Sex EDGE-U-cation with Voluptuous Lynn – Podcast #177 – 01/06/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We’re ready to rock and roll with a brand new year of podcasts in the Sex EDGE-U-cation series. As you know these programs take a look at the fascinating world of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles, fetish sex and kink.  We touch on topics both familiar and exotic.  And you can count on our investigations to be interesting, stimulating as well as very informative, because we chat with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates from all walks of life.

And to kick off this new year, I have something quite extraordinary for you.  Today, we feature the first woman of color to speak in this series. She is a sex worker.  She brings a refreshingly honest, unique and sassy voice to the ever-growing chorus of exceptional guests in this series. I am honored to welcome Voluptuous Lynn.

She describes herself as “An Ebony Cougar In Sin City,” but I think you will agree with me that she’s more akin to a tiger.  Her no nonsense approach to life, sexuality and sex work if truly refreshing, and she’s knock ‘em dead funny too. Oh, and you should know that today’s show is unusually long. Lynn and I got to shootin’ the shit and I completely lost track of time.

Lynn and I discuss:

  • Flying in the face of the culture’s notion of female beauty.
  • Leaving the vanilla world for sex work.
  • The life of this cam-girl and phone sex operator.
  • Being public about her work.
  • The impact of her sex work on her personal relationships.
  • Role playing with clients.
  • Advice for getting into sex work.
  • How she prepares herself, emotionally and physically for her job.

Lynn at work and play.

  • Her site Erotica Revealed.
  • The need for thoughtful criticism about the erotic in literature.
