Bataille, Eroticism, and the Future of Porn with Vex Ashley (aka @vextape)

Read this: https://splitinfinities.substack.com/p/crossing-the-line-the-repeater-books CW: explicit discussions of sex and pornography In this episode, we explore the intersections of eroticism, pornography, and theory with special guest Vex Ashley of Four Chambers . We discuss the influence of Georges Bataille on erotic art, the political stakes of sex work in an increasingly censorious cultural climate, and the boundaries between pornography and artistic expression. Vex shares insights into her creative process, the resurgence of the "mommy" archetype, and how erotic filmmaking can challenge dominant narratives about sex and power. We also examine the impact of digital platforms on intimacy, censorship, and the shifting landscape of desire. ig: @vextape Support the show AHRC Current classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): acidhorizonresearchcommons.com AHRC Course Archive: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-course-archives Submit your course proposal: acidhorizonresearchcommons@gmail.com More Links Website: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizon Acid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins M…
