Inka Winter is ELEVATE’s November 2022 Community Partner

ELEVATE is an initiative that recognizes members and allies of the adult industry working to positively impact their community through advocacy, direct support, and/or creative initiatives. Each month, ELEVATE spotlights a different Community Partner featured on social media to bring awareness to their causes and their work within their community.

Inka Winter is an LA-based costume designer and lifelong artist who temporarily lost her sex drive in her thirties and looked to adult content to reignite it. Turned off by objectifying and degrading images, Inka wanted sensual and sexy porn that showed women enjoying sex for their pleasure. So, she started ForPlay Films and made her own content to help herself and other women feel sexually empowered. The independent, award-winning, all-woman production company creates erotic short films through a feminist gaze and brings their pleasure and fantasies front and center. Both real-life couples and professional adult performers star in films that focus on chemistry, consent, and women’s sexual autonomy. ForPlay Films also produces Sexucation, a series of short videos that use humor to educate women and men on all-things sex.

“I am very excited about this partnership. Coming from an angle of sex education and sensuality coaching, with this partnership, we are trying something different on the Streamate platform. I am looking forward to seeing how it will be received,” says Inka Winter.

Besides being promoted on ELEVATE’s social media (@beyondsexwork on Twitter and Instagram), Inka made her live streaming debut on Streamate on Friday, November 11^th. “How to Please the Vagina” was seen at InkaWinter.cammodels.com and featured Inka and special guests Megan Mistakes and Jasmine Teaa answering viewer questions, offering educational insights, and delivering some sexy surprises.

“The Elevate team is really thrilled to be working with Inka! We’re inspired by Inka’s unwavering determination to shake up the protocol around sexual imagery, which is often catered solely toward masculine leaning audiences. Inka and her all-woman crew are fearlessly paving the way for future creators who wish to offer alternative views of sex and intimacy from a feminine perspective, richly layered with all of the subtle nuances that strike deep into viewers’ pleasure centers. The fact that Inka prioritizes ethical practices throughout the production process, should be something that we continue to normalize as an industry,” says Streamate Director of Community Relations and Elevate Creator Vanessa Eve.
