LOS ANGELES—Alison Rey opens up about going from performing to producing—and back to performing—and shares her insight on the modern adult industry as the featured guest on this week’s "Stripped by SIA" podcast.
Hosted by Steph Sia, "Stripped by SIA" is a podcast about strippers and sex workers with an aim to educate the masses about sex work, as well as normalize and de-stigmatize these professions.
The episode finds the adult performer/director sharing how she got into the industry, quantifying success in a healthy way, having the choice to say no to scenes you don't want to do, challenging problematic storylines in porn, and much more.
Rey debunks some myths about squirting and performers using enhancements, and gets vulnerable in discussing struggling with impostor syndrome, shifting life goals, and letting go of things that no longer serve you. She also talks about what "ethical porn" really means and acknowledges just how fun shooting cheesy porn is.
Said Sia, "Alison is a true professional. Not only is she a well-known figure in the industry, she is also completely down-to-earth, an extremely knowledgeable resource and tells it like it is. I really enjoyed our conversation together and feel like everyone will have a takeaway from this episode."
Commented Rey, "I loved being on the 'Stripped by SIA' podcast. Steph Sia is an incredible conversationalist and dares to go beyond the typical subject matter for an interview with a porn star. We talked about some of the real issues in the industry, and it was refreshing to have a nuanced conversation about them, rather than being pigeonholed into a conversation that perpetuates the stigma around it. It’s so important to have nuanced conversations when it comes to this industry because just like anything in life, it’s not black-and-white. It’s not all good, and it’s not all bad, but every part deserves to be talked about so that people can better understand our business as a whole. For too long, platforms like podcasts have held narrow, one-sided views of the industry and our conversation went in a very different direction than I was expecting. It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn more about it."
