On this episode I speak with Lauren, an artist who crafts leatherwear, performs burlesque, is involved with the burning man community, and navigates the sometimes murky waters of poly, kink, and BDSM.
Lauren talk to us about her work, what she enjoys most about creating, both in her workshop and on stage, and how her artistic life intersects with the sex positive communities. She examines the sometimes unpleasant aspects of navigating poly, kink, and BDSM, and opens up about how poor consent and dangerous practices in these communities can turn people away and make them hesitant to participate and to feel safe enjoying play.
