Porn4PrEP had its own room: a portal into being a newbie to the porn industry. We had three performers: Jason Domino as a porn actor experiencing electro play, Tegwyn teaching guests how to use tools like the violet wand, and Jason Moon filming and directing the ‘scene’.

During our exhibit, guests had a conversation with the performers about what it’s like to start off in the porn industry. The focus was on sexual health and protection, allowing guests to learn in an experiential format. At the end of the performance, guests were sent to the next room of the house and told to ‘prepare for their own scene’.
When initially asked by Love Matters, it struck us as sex through the lens of poetry and art, rather than the reality that people experience. We suggested running an explicit scene to keep the focus on sex, but the original venue took issue with the idea. This shows that censorship can obstruct transparent conversation about sex, even in an exhibition dedicated to the topic. Love Matters found a new venue, and changed the scene to electro play, allowing guests to be more involved without the need to show something as explicit.

On 22nd October, the team from Porn4PrEP ran a series of workshops as part of the Brighton Sexpression Conference.
Workshops had around 20 participants from a wide-ranging backgrounds. The structure of the workshop was for participants to pretend that they were new recruits to the world of adult film. Sexual health, the adult film industry and personal lives were then explored in an experiential way to teach the topic at hand. Students had to regularly participate in group activities and role play scenarios.

Feedback from Sexpression was very positive and workshops were overbooked. A lot was learned by Porn4PrEP too: successfully translating lessons into a workshop required planning and presentation skills. Jason from the team then spoke at a PrEP open-panel debate at the larger conference.
