America is a weird place. On the one hand, we’re all obsessed with sex. On the other hand, our country was founded on some pretty strict, anti “sex for pleasure” puritanical values that are still very much alive today. In this episode, Jen and Carolyn will explore the history of pornography, the industry in the US, and whether porn is empowering or exploitative for women. And what’s up with genres like Stepmom porn and barely legal stuff?
