The Erotic Mind of Krysztof Nemeth — Podcast #139 — 07/20/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

So ya know how I keep telling you that The Erotic Mind
podcast series brings you the celebrated erotic artwork from of artists all over the world, right?  Well then, today we go pretty far a field indeed.  We travel to the deepest, darkest recess of…Kansas to bring you the exceptionally talented Krysztof Nemeth.

krysztof_1You recall the immortal words of Jessica Rabbit, right?  “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.”  We have Krysztof and his ilk to thank for that.  You see he follows in the long and honored tradition of artists who produce Pin-up art.  This art form is so pervasive and universally recognizable that, for many of us, it was our very first introduction to world of erotica of any sort.

Throughout this series of conversations with noted erotic artists we’ve uncovered quite a bit about the creative process involved in this specialized art form.  We’ve visited with numerous artists who create their art in a variety of media.  We’ve discovered that the term “erotic art” covers a vast array of visual and literary expressions.  Some are overtly graphic; others, like Krysztof’s, are subtlety suggestive.  But all reflect the irrepressible spirit of the human sexual experience.

Krysztof and I discuss:

  • The long and honored tradition of Pin-up art.
  • His idealized yet attainable depictions of women.
  • How he got his start as an artist, as an erotic artist.
  • Where he finds his models
  • The distinction, if any, between an artist and an illustrator.

Sex EDGE-U-cation with Debra Christina Darling – Podcast #135 – 07/01/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Debra & KarenAnd now for something completely different.  Ya’ll know how through this Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series, we’ve been looking at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles, right?  And how we’ve been chatting with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world, right?

Well then, today we take another walk on the wild side.  I bring you Part 1 of my conversation with a true original.  My guest is the one and only Debra Christina Darling.

Debra self-identifies as a straight drag queen.  That’s right you heard me; he’s a straight man who crossdresses, and has done so for most of his life.  But what’s so special about that?  Lots of straight men crossdress.  This is true!  But few are as “out there” and as willing to challenge some of the popular notions of sex and gender held by both those inside, and outside, the crossdressing community.  I can assure you sex fans, Debra has balls and the attitude to match; thus the drag queen designation, don’t cha know.

You won’t want to miss a minute of this exceptional discussion!

Debra and I discuss:

  • Crossdressing vs. transvestism.
  • Her own personal journey and her activism.
  • Famous crossdressers in history.
  • Reasons why people crossdress, and the challenges.
  • The sexual charge of gender specific clothing.
  • Common myths of crossdressing.
  • Advice for parents of crossdressing kids.
  • Male crossdressing / female crossdressing, the double standard.

Debra shares with us several crossdressing resources and invites you to check them out.  The Esprit Conference, Karen Williams’ site, The Emerald City and The Ingersoll Center.
