We recorded this right before we did the Luis DeJavier fashion show, and Asa didn’t know regular people use pasties. “Trans” is one of the top searched terms in porn again, according to the Pornhub Year-in-Review data. What’s a “penis fetish?” Why are dudes so obsessed with dicks? Why is it sometimes easier to express yourself when you’re being recorded on-camera? It’s been a year since Natassia got her brand new p*ssy - she was gracious enough to tell us: what does it feel like??? Is it...

In January, Pornhub Brand Ambassador Kira Noir made history by becoming the first Black woman to be crowned the AVN Female Performer of the Year! We talk to her straight off of her win - what this award means to her, why it's amazing, but why it's also kind of a bummer. Did she see this coming? Do we *know* when we are going to win awards? We also discuss her recent relationship status, and whether or not "friends with benefits" can ever really work.

Todays episode is my dream interview; our guest is urologist Dr Andrew Steinberg. Obviously, I hounded him with over an hours worth of boner questions.

We discuss stigmas, life changes, and how as we get older... we are just giving less f*cks. As I talk about my latest plastic surgery, we ponder what it means to be "feminine" and question whether...

Dirty Lola is a sex educator, performer, and - in her own words - dildo slinger. She is the host and creator of SexEdAGogo which is a LIVE sex ed variety show based in Brooklyn that aims to end stigma, shame, and all the misinformation surrounding sex.

Yes, you read that right - he is the first pansexual person and the first Furry - that we know of - to go to space!

Leo Vice was working a regular 9-5 in the corporate world, before entering the porn industry in his mid 30s - becoming one of the very few mainstream Asian male pornstars in the US. Why are there so few Asian men in porn? Why are there barely any in media in the US in general? What is “pretty privilege?” Is “paying your dues” in porn via blowbangs a thing of the past? Do all male performers take performance enhancing drugs? It was interesting for me to talk to someone who was BRAND new in the...

Robin Tran just emerged from a lifelong depression, and her career EXPLODED during the pandemic.

Our guest today is the one and only Trip Richards, aka Triple X Transman. How can one have a career in porn without shooting for mainstream studios? Is activism a privilege, are trans sex workers “activists” simply by existing? Can it be minimizing to say gender is a social construct? Why is so much “queer” porn made for the straight male gaze? Is bottoming secretly the most dominant thing, or is topping the most submissive thing - or both?? Is there room for mainstream porn studios to be a...
