BERLIN — Lustery has released its latest online course, “How to Watch Porn,” a 12-part video series encouraging viewers to reflect on their own behaviors and prejudices against porn.
The course is led by porn scholar Madita Oeming, sex writer and podcaster Aria Vega, sex educator and content creator Kody McCree and Lustery founder, porn director and producer Paulita Pappel.
“Over the last years, a phenomenon discussing the regular consumption of porn has taken over social platforms — No Nut November,” a rep explained. “The internet challenge is an attempt to fully quit masturbation for one month and with that goes watching porn.”
“How to Watch Porn” is presented “as a countermovement to destigmatize the consumption of porn and the conversations around it. Viewers can learn how to navigate their own desires and feel at ease when consuming pornography, hence, laying the foundation for a healthy relationship to one’s own sexuality.”
The new course aims to teach media competency and critical thinking “for a more conscious, informed and eventually more lustful and shame-free way to enjoy adult videos,” the rep continued.
Touching on matters like consent, sexual fantasies, representation and more, the online course spans over two hours providing advice and self-reflecting exercises.
Pappel noted that porn, “can be part of a healthy sexual self-care practice. But media competence, or porn-literacy, is scarce, and people’s relationship to it is burdened with shame. We’re offering guidance to gain agency over the consumption of porn and enabling people to make their own informed decisions and develop a confident approach to it.”
