Stoya’s experience of feeling true pleasure and excitement during working in pornography, how it was also a job on some days, and how her menstrual cycle greatly impacted her working conditions and experience in the industry.
Ideas and discussion on how harmful other people’s projected shame can be on our own internalized beliefs, and how much work it can take to distance ourselves from that.
