Summary

In this eye-opening episode, we dig into the complexities of the adult entertainment industry, shedding light on the personal stories often hidden behind its glitzy façade. Rey Jordan, a counselor with experience working with individuals in the industry, shares her insights on the real-life struggles that lead people to seek counseling and the trauma that shapes their experiences. We discuss the pathways many women take into the adult industry, the societal narratives that fail to reflect their true stories, and the ways in which pain and trauma shape their journeys. This conversation challenges the popular belief that adult performers are simply making a "choice," and explores the damaging cultural assumptions that perpetuate this mindset. The conversation touches on how the public’s view of pornography and the adult industry could change if people understood the deeper realities behind it. We discuss how people in recovery can use their healing to create positive change, and offer advice for those wanting to make a difference in the lives of those affected by the adult entertainment industry. Tune in for a powerful discussion that will change the way you think about these difficult issues.

0:10.3	Pure Desire podcast, your biblically based and clinically informed approach to healing from betrayal
0:15.5	and breaking free from compulsive sexual behavior. Today is episode 401 and here joining me as my co-host
0:24.2	again after our 400th episode celebration is Mrs. Ashley Jameson. Ashley, good to see you again.
0:31.4	Good to see you too. I'm really excited to be here and about this episode. Yes, today's episode is a little unique, maybe a little
0:40.1	different conversation than we've had because we are starting a three-part series we're
0:44.7	calling the other side of the screen and focusing on some of the topics of what happens to people
0:50.8	who are involved in the industry. What are the outcomes of this whole area of our
0:57.6	world, which so often people get stuck in a way of thinking that says, well, no one's being
1:01.3	hurt or this isn't impacting anyone. And I think in this three-part series, we're going to kind
1:05.9	of see the other side of the equation and how deeply people are impacted as we interview a new friend of the show today
1:12.4	named Ray Jordan and Ray works as a therapist and a lot of her clientele are women who are coming
1:18.1	out of the adult dancing industry as she calls it have been an adult film type activities
1:23.9	and she is working with the women who have been impacted by the other side of the
1:28.4	screen. So Ashley, give us a little bit of your thoughts on our conversation with Ray today.
1:34.3	I am excited about this episode, even though it is a more sensitive topic because at Pure
1:40.4	Desire, I love that we're willing to enter the territories and talk about the things
1:44.6	that not a lot of people are talking about. Somewhere in my life, I've intersected with a lot of
1:50.8	the things we deal with at Pure Desire, including this subject. And I think it's important for Christians
1:56.5	to have a safe place to be able to hear real conversations. And so I am very excited to be able to offer
2:04.1	that today to our listeners. Yeah, and I think for anyone listening, what this does is it just kind
