Candice Horbacz

Philanthropist, podcast host, former adult film star.

There are few commentators with Candice’s background. Under the pseudonym Eva Lovia, Candice entered the world of porn in 2011, becoming one of the medium’s most widely viewed performers. Upon exiting the industry, she entered the world of political commentary, establishing herself as a one-of-a-kind voice in the centre-right space. Today, she hosts the Chatting With Candice podcast, welcoming authors, athletes, comedians, adult entertainment figures, crypto advocates, and other dissident thinkers to share and discuss their views.

Why did we invite her on?

Last time we had Candice on the show, she spoke candidly about her experience in porn and whether she felt the industry had exploited her. It was a poignant, fascinating look into a difficult subject. This time, we wanted to widen the scope: do we have the right attitude to sex? We live in a world of extremes, and that heuristic has extended its tentacles into the world of sex: do you want shame-based purity culture or nihilist self-indulgence? To see if a healthy medium is possible, we wanted to hear from someone who understands both.

So what did we learn?

”I have been a proponent of raising the age [of participation in adult entertainment] to 25. I don’t think you can understand the consequences - it’s going to affect every aspect of your life. It’s something you can’t wash away. You don’t understand the value of money, and the chances of you [becoming wealthy] are almost none - you’re better off playing the Powerball.”
