This new method of redefining the boundaries of porn by prioritizing sexual well-being, female pleasure and inclusive representation.
Drawing from her own personal experiences of growing up in a sex cult and the unrealistic portrayals of sex in mainstream media, Winter’s mission with Holistic Pornography is clear: to educate, empower and promote sexual health.
“A lot of mainstream porn perpetuates harmful stereotypes and unrealistic expectations," says Winter. "But when we center consent, autonomy, and genuine pleasure, we’re creating more than just entertainment. We’re offering a valuable tool for sexual education.
Holistic Pornography is an approach to creating sexual content that takes into account a broader context, such as the emotional, psychological, social and relational aspects of human sexuality, rather than solely focusing on explicit imagery. It refers to a more thoughtful approach to the production and consumption of sexual content that considers the well-being of the individual and society at large.
Winter believes Holistic Pornography can serve as a model for ethical adult content by integrating mindfulness, realistic body representations and authentic sexual interactions. Her films, such as The Art of Pleasing an AFAB Person and Jada, reflect these principles by addressing body image issues and promoting mindful, present sexual experiences, as well as a guided mindfulness masturbation from the film Mindful Pleasure.
"Sexual health is fundamental to overall well-being, and like all media, porn has the power to influence your psychological well-being, and we can make use of that in a positive way,” adds Winter. “In contrast to what I saw growing up, I want to contribute to providing people with not just authentic sexual pleasure but also the tools to realize that pleasure.”
