Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Madison Young, recorded June 11, 2019 in Portland, Oregon.
Madison Young is an erotic artist, filmmaker, and performer. She entered the world of erotic filmmaking first as a performer in 2002 and later started directing films in 2005.
She is a noted expert on sex, BDSM, and sexual power dynamics.
Madison has taught workshops, given lectures, and acted as a panelist on the topics of sexuality, feminist porn studies, and the politics of BDSM at institutions such as Yale University, UC Berkeley, and the Berlin Porn Film Festival.
She is the founder of the Erotic Film School, a three-day erotic filmmaking training program held in San Francisco, CA, that introduces students to the pre-production, production, and post-production process of making erotic film.
She is also the founder of the now-closed Femina Potens Art Gallery, a nonprofit art gallery and performance space in San Francisco that served the LGBTQ and Kink communities.
Along with Moorea Malatt, she hosts the podcast, Wash Your Mouth Out.
Madison published her memoir Daddy in 2014.
In this interview we talk about Madison’s life as a sex worker, being a bondage model, transitioning to director, the body as an artistic medium, creating a queer performance space in San Francisco, our fandom of Annie Sprinkle, black box theaters, and the importance of being a pleasure activist.
