Podcasts about Objectification

Shame and stigma are used to keep us in line and keep us quiet. Some of it is quite obvious, while other parts of the shame and stigma are more subtle and a little harder to recognise. From girlhood, we are taught that we should look and feel a certain way. The expectations of motherhood, our careers, our bodies, whether or not we should choose marriage are all laced with taboos. Today’s guest is Dr Jessica Zucker. Jessica is a clinical psychologist with a PhD who specialises in reproductive health and the author of the award-winning book I HAD A MISCARRIAGE: A Memoir, a Movement. Today we are going to unpack some of the concepts of her second book titled Normalize it: Upending the Silence, Stigma and Shame That Shape Women’s Lives. We speak about: Jessica’s own miscarriage and how women tend to blame themselves when they experience miscarriage Being told to keep pregnancy a secret until 2nd trimester & how it can leave women feeling unsupported The trifecta of silence, shame and stigma and how they all feed each other “At least” comments and how they try to ‘tidy up’ pain Objectification theory Navigating diet culture and health messaging with our kids The language we use when it comes to health and conditions like cancer of ‘beating it,’ ‘be strong’ and ‘fighting’ Perfectionism and it’s link to anxiety The narratives of what we ‘should’ want to be like married and mothers You can get a copy of Dr Jessica Zucker’s new book here: Amazon Find her on Instagram: @ihadamiscarriage And more from her website: drjessicazucker.com You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Exploring the Empowering Side of Dark Sexual Fantasies.Overall, the discussion explores the nuances of dark/taboo subgenres and the importance of reframing the narratives around them. About Stephani Del Rey:  Stephani Del Rey loves to write about sexy, independent women who know what they want - especially if it involves being taught a lesson by a LOT of hot, dominant men! She writes MMFM/ gangbang/ reverse harem erotica that features sharing, degradation, erotic humiliation, spanking, light bondage and plenty of edging and dirty talk. Her mission is to deliver on that female submission kink while keeping it fun, trashy and empowering. She lives in the UK, where she dreams of one day having a walk-in wardrobe for her lingerie.Mailing list and get a free book: http://eepurl.com/h_VHrDhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Stephani-Del-Rey/author/B0BGYQ7JH6Shared by the Special Forces An MMFM Humiliation Story (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/42HTFzOSummary:Journey into the complex world of erotic storytelling with UK-based author Stephanie Del Rey, who crafts tales of strong women exploring their submission fantasies. This fascinating discussion delves into how erotic fiction serves as a powerful tool for processing trauma, challenging cultural norms, and reclaiming female sexual agency.The conversation explores controversial themes including the "male gaze," consensual non-consent, and the healing potential of taboo fantasies. Del Rey shares personal insights about how her own experiences shaped her writing, particularly in creating stories where female characters find empowerment through their sexuality while being cherished by protective, dominant partners.Topics: Primal Desires and Submission, Reclaiming Sexuality Through Erotic Fiction, The Objectification of Women in Media and Culture, Empowering Women's Sexuality and Consent, Exploring the Origins and Acceptance of Kinks, Empowering Female Sexuality in Erotica, Exploring Female Sexuality Through Fiction, Exploring Nuanced Perspectives on Kink and Gender, The Appeal of Dominant-Submissive Dynamics and also Humiliation and Degradation Kinks, Navigating Censorship in the Digital Age, The Precarious Nature of Online Content Creation, Reclaiming/redefining the Gangb**g and asking for it: Celebrating Female PleasureKey Takeaways: • Reclaiming terms like "asking for it" can empower women to explore their desires safely through fantasy, rather than feeling shame.• Fiction allows women to confront their fears around violence and vulnerability, processing these experiences in a controlled setting.• Exploring taboo themes in a fictional context can have a healing potential for women.Support the showSubscribe for exclusives: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1599808/subscribeSign up for Ruan's newsletters: https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillowhttps://linktr.ee/RuanWillowI Dare You book https://books.ruanwillowauthor.com/idareyouthesaturdaysexchallenge NO AI TRAINING

The 40-Year-Old Virgin launched a comedy empire—but does it still hold up, or is it best left in the mid-2000s? From outdated jokes to cringeworthy gender politics, this Judd Apatow classic has a lot to answer for.  This week, comedian and Bechdel Cast co-host Caitlin Durante joins DB to break down its virginity-obsessed premise, the way it treats female pleasure as a punchline, and why so many early 2000s comedies leaned on casual misogyny and homophobia for laughs.

Grab your FREE companion resource for this episode!Do you feel torn between prioritizing losing weight or prioritizing body acceptance, loving yourself, intuitive eating, and the healing that your soul is calling you toward? Do you find it hard to ACTUALLY believe you can lose weight at the same time?I was there too for SO. MANY. YEARS.It took me so long to release body objectification because I was willing to drink that poison just a little bit longer believing it would make me skinny. I thought I could use IT to get my desired result and THEN unsubscribe.The truth is I never got into my dream body UNTIL I was willing to release body objectification, and it was a much different process than I expected it to be.That's what we're digging into on this episode where I was interviewed by intuitive empath & therapist Michelle Poverman's on her chart-topping podcastInto The Work.Press play to hear:- What is body objectification and what does it actually mean to love our bodies? (PSA: It doesn't have to involve ADMIRING our body to love our body.)- Why dissociating from our bodies is robbing us of the abundance of pleasure available to us and causing even more self-sabotage- Why giving ourselves permission to PLAY is actually the most effective way to learn and change anything in our lives- Why planning for more enjoyment actually creates more efficiency in our weight loss journeys- How to step into being the SUBJECT (no longer the object) of your life by truly learning about yourself and LIKING yourself- Using maps of consciousness to explore your strengths instead of look for things to fix about yourself- Why the first thing I do as a coach is introduce people to their resourcing before trying to solve problems- Why exploring your desired FEELINGS is more important than your desired results- Why what's loving for you is always loving for others too- and so much more!Listen to my other episode with Michelle: episode 185The Soul of Weight Loss⁠Join us⁠ in this month's gatherings of theWild Wellness Women's Circle:Feb 12: A Galentine's Celebration of the 4 Feminine ArchetypesFeb 27: Sex & Intimacy Q&A with Sarah Wilde from⁠⁠⁠Modern Sex Life⁠⁠⁠(Replays always available same day!)Free Resources- Feel how you want to feel NOW with my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Desire Map⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- FREE Masterclass: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discover Your Spiritual Gifts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Sign up for a FREE 1:1 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠coaching curiosity call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's Connect on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's Go Deeper Together- Join the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wild Wellness Women's Circle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (monthly membership)- Enroll in⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rewild Your Wellness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (lifetime access online course)- Learn more about⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠one-on-one coaching⁠⁠

Anna's guest this week is Ashley James: woman full of contradictions. Originally from a working class family in Northumberland, she won a scholarship to boarding school where she had to change her accent to fit in, and had a friend with a castle who quite literally rubbed shoulders with royalty. She found fame via Made in Chelsea, and it's been hard graft since then: she's DJ'd all over the world, built up an impressive broadcasting career, and is now a regular on This Morning. Over the past decade she's become increasingly known for her outspoken work around the double standards affecting women in the media, and she's here to talk about what it's really like being a woman in the public eye, and the cost of what our cultural objectification of women has had on us.If you or someone you know is struggling with any of the topics discussed in It Can't Just Be Me, you can find useful resources and support here: https://audioalways.lnk.to/ItcantjustbemeIG.Every Friday Anna, alongside a panel of experts, will be addressing YOUR dilemmas in our brand new episodes ‘It's Not Just You'! If you have a dilemma or situation you'd like discussed, reach out to Anna by emailing hello@itcantjustbeme.co.uk or DM her on Instagram @itcantjustbemepod Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Christopher and Heather dive into a topic that's often a lightning rod for controversy: whether women deserve to be censored for what they wear and how women's fashion choices are subject to societal judgment and double standards. The discussion takes a close look at WNBA superstar Angel Reese, who recently made headlines with her bold New Year's Eve fashion choice and faced backlash for her provocative outfit. This lively dialogue peels back the layers of social double standards, societal expectations, and the broader implications for female agency and self-expression.  Join us as we explore how women can reclaim their narratives and shine unapologetically.

Seth and Marc celebrate episode 200 in the midst of Princetober with the very troublesome Work That Fat. This isn't a single and, in some ways, it's barely a song. A voice-altered Prince makes a bunch of middle school jokes at a fat woman's expense while also saying how much he loves fat women. Yikes.

This episode is being re-released for your enjoyement. Please enjoy the episode. Natasha has an upcoming group that you can sign up for: Pornography Dilemma Online Group with Natasha This group has been developed to help couples overcome the common struggles with pornography use within the marital contract. During this group, we will: Begin to deal with and repair the typical secrecy/betrayal cycles that have historically occurred in the relationship with sexual media. Understand evidence-based information about sexual media allowing well-informed decisions to be made based on science and our values instead of myths and folklore. Help couples understand the importance of balancing the need for individual autonomy and relational connection that can often feel contraindicated. Learn to move from “ownership” models of sexuality to “partnership” models of sexuality. Guide couples through agreement work based on principles of sexual and marital health (honesty, shared values, transparency, and differentiation). Begin repairing trust and building a relationship where relational, erotic sexuality can flourish if that's what both partners want moving forward.

They cover all types of topics such as: What are some common correlations that are made in regards to porn viewing research that are completely inaccurate? Are we aware that those who view porn tend to be more egalitarian in their relationships? Why does it matter if we call problematic behavior by the right name (i.e. addiction vs. compulsivity vs. out-of-control, etc.)? Did you know that women respond to erotica in similar ways as men do and even share similar sexual tastes? Did you know that people who view erotic films report having increased desire for sexual activity with their spouse/partner? Objectification of women is definitely a problem, but violence? Not so much. Did you know that those who report having “out of control” behavior with porn viewing actually watch the same or less than those who don't identify with having a problem? And that research is now showing that those who see their behavior as problematic tend to come from religious or conservative backgrounds? Get up to date with what we think is science versus what is actually science in regards to positives and negatives that can come from porn/erotic viewing. Nicole Prause obtained her PhD at Indiana University with joint supervision from The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in 2007. Her concentrations were in neuroscience and statistics. She completed her APA/APPIC clinical internship at the Boston Consortium. Her clinical rotations were in neuropsychological assessment and behavioral medicine; her research fellowship was at Harvard University in alcoholism treatment. She was promoted to Associate Scientist at UCLA in 2014. Current laboratory interests include primary rewards, transcranial brain stimulation, and approach motivation. She is licensed as a psychologist in the state of California. Dr. Prause currently holds positions as the founder of Liberos LLC, an independent research institute, and Data Scientist in Los Angeles.

At this goes out we are halfway through the Paris 2024 Olympic games. There's bodies on display and a lot of body commentary. Some of it is great, positive, inclusive and recognising that 'fit' doesn't have look and celebrating all the amazing things that different bodies can do. But unfortunately, a lot of it is awful. Objectification of both men and women, body shaming, and criticism, so we chat about that. Makingthe most of the good and managing the bad. We are loving Ilona Maher's instagram posts as well as lots of Olympic themed memes and humour. Meg's favourite thing this week was Recipetin Eats Dahl - cheap, fillig, meat-free and delish!

Here is the definition of Sex Addiction which I use: "......On the other hand, Huw Edwards (a high profile - currently in the media) regrettably, likely does have a Porn Compulsivity/Addiction).

It is because the behaviours (not the porn viewing per se) - but the getting the neurochemical fix - is so powerful. Porn viewing and the commensurate risks, is the equivalent of the drug takers needle. It the conduit to get the neurochemicals into the body. It isn't about porn or sex!...... Yes, but does sex or porn addiction really exist? Judge for yourself.

Objectifying people in relationships means treating them as objects rather than human beings —viewing them as a means to an end without any feelings or regard for their well-being.  Objectification not only hurts people but also erodes the foundation of any meaningful relationship.  Learn the signs of objectifying someone and how to stop doing it so that we can establish genuine and authentic connections.

Yesterday, I told you about Dr. Andrew Bauman, a Christian counselor whose own experience and study on the effects of pornography has reported on the dire effects of pornography on young men and young women. Bauman has written about the development of what's called a pornographic style of relating, or PSR, which happens when pornography becomes a child's primary teacher and guide on sexual development. Today, I want to look at the first two of the six categories of PSR Bauman cautions us about. First, there is the category of control. God has given us sex as mutual experience for one man and one woman to share in marriage. Online pornography encourages solo sexuality that is non-mutual, putting sexuality in your own control and power. Its a straying from God's good design. Second, there is the category of objectification, where others are not seen as people, but as objects to be used and cheaply discarded. Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of PSR.

Today, we're diving into the intricate world of TikTok's social dynamics. Our focus? The emergence of 'pick me men' and the intriguing concept of the female gaze. Flex delves into the trend of men strategically distancing themselves from 'pick me' behaviours to position themselves as more self-aware than their fellow counterparts. Then dissects the evolution and occasional misinterpretations of the male gaze, ultimately leading to the emergence of the female gaze phenomenon. Through the lens of notable TikTok creators like Strange Kevin and Quinn, we'll analyze how these trends mirror deeper societal shifts in gender dynamics, self-presentation, and the pursuit of authenticity in digital spaces. Join Flex to challenge preconceptions and unravel the layers of these trends. Who truly benefits, and are we witnessing genuine progress or just a fresh coat of paint on age-old patriarchal norms?

  The Danger of Pornography: It's not just a biblical issue; studies in psychology and science show the harmful effects of pornography. Pornography can lead to sexual dysfunction, making individuals less responsive to a normal sexual relationship with their partner. Internet addiction, including pornography, is causing societal problems, making people less connected and more self-absorbed. The Objectification and Harm of Women: Leslie points out the mistreatment, objectification, and even trafficking of women in the pornography industry. She quotes Jesus, who condemned those who harm children, linking this to the harm caused by pornography, especially when children are involved. Is Pornography Adultery?: According to the Bible, adultery is not limited to physical acts; it also includes unfaithfulness and lustful thoughts. The reluctance of some churches to equate pornography with adultery may stem from the fear of increasing divorce rates in their congregations. Addressing Pornography Addiction: It's importnat to learn how to say no to oneself for a higher purpose. If one can't be honest about their addiction and seeks to hide it, the lying becomes a deeper issue than the addiction itself. Masturbation: If a partner is unavailable due to injury or illness, self-care may be appropriate. However, using masturbation to avoid intimacy can be harmful to the relationship. Women and Pornography: Pornography is not solely a male issue, as more women are exploring their own sexual desires. Leslie highlights the dangers of pornography, emphasizing that it can lead to unhealthy relationships and addiction. Talking to Children About Pornography: Leslie provides advice on how to approach the topic of children watching pornography or exploring their bodies. She emphasizes not shaming children but educating them about appropriate boundaries. Hope for Recovery: Leslie offers hope for those affected by pornography addiction, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness and redemption. She encourages a path toward honesty and away from deception and addiction. Support for Spouses: Leslie advises spouses not to become consumed with fixing their partner's problem but to address their own emotions and needs. It's essential to focus on personal safety, trust, and emotional well-being while being compassionate and supportive. Resources: Sign up for the free webinar on February 13: www.leslievernick.com/OK

In this episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick is joined by Dr. Mary Jo Sharp as she discusses her journey from atheism to Christianity and the importance of doubt. She also addresses the issue of hypocrisy in the church and how to heal from church wounds. Dr. Sharp emphasizes the need to appreciate the beauty of women in the church while recognizing the objectification that takes place for so many women in this context. She also shares about her experience of turning outward and partnering with God in her ministry and reflects on the importance of trusting God in difficult times.Key Takeaways: Doubt is a complex process that involves intellectual and emotional aspects.Hypocrisy in the church can cause deep wounds, but healing is possible through self-reflection and forgiveness.Beauty is an important aspect of God's creation and should be appreciated and celebrated.   Turning outward and partnering with God can lead to meaningful ministry and personal growth.     Trusting God in difficult times is a lifelong journey that requires perseverance and reliance on His goodness.Episode Breakdown:00:00 - Introduction and Background00:49 - Understanding Doubt10:17 - Dealing with Hypocrisy in the Church16:20 - Healing from Church Wounds25:09 - Objectification of Women in the Church31:53 - Turning Outward and Partnering with God35:25 - Learning to Trust God Episode Resources:   Why I Still Believe: A Former Atheist's Reckoning with the Bad Reputation Christians Give a Good God by Dr. Mary Jo Sharp  A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing by Dr. Scot McKnight  Pivot: The Priorities, Practices, and Powers That Can Transform Your Church into a Tov Culture by Dr. Scot McKnight  The Visual Museum Of Women In Christianity  Episode Sponsor:  The Alabaster Jar is brought to you by The Center for Women in Leadership, a newly formed 501©3 nonprofit organization whose purpose is to equip women in a context that is biblically rooted, theologically robust, and ethnically diverse to thrive as leaders in the academy and the Church.

As I sat down to record this episode on a day that's all about love, I couldn't help but think about the less amorous and more troublesome aspects of being a woman in the business world. The Is Me podcast takes a raw, no-holds-barred look at the objectification and unspoken hurdles women face in professional settings—those moments when the line between business and personal interest blurs, and the battle to be respected for our minds and talents overshadows our work. Support the showStay connected with me https://iammarilynm.com/linkwithmeThis Is Me Journalhttps://a.co/d/bKgyXlD

“In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification". According to Martha Nussbaum, a person is objectified if one or more of the following properties are applied to them:[1] Instrumentality – treating the person as a tool for another's purposes Denial of autonomy – treating the person as lacking in autonomy or self-determination Inertness – treating the person as lacking in agency or activity Fungibility – treating the person as interchangeable with (other) objects Violability – treating the person as lacking in boundary integrity and violable, "as something that it is permissible to break up, smash, break into." Ownership – treating the person as though they can be owned, bought, or sold (such as slavery) Denial of subjectivity – treating the person as though there is no need for concern for their experiences or feelings Rae Langton proposed three more properties to be added to Nussbaum's list:[2] Reduction to body – the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts Reduction to appearance – the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses Silencing – the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak. Sexual objectification is the act of treating a person solely as an object of sexual desire. Objectification more broadly means treating a person as a commodity or an object without regard to their personality or dignity. Objectification is most commonly examined at the level of a society, but can also refer to the behavior of individuals and is a type of dehumanization.” -Wikipedia. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

The Playboy mansion was supposed to be a place of freedom, expression and empowerment for Crystal Hefner, but it turned out to be the total opposite. As one of the girlfriends – and then wife – of Hugh Hefner, she had to be seen and not heard. In this chat with Fearne, Crystal explains how living in the Playboy mansion saw her pitted against other women and picked apart for her appearance. Recognising the financial abuse in particular, she began saving her own money, which eventually created a foundation from which to rebuild her life, and self-worth, when Hef died. Fearne and Crystal also chat about how to start discovering what you like, and what makes you happy, after previously living for other people. Plus, how to move away from feeling your self worth hinges on your appearance. Crystal's book, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, is out now. Hosted on Acast.

The blockbuster film "Barbie" is a journey through fantasy to our flawed reality revealing profound truths about gender discrimination and societal norms. In this episode, our guests Jan Langbein, Bianca Davis, and Amy Jones uncover the layers of patriarchy skilfully woven into the narrative of the 2023 film. We traverse from Barbie's idyllic origins to her encounter with the harsh realities faced by women, discussing how these fictional events mirror the gender biases that permeate our professional and personal lives.Our conversation isn't just about the silver screen. We shed light on the shadowy corners of gender inequality, addressing how ambition in women is often misconstrued while their male counterparts are praised for similar traits. The episode navigates through Barbie's confrontation with corporate giants, reflecting the pressures to conform, and extends the discussion to real situations faced by survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual assault. We mingle our expertise with experiences, unpacking how systemic issues fortify traditional gender roles and the importance of sisterhood in overcoming them.The dialogue takes a turn as we dissect the complexities of the 'Tradwife' movement, the objectification of women, and the crucial fight for survivors of sexual assault within the legal labyrinth.  Our guests bring a wealth of knowledge and personal insights to this episode, offering a powerful message that leaves you not only enlightened but empowered to be part of the change for gender equality.

Yasi and Steven welcome prolific researcher and NEAMA Vice-President Dr. Tomi-Ann Roberts PhD to discuss her work on objectification and sexualization in dance. We also examine the negative effects of social media on one's mental health and how a simple three-day cleanse off of social media had surprising and powerful results. Our conversation delves into college NIL (name, image, and license) money and how this all connects with male athletes as well. For more about "ways of Seeing" by John Berger, go to https://www.ways-of-seeing.comFor more on Dr. Roberts and her work, go to https://www.tomi-annroberts.comFor more info on Athletes and the Arts, go to https://www.athletesandthearts.comBio: Dr. Roberts has been covered in many media sources including the New York Times about how her experience of being sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein while a college student motivated her work on sexual objectification, contributing her scholarly voice to the #MeToo movement. In addition to her scholarly publications and teaching, she served on the American Psychological Association's Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls, the Task Force on Educating Through Feminist Research, and as President of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research from 2017-2019. She leverages feminist psychological science as a consultant for reproductive health related product brands, and as an expert witness in legal cases involving objectification and sexualization as forms of gender discrimination.

“Exceptional performance of pornographic actors and actresses is recognized in the AVN Awards, XRCO Awards and XBIZ Awards. The AVN Awards are film awards sponsored and presented by the American adult video industry trade magazine AVN (Adult Video News). They are called the "Oscars of porn".[44][45][46] The AVN Awards are divided into nearly 100 categories, some of which are analogous to industry awards offered in other film and video genres, and others that are specific to pornographic/erotic film and video.[47] The XRCO Awards are given by the X-Rated Critics Organization annually.[48] The Venus Awards are presented each year in Berlin as part of the Venus Berlin trade fair.” “With some notable or occasional exceptions, pornographic actors are not generally reported on by mainstream media. As a result, specialized publications (or trade journals) emerged to serve as a source of information about the industry, its business dealings, trends and forecasts, as well as its personnel. Two of the predominant media outlets are Adult Video News and XBIZ. Certain performers also have had their public accounts blocked on social media platforms.[49] The Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD) lists adult film productions dating back to the 1970s, the performers in those films, and the associated directors.” “Why is mainstream porn problematic? To fully understand the potential ethical porn has to transform the industry and the people associated with it, it's crucial to first understand how bad porn is when it's made without safety and fairness in mind. Psychological effects: Traditional porn can lead to interpersonal guilt and emotional disregulation and can lessen well-being for all genders. And excessive consumption may also lead to a compulsive need for porn that veers into addiction, interfering with consumers' daily lives and overall mental health. Relationship issues: It's not just a question of what porn does to you — it's what it does to the other people in your life. When viewers develop a skewed view of what sex actually looks like, dissatisfaction in real-world relationships is all but inevitable. Unrealistic expectations can eventually decrease sexual satisfaction or intimacy with your partner. Discrimination and exploitation: Discriminatory and exploitative practices are historically common in the porn industry, whether that's race-based, gender-based, or anything in between. When you watch mainstream porn that isn't vetted, you might never know if there was inequity, harassment, or abuse on that set. Normalization of violence: Violent or aggressive pornographic content may normalize or even trigger a desire for violence in viewers. Consensual kinks of this nature are totally normal, but porn has the potential to teach practices that lack respect, understanding, and proper care. Objectification of women: In many cases, the traditional, male-centric porn industry historically objectifies women, contributing to harmful social views and standards relating to women's roles and appearances. And when porn caters to male eyes, people of other genders might not see themselves accurately represented. Porn doesn't have to be this way, but these problems need systemic change to truly go away. That's the role ethical porn plays: ensuring this industry (and the content it produces) eventually brings more good to the world than harm.” -https://www.tryquinn.com/blog/ethical-porn-benefits. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Michael Ibara is the baker and maker of the infamous instagram profile that explores women's issues through vulva pies @piesinthewindow' We discuss the impact of Mikel's art in empowering women to embrace their bodies and the harmful consequences of societal norms and judgments when it comes to celebrating the diversity of women's bodies. The conversation also touches on the lack of understanding and miseducation by the medical industry regarding labiaplasty, a procedure that resuced the length of the labia minor and the most commonly performed aesthetic genital plastic surgery that can leave women with a lifetime of pain, sexual dysfunction and more.

As a summary this episode emphasizes the importance of art as a tool for liberation, self-acceptance, education and reclaiming our creative power, while also engaging a supportive community to challenge patriarchal programming.

The expectations and restrictions imposed upon us by society and our self imposed standards are all competing for my attention as I create this art.

In this episode of Healing & Human Potential, we are joined by Layla Martin to explore the topic of tantra, sacred sexuality, and erotic empowerment.   In our society, the topic of sex is often taboo, and for this very reason,  people remain disempowered in their sex lives. Layla unpacks where this stigma comes from and what we can do to release it. Sexual wellness plays a vital role in our overall well-being, but not enough of us are addressing it consciously.   It goes beyond just seeking pleasure; it involves nurturing healthy relationships, accepting ourselves, and having open communication. Each individual's path to sexual wellness is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.   Layla also shares the practical tools that helped her reclaim her sexuality, including pleasure practices, cervical orgasms, and much more.   ===   Want one of the most Powerful Tools to Support you in Awakening & Manifesting Your Dream Life from the Inside Out (for Free)?   Learn how to live to your full potential without letting fear get in the way of your dreams.   ✨ Here's How to Get Your Gift: ✨ Step 1: Just head over to Apple Podcast or Spotify + leave a review now Step 2: Take a screenshot before hitting submit Step 3: Then go to alyssanobriga.com/podcast to upload it!   ===   EPISODE TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 2:34 Understanding the Origins of Sexual Stigma 9:24 Defining Tantric Sex 13:17 Using Pleasure Practice to Heal Sexual Shame 18:55 What's Hidden Behind Fantasy 24:05 Pelvic Floor Work 25:35 Fear and Witch Shaming 33:13 Men Are Hurting Too 34:02 Why We Blame Ourselves When Things Go Wrong 39:50 Rewriting the Story of Objectification 44:26 Merging Practice & Presence 46:59 Technique for a Cervical Orgasm 57:34 Overcoming Body Shame 1:03:06 Developing & Nurturing Sexual Chemistry 1:13:17 Conclusion   ===   Layla Martin is a thought leader in the intersection of sexual wellness, Tantra, erotic empowerment, and personal development.   For 20 years, Layla traveled the world as a devoted student of Tantra, training with the most high-level teachers of this powerful tradition. She studied human sexuality, neuroscience, and biology at Stanford University and immersed herself in the energetic traditions of Taoism and early witchcraft.   Along the way, she personally curated a dynamic, holistic system from over 10,000 hours of practice that blends ancient traditions with modern techniques.   Layla dedicates herself to making these profound tools accessible through her VITA™ courses and professionally training VITA™ coaches worldwide.   Social Media: @thelaylamartin @vitamethod @thistantriclife Website: http://Laylamartin.com   ===   Have you watched our previous episode with Blu?   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xAU4T38lrP0?si=a-_wbhpvjgZeDunP   ====   Alyssa Nobriga International, LLC - Disclaimer This podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.
