CW: explicit discussions of sex and pornography

In this episode, we explore the intersections of eroticism, pornography, and theory with special guest Vex Ashley of Four Chambers. We discuss the influence of Georges Bataille on erotic art, the political stakes of sex work in an increasingly censorious cultural climate, and the boundaries between pornography and artistic expression. Vex shares insights into her creative process, the resurgence of the "mommy" archetype, and how erotic filmmaking can challenge dominant narratives about sex and power. We also examine the impact of digital platforms on intimacy, censorship, and the shifting landscape of desire.
