Paths to Adult Film: Personal Stories and Industry Insights

Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes of your favorite porn? Today I’m joined by adult film director Jacky St. James and performer Ana Foxxx. We discuss their hottest scenes, what it’s like being on set, what constitutes ‘ethical porn’ and whether porn actors fake their orgasms.

Plus, Jacky walks me through her approach to creating an adult film and how porn industry has evolved over time. Ana shares what it’s like dating as a porn star, details from her dirty 30 birthday party and how porn has shaped her sex life on and off-screen. We also answer your questions like: is porn scripted or spontaneous and is it normal to get jealous when your partner watches porn?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What really happens on a porn set, from fake orgasms to real chemistry.
• How porn shapes real-life sex and what actually feels good.
• Why ethical porn hits different with real pleasure, real connection, and no male gaze.
