Adrian is a founding member of the core team at Kinky Salon Berlin. He's one of those people who likes to deconstruct experiences and build new ones from the parts. He's a thinker, a doer, and a true community builder, and having visited almost as many Kinky Salons as I have he has a unique perspective on the global community.

In this episode I visit Lucy and Phil in London and we chat while their baby gurgles in the background. What a cutie! Great to hear from a couple with a young baby and how they navigate participating in the community. They are supporters of Kinky Salon London whose relationship and life has been transformed by their experiences there.

On this episode I chat with Reid Mihalko, "America's Favorite Sex Geek," about his experiences in sex positive community and how Kinky Salon impacted his life. Are you curious how went from throwing orgies for his friends in his tiny New York apartment to teaching people how to have better sex lives? He tells all. www.reidaboutsex.com

The sweetest triad just appeared on the SF scene. Mandy, Alon and Roo are fresh transplants with tons of energy and some interesting perspectives and experiences in polyamory, swinging and The Lifestyle (capital T capital L.) It's nice to hear that they feel like Kinky Salon is their new home. The photo is of us goofing around on New Year's Eve.

Mandy, Alon and Roo. A triad.

I've appeared on Monika's podcast Sexploration with Monikamany times over the years. She's a local San Francisco celebrity who's also a regular at Kinky Salon. We talk (among other things) about the irony of navigating sex positive space as powerful sexy women while not being as promiscuous as people expect us to be.

This episode things get super intellectual as I interview Christina Bazzaroni, the PhD (ABD) who is studying Kinky Salon. We started out being her lab rats but then she went native! She's part of the team that set up Kinky Salon in New York and she's been all over the world interviewing the community leaders in all the different cities for her dissertation. She's real smart. The photo is of us in Berlin. She's deeeep in her research dressed as a pirate to blend in. It's purely professional. Ahem.

Christina is studying us!

Following the last episode's introduction to the Porn Clown Posse, this time I've got Ouchy the Clown in an intimate tête-à-tête about his personal life. He's an iconic character in San Francisco subculture, a loving father and husband, and a total perv. Apologies for the bad jokes and to the coulrophobic.

Jessica and Brian Berlin have been regulars at Kinky Salon San Francisco forever. They've tried monogamy and polyamory and now they've got the perfect balance. Listen in on how they became a Kinky Salon power couple! Warning: it involves clowns.

Eric is a podcaster who lives in Chicago. He has an awesome podcast called Full Disclosure which you should totally check out. We talk about Chicago sex culture and how different it is from the Bay Area and in the end I think I convinced him to start a Kinky Salon out there. We'll see!

Lucid has two personalities (at least.) She created her alternate persona Nona Fender so that she could express her East Coast rawness to her West Coast community. She came to Mission Control before Kinky Salon existed, has seen it blossom over the last 15 years, and has some great stories about her early days of exploring open sexuality.  You can experience the rockstar Nona first hand with her vaudeville "rewilding" revival at Bawdy Church on Oct 16https://www.facebook.com/events/102770643411437/

Will's just your friendly average all American neighborhood perv. Come listen to his take on open relationships, being slutty, and looking for an LTCR.
