Jesus Christ Porn Star: Healing Sexual Shame Through Spiritual Erotic Art | Shoshanna Blanca
The Intimacy InquiryShow Notes
What happens when a feminist writer, therapist, and sex educator takes an ibogaine trip and emerges with a calling to bridge the sacred and the sensual? Shoshanna Blanca joins Andrew Phipps on The Intimacy Inquiry to share the story behind Jesus Christ Porn Star, a spiritual erotic performance art project on OnlyFans that blends singing, prayer, worship, vlogging, and explicit imagery to challenge the religiously rooted sexual shame that has shaped Western culture for centuries. Shoshanna traces the journey from her first psychedelic encounter with Jesus in 2021, through her research into feminist biblical scholarship, to the creation of projects including Church in Bed, Coming to God, Uncovering Eve, and The Second Cumming. Her latest book, Eve's Blessing: Uncovering the Lost Pleasure Behind Female Pain, reinterprets the story of Adam and Eve, arguing that the curses of Genesis were not divine punishments but prophetic descriptions of patriarchy and capitalism, already redeemed by the crucifixion and waiting to be claimed. In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, Andrew and Shoshanna explore the philosophical and theological case for treating the body as a sacred portal to the divine, the difference between spiritual erotic performance art and conventional pornography, the ethics of the sex work industry, and why so many content creators and performers also hold deep spiritual lives. They discuss the virgin/whore dichotomy, the outdated laws governing the therapy profession, the politics of psychedelic prohibition, and Shoshanna's belief that the Rapture is already unfolding online through cancel culture and collective awakening. Shoshanna also shares her vision of the Second Coming: not a single figure descending from the sky, but a collective awakening led by women reclaiming spiritual authority and embodying Christ consciousness through non-judgment, unconditional love, and body acceptance. And she outlines her most ambitious project yet: staging the Rapture on Pornhub as a space for radical emotional honesty and conflict resolution. Thought-provoking, theologically curious, and genuinely unlike anything else in your podcast feed. This episode contains mature themes and explicit discussion of sexuality and adult content creation. Intended for adult listeners.

Shoshanna Blanca, also known as Jesus Christ Pornstar, returns for a deeper conversation. She now describes herself as one of several Messiahs and talks about moving between several identities, including what she describes as a past life as Mary Magdalene. She and Andrew talk about the psychedelic ceremonies that she says first revealed this material to her, why she believes organised religion became "sex negative," reclaiming words like "whore" and "slut," and a pattern she describes in highly sensitive people she calls "sons and daughters of God." They also discuss body image, small acts of everyday kindness as a spiritual practice, and what she means by "Christ consciousness" in ordinary human relationships. This episode discusses extensive psychedelic drug use, explicit sexuality, and religious and messianic beliefs candidly and is intended for a mature audience.

Olivia and Andrew talk about the sexual shame she carried from a Roman Catholic upbringing and years of people-pleasing, the breathwork experience that changed how she understood her own sexuality, and why presence, not technique, is what actually creates connection. They also cover ongoing consent, where porn helps and where it distorts expectations, and the sexual trauma so many women carry for decades before ever naming it. This episode discusses sexuality, shame, consent and sexual trauma candidly and is intended for a mature audience.

Professional dominatrix Porcelain Victoria, who hosts the podcast Behind the Paddle and runs her own dungeon in Scotland, joins Andrew Phipps for a frank conversation about a decade in kink. She talks about discovering BDSM as a self-taught teenager, the accidental booking that turned her into a professional dominant, and why she found the same relief in consensual spanking that she once found in self-harm. The conversation covers aftercare, the emotional demands of the job, what clients are really looking for when they hand over control, and a detailed, sobering look at UK sex work law and the case against the Nordic model. Warm, unflinching and genuinely educational. Guest: Porcelain Victoria, Behind the Paddle podcast. https://porcelaindolly.co.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/@BehindthePaddle/videos Host: Andrew Phipps.
Certified sexologist and sex coach Jenn Mason, founder of the inclusive Bellingham sex shop Wink Wink and an elected member of the Bellingham School Board, joins Andrew Phipps to talk about pleasure after trauma, the sex education most of us never got, and why she believes a solo pleasure practice matters as much as a partnered one. The conversation ranges from the impossible gap between a puritanical culture and unlimited online pornography, through desire in long, logistics heavy relationships, to the sex education gap in midlife and beyond. Honest, funny and genuinely useful. Guest: Jenn Mason, Wink Wink, Bellingham, Washington. https://www.heyjennmason.com/ https://winkwinkboutique.com/ Host: Andrew Phipps.
Dr Lori Davis, a Doctor of Nursing Practice, AASECT certified sex counsellor and Relational Life Therapy coach, joins Andrew Phipps to unpack why she's banned the word "sex" from her own practice, and why what most couples call "mismatched desire" is better understood as a desire bind, a shared dynamic rather than one partner's fault. The conversation ranges across menopause and hormone therapy, the somatic roots of shame and desire, pornography's "fast food" effect, and whether monogamy is really the natural default it's assumed to be. Honest, warm and genuinely practical. Guest: Dr Lori Davis, sex counsellor and relational therapy coach. https://dr-loridavis.com/ Host: Andrew Phipps. https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-phipps-ap/
