Reinventing porn for women is more complicated than you think

Porn is typically made by men for men, but women have needs, too—and traditional porn doesn’t always meet them.

This week on 2 Girls 1 Podcast, Alli and Jen (actors who perform weird internet stuff on stage) talk with Michelle Shnaidman, founder of Bellesa.co, which creates porn videos, erotic fiction, erotic audio, and sex toys with a focus on female empowerment.

Shnaidman also addresses the site’s rocky beginnings and the common misconceptions about the porn industry.
