What if porn could actually deepen your intimacy, spark real connection, and help you reclaim your pleasure without shame?
In this rebellious and radically honest episode, I sit down with Lily Sparks, the visionary founder and CEO of Afterglow, an ethical porn platform created by women. We dive deep into what it means to be turned on with intention from busting the myths around porn addiction to navigating boundaries, fantasies, and the healing power of conscious erotic content.
We’re talking:
✨ Why ethical porn is a game-changer for relationships
🔥 How couples can use porn to enhance intimacy (not escape it)
💬 Consent, representation, & real communication
💥 Reclaiming your sexual narrative without shame, guilt, or apology
Whether you’re porn-curious or ready to start your pleasure revolution, this conversation is your permission slip to explore, express, and embrace your turn-on unapologetically.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
