Dale is an erotic author and editor who works with an array of very talented graphic artists.  Together they produce an acclaimed line of gay oriented sexually explicit comics. Their collaborations, published by the distinguished German publisher, Bruno Gmuender, result in a celebration of joyful and playful lust. In fact, the comics are so well done; they convey their storyline without using any words.  No mean feat that, I can tell ya!

       

Dale and I discuss:

  • The workshop he will be leading at Seattle Erotic Art’s Festival.
  • What his role as writer/editor entails, and how he works with his illustrators.
  • How he imbues his sexy creations with a sense of the playful.
  • The basic rules of the comic narrative.
  • The beauty of wordless comics.

Today’s Podcast is bought to you by: DR DICK’S HOW TO VIDEO LIBRARY.

Hey sex fans,

We’re back with my guest, Max, the Seattle-based bondage artist, educator and Dom.  This is Part 2 our chat in this podcast series called Sex EDGE-U-cation.   As you know, this series is all about the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles.

max-picMax and I will be exploring all sorts of interesting topics; not least among them is his polyamorous life with Mistress Matisse and the oh so charming Lorelei.

If you somehow missed Part 1 of our conversation, look for last week’s podcast, #113 on the PODCAST PAGE at the top of this page.  Or simply use the site’s search function.  Type in podcast #113; don’t forget to include the # sign.

Just a quick aside…as most of you know I was one of the many presenters at the Seattle Fetish & Fantasy Festival this past weekend.  When I wasn’t teaching I had an opportunity to sit in on a couple of the other fine workshops offered by some of the Northwest’s most illustrious kink educators.  And I’m here to tell you, as delightful and informative and Max is in this podcast conversation, this medium does not compare to Max in front of a live audience with a length of rope in one hand and beautiful Lorelei in the other.  They are phenomenal together, and not to be missed.

 

Max and I discuss:

  • The role of endorphins and adrenaline in power play.
  • BDSM as both recreation and catharsis.
  • Polyamory, a working definition.
  • Poly-fidelity and cohabitation.
  • Developing a vocabulary for discussing poly structures.
  • Managing a poly relationship — jealousy and compersion.

The Erotic Mind of Benoît Prévot — Podcast #109 — 03/23/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today, I have yet another installment in my series of interviews called The Erotic Mind.  You’ll notice right away that there’s a distinctly international flair to this week’s podcast.  Why?  Because I have the good fortune of introducing you to an up and coming erotic artist, who joins us from his home in Paris, France, don’t cha know.  His name is Benoît Prévot.

moiThis all started some weeks ago when I was aimlessly poking around some of my favorite websites.  One site in particular, the beautiful and thoughtful Fairview (A site, I might add, that is a work of art all on its own.) is the loving creation of a fellow blogger, Sue.  It was on her handsome site that I first encountered this Parisian wonder.  When I happen upon Ben’s comic illustrations I knew for certain that I had to chat with him for this series.

If you are like me, and love smart, sexy erotic art with just a dash of humor, be sure to check out Benoît’s lusty drawings and illustrations as well as his insightful and informative blog on his site: site: benoitprevot.com.

I encourage you to ask him how you can purchase his original artwork.  Because I am of the mind that no serious collector of erotic art should be without a Prévot or two; that is if ya ask me.

Ben and I discuss:

• How he got his start as an artist; as an erotic artist.
• Where he finds his models.
• The difference between erotic and pornographic.
• How he imbues his artistic creations with life.
• Eroticizing the un-erotic.
• Advice for the novice erotic artist

Sex EDGE-U-cation with KinkedKenny – Podcast #108 – 03/18/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a true original in the world of erotic photography, Kenny Lee, a.k.a. KinkedKenny.  He is also an ardent practitioner of the lifestyle he so skillfully captures in his art.

kenny1Kenny is my third guest in this new series of podcast interviews I’m doing called Sex EDGE-U-cation.   We’re taking a look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles.  But Kenny is also my first 2-fer guest, because he comfortably straddles both The Erotic Mind podcast series, that I do on Mondays, and this series I’m doing on Wednesdays. So we will be picking his brain on both topics.

Kenny is first and foremost a photographer, but he is also a storyteller.  He shoots fashion as well as kink, but whatever he shoots you can be sure that it will push the envelope.  His photography can be both exquisitely beautiful and stunningly disturbing.  And often his images are both of these things at the same time.

Besides being a brilliant photographer, he is in his very own element when exploring the world of kink.  Like his photos, Kenny is “Raw, Dark, Twisted and Real”.

Kenny and I discuss:

  • The transition from fashion photographer to kink photographer — InkedKenny to KinkedKenny.
  • Working with real people in the lifestyle and capturing the chemistry between the players.
  • His agenda:  to shake his audience out of their complacently by engaging us in his work.

Hey sex fans,

I have an exceptionally delicious show in store for you today.  I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of the rising stars in the erotica firmament.  emerald_1Her name is Emerald.  (Don’t you just love how some folks get away with using only one name?  I gotta tell you that I tried that once myself.  I used refer to myself simply as — Dick.  Well, you can see right away how many problems there was with that moniker, huh?)

Anyway, the ever-charming and oh so smutty Emerald joins us as my latest guest in this series of interviews I’m doing with noted erotic artists called The Erotic Mind. As you know, we’ve been chatting with these ingenious people in hopes of uncovering something of the creative process involved with this specialized art form.

And as a special treat, Emerald will share with us a very delectable selection from the fruit of her Erotic Mind.   This will be of particular interest to the edgier folks in our audience.

To give you a little foretaste of what you are in for today, here’s Emerald writing about herself on her site:  “Emerald is an erotic fiction author and general advocate for human sexuality as informed by her deep appreciation of the beauty, value, and intrinsic nature of sexuality and its holistic relation to life.”

Emerald and I discuss:

• Her philosophy about human sexuality
• Her nom de plume, and why.
• Her writing career and how it began.
• Creating petite works of literary art, one word at a time.
• Being a sex worker and its impact on her writing.

Emerald serves up a juicy morsel of her own erotica.
