Episode notes
How He Was Recruited Into Porn
- Joshua Broome was invited into porn by three actresses who sat with him at a restaurant and offered to introduce him to an agent.
- He accepted out of curiosity and a lack of identity direction, not immediate enthusiasm.

- Porn production strips intimacy of its sacredness by making sex transactional, performative, and directed.
- The set environment, multiple cameras, and director pressure create a fictitious version of intimacy that numbs participants.

- Directors invest heavily in shoots and demand results, creating intense performance pressure on male performers.
- That pressure drives substance use, erectile aids, and a survival mindset in the industry.
