The Steem Sister Show - Episode 119 // Porn (Part Two)
Welcome to the Steem Sister Show!
Your hosts are @coruscate and @maryjaney - two sisters bringing fun content to the Steem blockchain.
Topic of this Episode – Porn (Part 2)
You probably didn't think SSS would ever go here did ya? Well here we are chatting about porn and it actually ended up being a great topic of conversation! We had all sorts of interesting, thoughtful and comical conversations on this topic. For this particular week - we gave people the option to submit questions anonymously, and so that's why you'll see that listed below!
Ps... in case you missed Part One, be sure to check that out!
Here are the questions we answered in this episode:
Anonymous listener question - Does it bother you if/when your significant other watches porn?
Why do people watch porn?
@goldmatters - what is your favorite non-porn “porn” - food porn, gold porn etc.
Is porn a topic you openly talk about with your friends?
- Is there a difference between artistic nudity and porn?
What is the Steem Sister Show All About?
We aim to bring more “non-crypto” related content to the Steem Blockchain. Although there is nothing wrong with this kind of content (@coruscate even posts on crypto related material sometimes) – we want to help create a better onboarding experience for new users. We talk a lot about attracting new users to the platform – but if the trending page is filled with crypto posts and flagging wars, they are likely to lose interest quickly.
We hope that by creating content that is more similar to what they are used to seeing on other social media sites – they will feel more excited about being here and creating content of their own!
How Does It Work?
We pick a different theme every week, and then throw totally random questions about that topic in a hat and go back and forth. We always have a mix of our own questions and some audience questions. Our rule is that we cannot tell each other our answers before filming! So you guys are getting our raw, unfiltered reactions here.
Every episode we announce the next week’s topic so people can submit questions.
Want to win some Steem??
If we chose to answer your question in the next show… we will send you 2 Steem!
The Next Topic: Discovering Yourself
No, this is not an extension on our porn week. 😂We thought this would be a fun topic to discuss because Mary is in the middle of the classic mid-20's crisis of trying to figure out "what to do with your life", and I just turned 30 and am feeling ready to hit the ground running and make stuff happen.
We'd love to get your questions on finding your purpose, things you love and how to craft that all into a life you are excited about.
So send us your questions on "Discovering Yourself". If we choose your question - we'll send you 2 steem.
That’s a Wrap!
We hope you guys enjoyed this week! It was actually refreshing to have some intelligent and sometimes comical conversations about porn - because it's a topic that just doesn't get openly discussed in our culture very often.

I am LIVING for this gold porn 😍 After taking a break from drinking on the show I am glad that I can fulfill your wine anxiety needs! 😜
OMG RARE MARY JANEY COMMENT!!
HELL YAHHHHHHHHH
Wow, I am really proud of you for tackling this topic. It's a big one that affects all people, I imagine. Maybe us men especially. Definitely a sensitive subject to me. Personally, I have a belief that pornography can be very numbing to people's minds and moral values. Just a step in that direction can be destructive, I feel, as it seems to open a doorway to useless energy exertion and exhaustion. Worse, though, I wonder about the safety of those women (especially the young ones) who put their bodies on display in an objectifying (de-valuing) kind of way. I remember being 18 and very naive about my self-worth, and self-awareness, and... numb. I just want people to be safe, strong, happy, living well.
I remember when my daughter arrived, and my protective instincts showed up in a big way. She is a precious baby girl, and as her dad I see sacredness in her entire self: body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit. I do my best to help her to always value herself highly in that way. I try to set a good example for her and our my sons too, by treating each other's underwear regions as "private," because I feel this helps them to safeguard themselves. I also do my best to treat their mom with respect in every way, because I believe my example will create a certain pattern in the kids–ideally they will respect themselves and also find companions who treat them respectfully.
BTW, it's my first time visiting Steemit in nine months, and I'm excited to see the progress each of you have made. Way to go! Hope life is treating you well.
Thank you so much for checking out our show and leaving such a thoughtful remark. I 100% agree with you that porn can be very numbing of the mind and the senses. That's actually the main reason why I consume only occasionally. You bring up tons of great points about how to approach this topic when it comes to raising kids too.
It's great to see you back here on Steem! It was awesome to see your name pop up again! We used to always run into each other in Open Mic... but I hardly do that anymore anyway. I don't know why... I should really make more time for music! Anyway, i hope you are doing well and thanks again for stopping by our show!
This link isn't porn.
It's a mobile device game released by the National Film Board of Canada on how to find the clitoris
This is it
How long does it take you to finish the game???
'before we jump into the hat' o right Mrs. Potter, you're going to Slytherin
hahah I guess we deserve it this week.
Hahhah.... welp you got me to click on this. Hahah
I think that if porn is getting in the way of someone's normal activities then it is becoming an addiction. Like if they show up late to work or miss going to the gym because they are watching porn it could be an issue.
Also the whole thing about feeling ashamed once you are done watching..... i think that has happened to everyone at some point whether it is self shaming yourself from the pressures of society or the way you grew up.
I think that porn is equally good and bad depending on how people use it. It gives a lot of people and outlet and honestly that is a lot better than actually hooking up with someone that is going to be instant regret. That goes for guys and girls.
Congrats on approaching this topic. Hahahah
