236 - Creating Black Erotica with BlkTouch

In this week's episode, Boonie is joined by Brian Dwayne of BlkTouch. Brian discusses the creation of BlkTouch, explaining how it evolved from sensual photography to a separate space for explicit content that couldn't be posted on social media. The conversation touches on Brian's role in creating all the content and his efforts to be inclusive in terms of casting. Brian emphasizes the importance of representation for underrepresented groups, particularly Black women, in his work. He also distinguishes BlkTouch as a different space for artists rather than competing with platforms like OnlyFans, emphasizing the focus on ethical porn that prioritizes consent and well-being. In the final part of the conversation, Boonie and Brian discuss future projects, such as verbal dominance and further exploration of the glory hole concept. Boonie emphasizes the importance of execution and having an audience. They also address their focus on serving and resonating with the audience rather than chasing industry recognition. Brian even shares some of his favorite scenes and projects, along with upcoming additions to the website. The conversation concludes with a reminder to sign up for a subscription and explore the films, along with contact information for BlkTouch on various platforms.
