You gotta love Louis.
The latest episode of
Louis Theroux's Forbidden America takes a deep dive into the in the world of the porn, looking at the issue of consent and the #MeToo movement in the industry.
The episode also sees Louis explore how Only Fans and
social media have affected porn.
And even though the journalist is no stranger to exploring these subjects, he found himself learning a couple of new terms.
In a scene where professionals explain what they are about to do for a scene, mentioning that pegging will be involved.
Louis interrupts to ask: "Pegging is?"
"Pegging is a strapped on dildo on a harness for penetration," one person explains.
The camera then cuts to a deadpan Louis, while the others in the room laugh.
And what's funnier, when the porn stars had finished filming, Louis' narration takes us to the next scene by saying: "And with the pegging successfully concluded, there was a moment to talk."
Of course, fans were quick to share their reactions on Twitter.

“Louis looking nervous at the mention of pegging," another joked.

"@louistheroux is a deadpan genius. But this programme about #consent in porn is important and a real live issue."
The
synopsis for the show reads: "Travelling the length and breadth of the United States, Louis will meet an assortment of content creators who promote far-right views, self-destructive performers - and in some cases alleged predators - whose work involves them promoting and enacting the most risqué, immoral and illegal behaviour."
