The MakeLoveNotPorn Story with Founder Cindy Gallop | Ep. 89, Part 2 - Video

No one teaches us about our sexual values—how to navigate desire, communicate needs, or behave well in bed. Schools won’t cover it. Parents often avoid it. And mainstream porn? It feeds us a script full of performance, not intimacy. So how are we supposed to learn what good sex—respectful, connected, pleasurable sex—actually looks like?

In this episode, I continue my conversation with @cindygallop5910, the founder of MakeLoveNotPorn, to challenge everything we’ve been taught about sex, desire, and communication. Unlike traditional porn, Cindy’s platform showcases real intimacy—unedited, unscripted, and rooted in consent, respect, and connection.

Cindy dives deeper into how MakeLoveNotPorn differs from OnlyFans, the unique challenges they face—especially the uphill battle of advertising bans on social media—and the groundbreaking Wefunder equity crowdfunding campaign. She’s calling on all of us to join, subscribe, and help rewrite the script on how we learn about sex.

So why does something so authentic still make people uncomfortable? Why is open conversation about sex considered more taboo than unrealistic, performative fantasies? Cindy and I unpack these questions, dive into the challenges of pushing back against societal norms, and explore how changing the way we talk about sex can completely transform the way we experience it.

And if you missed Part 1? You need to go back and listen—because this conversation is too powerful to only hear half the story.

It’s time to step into a world where sex is shame-free, open, and truly fulfilling.
