Kelly and Chip welcome award winning porn director, Jacky St. James to the podcast to discuss her life working in the adult entertainment industry. Jacky is known for her feminist approach to porn and describes how the process of writing and directing a porn film has many similarities to other kinds of film shoots. She also tells the story of fearlessly abandoning the life she once sought as an actress and taking the risk to jump into porn. Jacky is also currently getting her master's degree in Family and Marriage Psychology which leads the conversation to dissect much about the connection of psychology to human sexuality and why she sees this everyday in her line of work. They also discuss the fear around discussing porn, yet the fact that the billion dollar industry doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Whether you agree with porn or not, knowledge is power. Kelly discusses why understanding the porn industry is helping her let go of (abandon) some of her preconceived notions and fears about the industry in general.
