Hey sex fans,

I have something truly extraordinary in store for you.  As you know this Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series takes a look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative lifestyles. We touch on topics both familiar and exotic.  And I chat with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world.

Well then, today, we add yet another unique voice to this growing chorus.  I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to my special guest, the beautiful, talented and oh so smart, Sophie Hirschfeld.  She is a plus-sized model, a stripper, a camgirl, a phone sex actress and a writer.  But I think she’s best described as a philosopher of sex.  Oh, I should also mention that she is absolutely hilarious too.

We will be talking about her career as a sex worker, as an activist and as an educator.  You don’t want to miss a moment of this, sex fans!

Sophie and I discuss:

  • Where sex and science collide.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld and Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette.
  • Being an erotic entertainer.
  • Which is the oldest profession?
  • Getting into the sex industry.
  • Economic considerations of sex work.
  • Sex work on the front lines of sex education.
  • Her sex work and her intimate relationships.
  • The power of dirty words.

The Erotic Mind of Howard Cruse — Podcast #156 — 09/28/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

howardcruse2I have a spectacular interview for you.  I welcome the granddaddy of gay comix, Howard Cruse.  He is here as part of The Erotic Mind
 podcast series.  As you know, for well over a year now I’ve been chatting with noted erotic artists, both visual and literary, from all over the freakin world in an effort to try to uncover something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form.  Howard is the most senior person to join me in this effort.  And he brings with him a historical perspective unlike that of any other of my previous guests.

In fact, I think it is safe to say that very gay or lesbian who has put pen to paper to create a comix or cartoon over the last 40 years can trace his or her lineage back to the groundbreaking work of my guest.  This is remarkable stuff, kids; you don’t want to miss a moment of this.

Howard and I discuss:

  • His erotic novel, Stuck Rubber Baby.
  • Why he’s know as a bigfoot cartoonist.
  • Adding words to his illustrations.
  • Why he contends his work is not erotic per se.
  • From Headrack to Claude.
  • The evolution of the character, Headrack. in Barefootz.
  • The man behind Claude of Then There Was Claude.
  • Being there — The Stonewall Inn, June 1969.
  • His personal coming out story.

Sex EDGE-U-cation with Claire Adams — Podcast #153 — 09/16/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

As I mentioned at the beginning of Monday’s podcast, over the next two weeks, and on both Mondays and Wednesdays, I will be featuring two absolutely amazing women in my podcasts.  Both of these very talented women are taking a lead role in helping change our society’s perception of female sexuality and the gift of physical beauty.  And each is doing it from what might, at first glance, appear to be the polar opposite of the other.  But I believe appearances can be deceiving.

MsAdamsBioOn Monday I introduced you to the ultimate photographer of the female nude, Leanne Bell, as part of The Erotic Mind series.  Today, as part of my Sex EDGE-U-cation series, I have the pleasure of welcoming the internationally renowned teacher, BDSM advocate and on camera performer, Pro-Dom, pro-sub, bondage master, and video director, Claire Adams.  She’s here to share something of her amazing life with us.

Both of my guests are extraordinarily passionate women who are completely immersed in their work.  And their fervor is infused by a philosophy of empowerment and the beauty of women as full-fledged sexual beings.  These podcasts are not to be missed!

Claire and I discuss:

  • Her real life as a rope bottom, submissive and slave.
  • ClaireBondage.com — a unique mix of porn and BDSM.
  • Bondage games and predicament bondage.
  • Being a collared sub,
  • RACK — Risk Aware Consensual Kink.
  • Claire the contortionist.
  • How se began her life in kink.
  • Damon & Claire, purveyors of high quality rope kits.
  • Her life as a Pro-Dom and her ability to switch between Dom and sub roles.

The Erotic Mind of Leanne Bell — Podcast #152 — 09/14/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

helen_green_0027_sampleOver the next two weeks, and in both of my podcast series on Mondays and Wednesdays, I will be featuring two absolutely amazing women.  Both of these very talented women are taking a lead role in helping change our society’s perception of female sexuality and the gift of physical beauty.  And each is doing it from what might, at first glance, appear to be the polar opposite of the other.  I love my work!  You’ll just have to tune in on both days to see what I mean.

Today I have the honor of introducing you to an exquisite photographer from Ontario Canada.  We scrutinize The Erotic Mind of Leanne Bell.  She, along with her equally talented husband, Dwayne, takes the photography of women to a new level of simplicity and sophistication.  They unabashedly celebrate female physical beauty in the most extraordinary and riveting way.  It’s as if they dress their models in nudity.  You won’t want to miss a moment of this intriguing conversation.

Leanne and I discuss:

  • Her photography being both eye candy and mind candy.
  • The apparent contradiction of nudity and moral values.
  • The art of poising her models in everyday situations.
  • Nudity as an organic part of the photograph.
  • Cultural opposition to celebrating female physical beauty.
  • The gift of beauty and how it is often denigrated.

And for more of Leanne’s thoughts and vision, I encourage you to visit her website HERE.
