This episode features the iconoclastic fashion designer, Luis De Javier. Working at the intersection of queer, rave and sex culture, De Javier is a relative newcomer to the fashion scene who has made a splash with his sexy, provocative designs and major celebrity appeal. We discuss his recent activations with Pornhub - including his NYFW show (which Asa walked in!) and being designer of the year for the 5th Annual Pornhub Awards, as well as what it means to be seen as hypersexual, the struggle with imposter syndrome and whether or not a gender-free future is on the horizon. Terms of Service is a Pornhub podcast on censorship and the politics of free speech co-hosted by Asa Akira, a Pornhub brand ambassador and renowned performer, and Alex Kekesi, Pornhub’s Head of Brand and Community. With guests from the arts, film and fashion alongside sex work advocates, porn stars and academics, Terms of Service discusses the diverse, and often overlooked, aspects of censorship including deplatforming, cancellation, and shadowbanning, banking and financial discrimination, and the uneven treatment of adult performers on social media.
