In this special conversation, Scolaro joins Nina Hartley — actress, director, registered nurse, author, and one of the most influential voices in the history of adult entertainment — for a dialogue that goes far beyond the clichés of pornography.
Together, they retrace her unique journey: from growing up in a progressive family of Buddhist intellectuals, to her early years as a nurse, to becoming a pioneer in an industry that was still almost entirely dominated by men when she began in the 1980s. Nina reflects on how care, empathy, and desire can coexist, how she built an authentic erotic identity in front of the camera, and why she has always seen her body as a teaching tool.
The conversation dives into the intersections of sex, politics, and education: erotic feminism, the empowerment (and risks) of platforms like OnlyFans, the persistent myths society spreads about sex, and the urgent need for a new model of sex education. Along the way, she shares personal insights about her career, her activism, and her enduring mission to make sexuality something deeply human, intelligent, and transformative.
What emerges is not a traditional Q&A, but a dialogue between equals: Scolaro and Nina Hartley exchange stories, challenge cultural taboos, and reflect on what remains at the core of freedom and intimacy today.
