Whether we give it credit or not, p*rn shapes our world. It changes how we think about intimacy, connection, and arousal — for better or worse.
We've had plenty of p*rn stars on the show. But we've never had a former p*rn star.
This episode explores the industry's shift to a creator-first model, how p*rn has always been a teacher for the community, and what it means for HIV stigma, new partners, and the art of the thing itself. How do creators define what they do? What is your favorite performer insecure about? And yes — we're absolutely going to ask about his Saturday Night Live sketch.
Our guest is Ty Mitchell: former performer, fantastic writer, and thinker. We also get to hear about his recent deep dive into the goon–iverse.
