Join Professor Alan McKee, studying audience engagement with pornography, Jet Setting Jasmine, an advocate for ethical porn production and sex therapy, and sex educator Billy Lore, emphasizing performer wellbeing. They tackle whether porn distorts our views on sex and relationships. The conversation dives into the notion of ethical porn, exploring consent and transparency in the industry. They debunk myths linking porn to sex trafficking, advocating for informed, positive narratives around sexuality and the need for better sex education.

The porn industry and sex work is often stigmatized, but adult performers face racism, discrimination, and pay disparities within the industry. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Daily Show segment director Stacey Angeles, and adult entertainers and co-creators of the adult film production company, Royal Fetish Films, Jet Setting Jasmine and King Noire to discuss how the porn industry perpetuates racist stereotypes and capitalizes on racist film titles, how consumers can hold companies accountable, and what constitutes a sexual “fantasy.” Beyond the Scenes is a podcast from The Daily Show.
