LOS ANGELES — Reps for Sssh.com and Mindbrowse have announced the companies will co-host their ninth annual "big picture" seminar at XBIZ 2022 titled "Anti-Porn Activism in a Pro-Sex World" on Tuesday, Jan. 4, at 3 p.m. (PST).
The featured panelists are performers Siri Dahl, Ana Foxxx, Domino Presley and Siren SaintSin, adult industry attorney Corey Silverstein and Free Speech Coalition's Director of Public Affairs Mike Stabile with organizer and moderator Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals.
The presentation will be livestreamed on Sssh.com's Twitter profile.
"Historically, the wider social world has always had an uneven relationship with the adult industry community and sex media, one that vacillates between two broad perspectives: anti-pornography activism and pro-pornography fascination,” explained Tibbals.
"Our wider social world is currently in a period of anti-porn sentiment, one that’s being elevated by noteworthy mainstream media outlets alongside banking and payment processing entities. All this, while sex work is more visible and more visibly leveraged than ever,” she continued. “We’re going to be discussing various tensions that emerge when society continues to double-down on ‘hating’ something that it clearly loves during this event."
Panelists will discuss "the blurred lines emerging when variable individual demands for sex work, from consumers as well as workers, brush up against wider social repudiation. They will also discuss strategies to continue moving forward as productive community in this current social climate."
Audience members are invited to pose questions during the discussion.
"Our intention with our live-broadcast Mindbrowse events is to provide a platform for a diverse array of perspectives from our community to deep-dive relevant topics — and to make that discussion as accessible as possible via technology,” noted Sssh.com owner and director Angie Rowntree.
"The idea of enhancing accessibility via technology has finally become normalized, and we will continue to press that message alongside nuanced discussion of issues that impact our entire community,” Rowntree added.
