On this week&#8217;s podcast, I talk to Cindy Gallop, founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/makelovenotporn.tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MakeLoveNotPorn.tv<\/a> (adult content), about the challenges of creating a sex-tech startup and the benefits of removing shame and stigma from the national conversation about sex.<\/p>\n<p>Just a warning, today&#8217;s episode contains both adult language and content. This is also one of the most important episodes of the podcast I&#8217;ve ever released. The things Cindy Gallop is doing are absolutely amazing, and I&#8217;m so honored to have her on the show to share her story. I&#8217;ve been a subscriber to MakeLoveNotPorn.tv since seeing her TED talk, and she continues to pave the way towards making the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p>This is one episode you won&#8217;t want to miss.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what we chat about:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The impact of always-available pornography on young men<\/li>\n<li>How Cindy&#8217;s educational website turned into a video sharing website<\/li>\n<li>How sex education needs to adapt to reach the younger generation<\/li>\n<li>Improving the world by taking the shame and embarrassment out of sex and nudity<\/li>\n<li>Celebrating sex just like you&#8217;d celebrate other important life events<\/li>\n<li>The three words that kill almost every sex-tech startup: &#8220;no adult content&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Disarming &#8220;revenge porn&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Porn stars having real-world sex: how it&#8217;s completely different from the porn videos we know<\/li>\n<li>Becoming the <a href=\"http:\/\/ycombinator.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Y Combinator<\/a> of sex<\/li>\n<li>Why the &#8220;next big thing&#8221; in tech is changing the world through sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Links mentioned in this show include:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ted.com\/2009\/12\/02\/cindy_gallop_ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cindy Gallop TED talk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/makelovenotporn.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MakeLoveNotPorn.tv<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.downapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOWN app<\/a> (formerly Bang With Friends)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vibease.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vibease<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nytm.org\/blog\/entry\/14-03-2014\/lineup-for-february-4-ny-tech-meetup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NY Tech Meetup<\/a><\/li>\n<li>(Sponsor) <a href=\"http:\/\/planet1107.net\/nnl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Planet 1107 app development<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Did you enjoy this episode?
