In this episode, Hannah is joined by Paulita Pappel, who is a producer, director, and performer, and the co-founder of Lustery.com. Lustery is a platform for homemade porn from real couples and Hannah and Paulita talk about how that works, how they screen people and pay them for their work, and how the definition of amateur porn has changed. Paulita also discusses how she got into porn initially after having a very sex negative view of the world growing up, and answers your questions about consuming porn in a more ethical way, advice for making your own homemade or DIY porn safely, and introducing porn into your sex life. Hannah and Paulita also talk briefly about Pornhub and what happened after the New York Times Children of Pornhub article was published and the pattern of anti sex trafficking religious groups attacking porn sites. Finally, Hannah asks Paulita about the experience of curating the Berlin Porn Film Festival - what happens, what kind of films are shown, and why Hannah should go in 2022!
