Why Are People Into That?!

Conner Habib's personal library gave Tina Horn such a big brain boner she kinda just wanted to roll around reading and smelling his books all afternoon. Because that's the kind of creep she is. Instead, she pulled it together and asked the writer, porn star, and advocate to discuss the Occult. How is magic related to sex? Why are gay sex and BDSM such a threat to those in power? What's the most  p...

In Side B of Episode 11, Sarah Patterson and I discussed the myriad motivations of people in the sex trades. Whether you work on the street or in a dungeon, on camera or in a private room, with your voice or with your body, every sex worker faces staggering stigma against the legitimacy of the labor they do in exchange for the things they need. What happens when the need to make a living intersect...

Last October, I was sharing a modest office studio space in Bushwick with one of my favorite organizations, the Persist Health Project. One day, the Executive Director of Persist, Sarah Patterson, and I got coffee and vegan deli sandwiches and sat in our little white room for almost two hours talking about sex work. We challenged ourselves to ask both: Why Are People Into  Hiring Sex Workers, and...

It's our 10th Episode! There are a hell of a lot of sexual desires that Igancio could explain to us, and we'd eat our hats if they didn't have a story to tell about it that made us weak in the knees. We are really glad we settled on “squirting” because the personal anecdotes they shared sort of made us squirmy and giggly and forget our notes, which is pretty much what you wanted out of this podcas...

I am a blithering fangirl for Siouxsie Q's podcast The Whorecast – in many ways, it continues to inspire me to make YAPIT .

We snuggled up with Siouxsie's prized My Little Pony blanket and Frederick the Bear for a very personal discussion of Age Play. What is the erotic appeal of...

OMG SHOES!! When James Darling stopped by my New York City apartment, he immediately spotted one of my prized possessions: a pair of black leather Jimmy Choo 4 inch stiletto high heels.

We discussed the femme phallus, trampling, and the prec...

In our continued commitment to post-modernity, Episode 6, “Why Are People Into Exhibitionism?!” with very special guest Carol Queen was recorded live in front of an audience at Catalyst Con East last March … which means that Tina and Dr. Queen talked about the love of having sex in front of other people  in front of other people. Of course, Exhibitionism is about more than getting off on bei...

Helloooooooooooo Nurse! For Episode 5, Tina spoke to her friend Zil Goldstein, a badass medical professional and health advocate, about the phenomenon of Naughty Nurses. Why are nurses such pervasive pop culture sex symbols? How do trust, bedside manner, and Mommy issues play into nurse obsessions? Or is it really all about the outfits?

In Episode Three, Tina Horn talks with prolific kinky author Laura Antoniou about erotic service and sex slaves. Why would someone want to be sexually enslaved to another?
