W is for Writing

Welcome to the A to Z of Sex. I’m Dr Lori Beth and I am your host.  We are working our way through the erotic alphabet one letter at a time.  Just a reminder this podcast deals with adult content, so if you don’t have total privacy, you might want to put on your headphones.  Today the letter is W and W is for Writing.

 

I had the opportunity to record a wide variety of people at Master slave Conference 2018 over Labour Day weekend in the United States.   I recorded this episode with Jaki Griot while I was there.   In 2006, Jaki found the local BDSM community through the TNG movement and served on the Steering Committee for the Next Generation, Baltimore for 6 years.  Jaki worked for PEPlove.com (People Exchanging Power)

as a phone dominant and sex counselor.  Jaki worked at Sugar the Shop (a woman and trans operated adult toy store) as a sex education.  Since 2007, Jaki Griot has taught classes for local and antional organisations including but not limited to: Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) , Dark Odyssey Winter Fire, Dark Odyssey Fusion, Floating World, Baltimore Educational Social Society (BESS), BlackBeat, FetFest, Primal Arts, TNG Baltimore , DCTNG and Touch of Flavour.  Her published erotica and essays related to kink and BDSM appear in Salacious Magazine, Sacred Kink Anthology, Carter/Johnson Leather Library and the National Coaltion for Sexual Freedom.

We started by talking about Jaki’s involvement in TNG Baltimore and how this lead to exploring many facets of kink and BDSM. We moved from there to talking about the many projects Jaki has been involved with. Jaki enjoys connecting with many different types of people from all walks of life.. She is an activist and works to see people of colour, women, disabled people, people of all body shapes and sizes, and people of all ethnicities represented in the BDSM, kink, polyamory and leather communities.  One of her main goals is to help people from these groups to have a voice.    Her new zine (online and in print) Perverts of Color provides a platform for essays, erotica, and art.. Jaki spoke about wanting upcoming issues to also focus on how people who have disabilities including neurological ones and including those who simply think differently experience sexuality, kink, BDSM, leather and the wider communities..

 

Jaki spoke about creating a space for all these communities by being willing to talk to people and interact with people.

 

Perverts of Color : Goal to have this bimonthly for at least a year.. It costs digital $3 and print $6

There are interviews, stories, art, original photography.. There are also resources such as ways to find doctors, therapists, lawyers etc who are kink aware and/or friendly.
