In this bold and emotionally raw episode of Ask Nyomi: Bridging the Gap Live, we welcome the multi-dimensional Pepper K — former news producer turned adult entertainer and creator of Design Your Dream Girl. Together, we explore the hidden truths behind male loneliness, emotional connection through fantasy, and the healing power of adult intimacy. Host Nyomi Banks, co-host Dog Pound Mike Mike, and guest Pepper K dive deep into:
  • How the adult industry reveals unmet emotional needs in men
  • Why companionship, not sex, is often the true desire
  • The mental toll and emotional intelligence required for sex work
  • Overcoming shame, setting boundaries, and creating safe spaces for expression
  • What Design Your Dream Girl offers that mainstream platforms don’t
Plus, Pepper K shares her journey of living a double life, confronting online backlash, and finding empowerment in vulnerability. Live audience callers ask hard-hitting questions about disability, abandonment, boundaries, and emotional attachment—creating a powerful community dialogue around empathy, sexuality, and acceptance. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the emotional layers behind sex work, the silent struggles of men, and the power of human connection. ✨ Stay tuned through the end for a special announcement about our upcoming Love & Mental Health Series kicking off in May — featuring therapists, coaches, and powerful guest stories every Thursday at 6 PM PST! 📍Connect with Pepper K:
