Fleshlight is the #1 selling male sex toy in the world. Looking for your next pocket pal? For the 209th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Leslie Lebowitz, a clinical psychologist specializing in psychological trauma, sexual exploitation, and violence. Leslie served as an expert witness in two civil suits brought against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis on behalf of underage girls who had been featured in his pornography. In this interview, she unpacks her takeaways from the lawsuits, including the coercion tactics used by the company, the psychological toll on the young women involved, the disturbing victim-blaming that occurred, and the cultural attitudes that allowed Girls Gone Wild to flourish with little accountability. We also discuss the fine line between empowerment and exploitation. Courtney shares her own behind-the-scenes experience working for Girls Gone Wild and its long-term impact, contrasting that world with today’s more self-directed platforms like. This interview was conducted as part of Courtney’s reporting for Canadaland episode #1160, Confessions of a Girls Gone Wild Merch Girl.
