WASHINGTON – Humorist and adult performer Jupiter’s Slut is on her way to the nation’s capital next week to speak on the “More Than Sexy: Conundrums Faced by Feminists in Porn” panel at the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit.
Jupiter’s Slut will be joined on the panel by adult performers Jessica Drake and Jet Setting Jasmine. The discussion will take place on August 3rd from 9:00-10:30am in Plaza Ballroom C at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Va.
“I am really looking forward to a discussion of porn and feminism at Woodhull,” said Jupiter’s Slut. “Porn is central to my identity as a feminist, producing porn has taught me a great deal about my sexuality. I’m entitled to my sexuality in ways I never would have been without producing porn, both in terms of safety and pleasure. For me personally, porn and feminism have been a potent combination, and I’m really looking forward to hearing about the experience of others. The more porn I produce, the stronger my feminist convictions have become.”
Co-panelist Jessica Drake added that “being a porn performer, director, and producer comes complete with its own set of assigned stereotypes from society.”
“I am also a feminist, educator, and activist,” Drake said. “To some, those things cannot exist simultaneously, and I look forward to speaking on this panel and sharing my unique lived experiences.”
Jet Setting Jasmine described the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit as “an excellent and important outlet for dialogue and movement on the vast number of intersections that have an impact on feminism.”
A description of the panel states it will deal with the questions: “How do you deal with sexism, when it’s your job to be sexy? How do feminists in porn deal with issues around propagating harmful stereotypes, unhealthy power dynamics, and body image? What do women in porn believe are their most effective tools for empowering themselves and others, and where are they still falling short?”
The panelists will relate their “personal narratives from different parts of the porn industry as they discuss their experiences of sexism and sexual liberation.”
“It’s an honor to present at Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit,” said Jupiter’s Slut. “This will be my third year at Woodhull, it’s an incredible community of people who are passionate about their freedom and their sexuality.”
