In a candid and revealing chat, powerhouse performer and producer Rachel Steele dropped by ‘The Better Sex Podcast’ to spill the tea with host Deborah Kat, and it was a masterclass in honesty, evolution, and owning your truth. The episode, fittingly titled “Taboo to Truth: Inside the World of Adult Film with Rachel Steele,” peels back the curtain on a journey that’s as inspiring as it is spicy.
Steele didn’t hold back, opening up about how she stumbled into the adult industry and discovered a surprising new calling.
“I got into this industry quite by accident,” Steele shared. “But I found that I really enjoyed connecting with people through their secret little kink. It was rewarding—it felt like a service.”
From Secret Life to Center Stage
For years, Steele operated “under the radar,” navigating the complexities of her career while protecting her family life. But that chapter is officially closed. Her conversation with Kat highlighted a profound shift from secrecy to radical self-acceptance, a move that has unlocked a new level of creativity and personal liberation.
“Now I actually feel free,” she declared. “I can produce and be who I am, and I can be out there. I’m not closeted anymore.”
This newfound freedom isn’t just personal; it’s professional. Steele is channeling that energy into her own studio, Red MILF Productions, joining a growing wave of creators who are taking control of their content. In an industry seeing a massive shift towards creator-owned platforms and direct-to-fan engagement, Steele is carving out her own niche by prioritizing substance over formula.
Challenging the Norms with Story-Driven Spice
Tired of the same old rinse-and-repeat scenarios? So is Rachel Steele. Her mission is to elevate the viewing experience by making it more than just a visual treat.
“I try to pull away from those norms and create more of a storyline so the viewer can be more cerebrally stimulated than just visually,” she explained.
It’s a move that’s clearly resonating. Steele spoke about the incredible feedback she receives from fans who feel seen and validated by her work, proving that fantasy can be a powerful tool for connection and self-discovery.
“I still receive so many emails from people thanking me,” Steele said. “They thought something was wrong with them until they saw how many others shared the same desire.”
The episode also tackled the persistent stigma surrounding the industry. Both Steele and Kat emphasized the importance of creating shame-free spaces for erotic expression and dismantling public misconceptions. Steele wrapped with a powerful statement on the professionalism and integrity behind her work.
“We’re really legitimate and we’re filmmakers,” she affirmed. “We follow all the rules. We’re just trying to produce entertainment that fulfills fantasies without harming anyone.”
