Portrait of a woman sitting on a bed with a bold 'Sex in Berlin' headline overlay, suggesting a feature article.

In this episode of Sex in Berlin, host Nike sits down with Erika Lust – erotic filmmaker, feminist, and one of the true pioneers of independent adult cinema.

Over the past 20 years, Erika has been redefining what porn can look and feel like: inclusive, female-gaze-driven, and made with care for everyone on set and on screen. Together, they talk about what feminist porn actually means (hint: it’s not just soft lighting and talking), why all media educates, for better or worse and how watching women experience real pleasure can shift something deep inside you. Erika also opens up about raising kids while making explicit films, her complicated relationship with her mom’s opinion of her work, and why she believes the antidote to bad porn isn’t no porn. It’s better media literacy, more honest sex education, and stories that finally center female desire.

Plus: what she really thinks about AI-generated porn, and the book she has coming out that tells the full story of how she became Erika Lust.
