The Erotic Mind of David Lawrence – Podcast #221 – 07/26/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

I have fantastic show in store for you today; it happens to be another twofer. My guest is so talented and his interests so diverse that he rightly falls into both The Erotic Mind and the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series. I love when that happens.  I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a legend, David Lawrence.

I happen to know a number of very talented riggers, some of them have appeared on this show. And I know even more outstanding photographers; and a lot of them have appeared on this show too. But David is both. He has mastered photography and Shibari, the Art of Japanese Rope Bondage. And that, my friends, takes a huge amount of dedication!

David and I discuss:

  • His 30 years of professional photography work.
  • The appearance of erotic themes in his art.
  • Getting his start with Shibari.
  • Rigging all his own shoots.
  • The similarities and differences between the two art forms.
  • It’s all about passion.
  • What comes first — the bondage scene or the photographic concept.
  • His newest endeavor — Men BOUND.
  • Culturally induced responses to an image of a bound woman and a bound man.

Enjoy some of David’s stunning images below.

SEX WISDOM with Mistress Matisse – Podcast #215 – 06/30/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today is the last day of my special Pride month spectacular. I promised you at the beginning of the month we’d have a kick-ass line up of guests and I kept that promise. We started off with a visit to the lair of the Queen of Kink Couture, Tonya Winter. Then we chatted with the exquisitely edgy photographer, Boots Bryant. Then the brilliant songsters, John & Cass, aka The Wet Spots, thrilled us with their sexy music. And now I have the pleasure of welcoming… the one and only, Mistress Matisse. I mean, holy cow; where else can you find such diverse and entertaining programming?

It’s true, my favorite sex columnist, blogger and podcaster, the internationally acclaimed Pro-Dom, Mistress Matisse, is in the house. She’s here as part of the SEX WISDOM podcast series, don’t cha know. This is the series where we chat with researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are making news and reshaping how we look at our sexual selves.

Matisse has someone special with her today, who she will introduce in a moment. But first one word of caution; you may hear some whining and whimpering in the background of today’s program. Those sound effects are provided by my dog, Ginger. I tell you this because I don’t want you to get the wrong idea and think that was me! Although god knows, the incredibly sexy and oh so entertaining Mistress Matisse makes even me, a big fat homo, weak in the knees.

Matisse and I discuss:

  • The Pacific Northwest as a hotbed of perversion.
  • Her frank and no-hold-bared style of sex talk.
  • Becoming Mistress Matisse.
  • Class structures and sex work.
  • The Politics of Blowjobs.
  • If it’s not one thing, It’s your mother.
  • Bridging Pleasure and Danger.
  • Cisgender, transgender and the dangers of binary thinking.

Matisse invites you to enter her world and visit her on one or all of her websites HERE or HERE !

See Matisse & friends at work and play.

The Erotic Mind of Boots Bryant – Podcast #210 – 06/07/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We continue our special Pride Month guest star extravaganza today. I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a true original in the world of erotic photography, Kevin Johnson, aka Boots Bryant.

Boots is here as part of The Erotic Mind podcast series. In our 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 very graphic, others are subtlety suggestive. But all reflect the irrepressible spirit of the human sexual experience.

Boots is first and foremost a photographer, but he is also an erotic author. He shoots mainstream fashion stuff as well as his edgier stuff. But whatever he shoots you can be sure that it will pulse with enormous sexual energy. His photography can be both exquisitely beautiful and stunningly disturbing. And often his images are both of these things at the same time.

Boots and I discuss:

  • His nom de smut — Boots Bryant
  • The Mask Series.
  • His commissioned gigs.
  • The three new series he’s working on.
  • His unsettling early life.
  • Taking up photography as a kid.
  • How he began to shoot nudes.
  • Finding his models.
  • His music hobby.

See some of Boots’ stunning images below.

And you should also know that you’re getting a double bang for your buck today, because Tonya is another twofer. She is here as part of the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series as well as The Erotic Mind series. So yeah for that!

  • What accounts for her remarkable success.
  • Her unique designs.
  • Her humble kinky beginnings.
  • Her commitment to community service.
