Sex Confidential

In this episode, Sophie Cohen speaks to Cindy Gallop, the mastermind behind MakeLoveNotPorn, a site which aims to put the reality back into porn, and a businesswoman offering thought-leadership in the interrelation between sex and tech. Cindy talks about the new thinking about porn and sex as empowerment - how much has changed over the last few years and what changes are still to come. They discuss how current tech can be restrictive, in terms of the male-dominated social media platforms out there, which control narratives around women and restrict sex work. This is a vision for the future, while fighting the battle of the present.
