I agree with so much in this episode!

I think the working conditions are a real problem... Rashida Jones (Anne from Parks and Rec) has a really interesting series of documentaries about girls who earn really well for their first few videos, but then really struggle, and have to go down a really dark path just to continue earning (most of whom have lost their support networks, in a new city, etc).

I'm kind of disappointed that porn is even a thing... I feel like if we weren't so scared of our bodies and sex, and if society didn't freak out over the nipples of 50% of the population (but not the other 50%) then porn wouldn't be the massive industry that it is.

Totally agree on the lack of story-telling and in-your-faceness... my partner and I once bought a whole porn movie to watch together and it was so ridiculous, and the people looked bizarre that it made us laugh and killed any possible mood. Personally a hot scene in a normal movie is more impactful than any actual porn.

I really worry about what a whole internet full of porn does to younger generations. I've read articles about how teenage girls are more likely to perform hardcore sex acts before they get their first kiss now, but crazy porn gets normalised and teenage boys don't know any different... but I don't hang with teenagers, so I don't really have any insight here. I might be worrying for nothing.

The main thing I disagree with is Mary's point about deleting this if you get famous... firstly, there's no 'if' and secondly, we need actual real celebrities with real thoughts about a range of topics... so I hope when you get famous, your fans can find this video and love you both even more.

Thanks for tackling such a taboo topic! So good!!
