Humor as a Gateway to Serious Topics
The format of The Books of Knjige allows difficult topics to be opened through humor, irony, and culture. In such an environment, Sedevčič speaks about the reality of working in the adult industry – without self-censorship, but also without sensationalism. The conversation moves between personal experiences, production behind-the-scenes, and questions of societal attitudes towards sex work.
The Adult Industry as Work
The central message of the appearance is clear: the adult industry is a work environment, not a myth. The discussion touches on stigma, the lack of regulation, and the paradox of societies that accept consumption but condemn the work. Sedevčič emphasizes the importance of self-organization, information, and safety – themes that Dobra Družba places at the forefront of its activities.
Regional Context and Open Dialogue
The show addresses the wider area of the former Yugoslavia, where topics of sexuality are often pushed into the gray zone of public discourse. That is why the guest appearance is important: it shows that it is possible to talk about the adult industry in a mature, witty, and responsible manner, without preaching or demonization.
