What Brought You Into Kink? (Or Who)
It is always fun to find out how folks found out they were kinky, or what made them think to check it out! Join us as we ask several people to share their stories (and some of those answers may surprise you!)
LIVE! Orgasm Fundraiser
ASPECC.ca, as part of their program to destigmatize pleasure and support sexual empowerment for folks with vulvas, hosted an orgasm fundraiser. Folks volunteered to collect pledges, and participated in various ways, from recording the sound of their orgasm to participating in the privacy booths at the gala itself.
It was incredible. Dozens of folks came out to support shame free pleasure, and every one was super respectful. The event included an orientation with clear beahviour expectations laid out, so that may have helped.
This is a LIVE show and you may hear sounds of folks having orgasms, talking about orgasms etc.

Some folks have been expressing growing concern over what these changes will mean for them. Today we are discussing the changes to consent in social norms, and the push back against those changes.
