Ep. 351: What Does the Porn Industry Have to Do with Beauty?

Pornography has everything to do with sex, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect what people find attractive, says Cindy Gallop, ad executive, brand leader, entrepreneur, and founder of social sextech platform MakeLoveNotPorn. In this conversation, she talks to Jess about the false expectations the adult-film industry has set up in terms of body image; the homogeneous, often surgically altered, look of the actors in mainstream porn; how the beauty industry has flirted with the language of porn; the rise of genital plastic surgery; and so much more.
