Happy Spring to you my friends, readers and perverts <3

On heavy rubber and weirdness liberation

Other Kinds of Pleasures post On heavy rubber and weirdness liberation from patreon

Writing this felt like an early Christmas gift – for all these times when I shared a meaningless Monday dialogue with a colleague omitting the fact that I spend Sunday night washing a latex straight jacket. I love being a weirdo. Thank you for staying subscribed during this year - was definitely part of my personal life...

On latex monsters, the ravenous and the queer

Other Kinds of Pleasures post On latex monsters, the ravenous and the queer from patreon

Great memories of standing in the middle of Rose Easton trying to smell latex through the glass. The sexiest thing in this sculpture is a breathing tube sticking out to the side. Not many people noticed, but us? We did. Was a pleasure to talk to Jenkin van Zyl about latex inflatable and obscure online fetishes which are n...

Cream on Oyster, Charm a Snake: the new book celebrating masturbation

The London Vagabond is truly a gift to us all. Every time time I write about their work, it makes me think of the multitudes of ways we see sex through a cultural lens these days – which sides of it we celebrate, and which we...

On the gaze of a pervert

When I stood there naked, I felt powerful. There is definitely a correlation which exists for me: I always say, I’d gladly walk around topless if it was socially acceptable. It’s both about my intimate connection to my flesh –...

On latex: isolation and protection in the 21st century (Part 2)

What is beyond the look and the history of latex? Sliding into our shiny garments in the current moment in time, we get to ask the ever pressing questions: are we alone or together, are we restricted or free? The second part of journey to the core of the highly fetishised material.

On latex: aesthetic, substance and history (Part 1)

I wasn't born a fetishist. Or so I tell myself. Is anyone ever really? Or do we all get introduced to fetish by the consumer society or the expansive sexy horizons of the internet?  The moment I first put a latex catsuit on has changed my life forever. Once it's tightly clung to my body, this memory will be with me f...

On all things golden

Other Kinds of Pleasures post On all things golden  from patreon

Golden showers as a subject of contemporary art. Piss as a way to narrate queer history. Watersports as the deepest expression of intimacy. 

This project is over a year old now! I remember that in the beginning I was a little worried, thinking how would I manage to bring myself into something which is ...

Playing with grief and anger: interview with International Dominatrix Eva Oh

First of all, I would like to thank you for still staying subscribed during the last month. It means a lot to me. This is a space where I write for pleasure – and having someone to talk to in this space feels good on many levels. Now I have to type that again, the strange beginning of the sentence: since the war started...

On being a sadist

Thank you for sticking around this month as it took me longer that usual to gather my sexy thoughts (covid among the reasons)<3 Today's essay is on one of my favourite things – being sadistic. I tried to reflect what it's like beyond the guilt-inducing preconceptions. I also wrote about art, empathy, needles, my shad...

On kink and intimacy

“Have I always been like this - or have I just happened to meet the right person?” We all contemplate this question from time to time: which of our desires are authentically ours and which are invoked by other people?  My latest essay looks at how much agency we have in the very beautiful yet seemingly unpredicta...

Latex & Red

Other Kinds of Pleasures post Latex & Red  from patreon

Last week was the first time in ages I dressed up in latex just for myself. It felt like coming back to my deepest most sincere essence of being a perv. But then, once a perv always a perv. It's a pleasure to have access to something so sensory and lush.
