Adult Star and Humorist Jupiter’s Slut to Speak at Catalyst Con Los Angeles

Los Angeles, CA - Adult star and humorist Jupiter’s Slut is heading to Los Angeles this week to speak at sex-positive conference, Catalyst Con Los Angeles.

“I’m thrilled and honored to be talking at CatalystCon. All women are safer when no women are shamed for their sexuality,” said Jupiter’s Slut. “Women are not only shamed for liking sex, they are also shamed for not wanting it. ‘Slut' and ‘frigid’ are both used to criticize women. Not wanting to be sexualized is valid too. That’s what one of my panels is about, legitimizing for platonic touch needs.”

Jupiter’s Slut will be speaking on two panels during Catalyst Con, De-Centering Arousal & Sex: The Platonic Touch Takeover and Super Sluts: Personal Narratives of Reclamation.

“I was still a virgin when I started thinking of myself as a slut,” she added. “Just knowing how much I loved making out was enough to get me thinking of myself as ‘The Virgin Slut.’ I liked to be touched sexually, and I knew that was bad. It took until my mid-thirties, to start clawing my way out from under all that shame and repression.”

“I dubbed myself 'Jupiter's Slut’ because Jupiter is a planet associated with expansion and growth," she explained. “And that's what I've done, I've become entitled to my own sexuality. Reclaiming the pejorative 'slut' is an act of heroism. That's why I think of myself as a Super Slut. I’m not the only slut out there doing amazing things to change the world. That’s why I organized a panel discussion at CatalystCon with a few other sluts to explore the wonders and vagaries of being a Super Slut.”  

For Super Sluts: Personal Narratives of Reclamation, Jupiter’s Slut will be joined by Jack HammerXL and Lola. See a full description of this session here.  

For De-Centering Arousal & Sex: The Platonic Touch Takeover, she will be speaking on a panel with Fei Wyatt and Janet Trevino. See a full description of this session here.

Porn Tasting 101: Consumption for the Curious

Watching porn is often a solo activity reserved for a dark room with the door closed. We immediately clear our browser histories afterward, but why?  

Together Marriage and Family Therapist Traci Medeiros-Bagan and adult industry veteran Kristel Penn offer a unique framework for viewing and enjoying porn.  Like developing a nose for fine wine, they believe that a little practice and knowledge can help create a decadent menu of shame-free desire designed specifically for you!

To begin, we’ll cleanse our palates of shame, stigma, and misinformed beliefs around the adult industry.  We’ll whet our appetites for knowledge with an excerpt from Lilith Luxe’s award-winning documentary series, Real Fucking Doc, featuring the cast of “Real Fucking Girls” and its director Mona Wales. Luxe’s piece highlights the voices of the performers and producers and discusses their dedication to the creation of high-quality ethical porn, porn’s place in culture, and its ability to inform it. At the end of this beginner’s tasting course, you’ll learn a bit about the adult industry, what varieties of porn might be a good fit for you and why, and how to feel good as a conscious consumer.

So, cum one, cum all! This is for educators, providers, and anyone who wants to learn ways to create an open and shame-free dialogue (with others or yourself) around porn.

Penn and Medeiros-Bagan will be speaking on Sunday from 11:30am-12:40 pm in the Scottsdale room at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel. For more information on Catalyst Con, visit CatalystCon.com.
