| Beyond the Stereotypes: the Complexities of the Stripper and Porn Lifestyle with Simon Marini | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:52:17 | |
Welcome to this week's episode of our podcast, where we sit down with Simon Marini, a former professional fighter turned stripper and porn star. Simon shares his journey with us, from the struggles of performance anxiety as a fighter, to hitting rock bottom with depression and attempting suicide. He also discusses how stripping helped him cope with his anxiety and how it affected his dating life.
Simon then shares his story of transitioning into the porn industry, including his initial reservations and questioning his sexuality as a straight male working in gay porn. He also gets candid about the technical aspects of the industry, such as fake cum shots and the differences between gay and straight porn.
As the conversation progresses, Simon talks about his experiences dating women while working in gay porn, as well as the STI scares he's had to navigate over the years. We also touch on the important topic of condom use in porn.
Finally, Simon shares with us how he eventually stepped back into the fighter scene and how his family reacted to his work in the porn industry. Join us as we explore Simon's unique journey and gain a deeper understanding of the realities of the adult film industry.

What does consent really look like when it comes to sex and intimacy? How do you ask your partner to try new things without crossing a boundary? How do we make sure everyone feels comfortable when we're being intimate?
We're answering all of these questions on the podcast this week with Dr. Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou.

| Why Sex Work is Real Work with Mona from 'Answers' | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:46:39 | |

| How to have an open relationship, with Gayle Lynn | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:51:43 | |
In this episode, we're talking about how to have an open relationship, and joining me is Gayle Lynn.
Gayle Lynn is a relationship coach focused on "What do you do when your partner wants to have sex with another person?" or maybe "You want to have sex with someone else?"
She has a passion to empower women to make educated choices about their relationships. She has personally experienced her spouse coming to her and expressing his desire to have sex with someone else, as shares in this episode.
So many people will go out and cheat on their partner when there is a better way to handle the situation. Creating open and honest communication is key in these situations. Big feelings come up and many people don't know how to process them. Having someone who has no agenda and creates a space where there will be no shame or guilt is what her clients experience.
