American Sex Podcast Episode 77: Queer Porn Goes 'Straight Curious' with Shine Louise Houston
Queer porn producer, writer, and director Shine Louise Houston is our guest on episode 77 of American Sex Podcast. We talk about pay inequities in porn and her progressive pay structure for talent, what it means to be queer, her upcoming movie "Chemistry Eases the Pain," which is a “straight curious” adventure. All of that leads to a discussion of identity policing in the queer community, and the all-too-common problem of being ridiculed for doing something or someone that isn’t “queer enough.” We also discuss the challenges of being a queer woman of color in the industry, crowdfunding adult films, why it’s important to pay for your porn, and more. We also celebrate Shine's birthday!
Guest Bio
As the founding producer and director of Pink and White Productions, Shine Louise Houston has always had unique vision. Graduating from San Francisco Arts Institute with a Bachelors in Fine Art Film, her works have become the new gold standard of adult cinema. During a five year position at the women-owned, sex toy purveyor Good Vibrations, Shine recognized an underserved demand for an alternative to mainstream pornography and began to create well-crafted, queer-made porn. Shine’s films have been recognized among the next big wave of women produced porn and have been internationally screened from Amsterdam to New Zealand.
