Many thanks to all of the guests, each of whom we could have easily dedicated an entire hour to. Raymond Motee gave us just a glimpse, but very key information on the status of consent in the legal realm. Matt Scott and shadow-girl introduced us to Ontario Kink and how Jian Ghomeshi’s calculated inclusion of BDSM in his initial, defensive statement affected the kink community and how they and others are working to educate on matters of consent. And Heather Elizabeth and JP Robichaud provided the building blocks for us to bring consent into our lives, in clear, compassionate ways.
NOVEMBER 11, 2014

September 9, 2014
What great fun we had on Sex City last night! Well, probably mostly for me because I was developing a pretty wicked fever and was kinda loop. However, it was a pleasure to welcome Ducky Doolittle to hear about her journey to sex education and her workshops. It was also fun to turn the tables on Alicia ‘The Sexual Intellectual’ of RAW SEX and ask her the questions about her fantastic sex radio show. And of course, I always have a wild time talking with Rose Caraway. Seriously, pick up her book The Sexy Librarian’s Big Book of Erotica—SO HOT!

I was very lucky to host a very special roundtable discussion on sex entrepreneurs and sex-related business on last night’s Sex City.

Many thanks to Rosanna from In My Bed magazine, Marika from Kink Engineering and Deanna from Hanky Panky for their insight and encouraging words about the prospects of running a sex-related business.
August 12, 2014
Last night’s Sex City was a ride! A damn fine ride!
It was a pleasure to speak with each of Kelly Shibari, Epiphora and Shane Allison. I really enjoy shows that bring together a mix of topics and personalities. We talked Plus Size porn with Kelly, sex toy reviewing with Epiphora and cop erotica with Shane! That might seem really random but ultimately, I took something important away from the show. Sure, we’ve all got our niche and we’ve all got our personal interests when it comes to sex. These differentiate us and make us all uniquely awesome. But at the same time, we find commonality when we hone in on our niche.
July 29, 2014
Last night’s Sex City was definitely a different experience…and it was AWESOME!
We often talk to people about the mechanics of, the feelings or, the politics of, the art of sex. But we don’t always take enough of a listen to our stories of sex. Thank you to Samantha Fraser and Sophie Delancey from Tell Me Something Good Sexy Storytelling Slam and a special thank you to Elle Chronique, Wil McLean and Tynan Rhea for sharing their experiences.
July 15, 2014
I was so happy to explore different versions of sex education on this week’s Sex City—and with some fantastic guests!
One thing I hope this type of show can do is to throw off stigma and stereotype. That foolish line of thought that purports porn performers to be airheads, fools or unintelligent is so off the mark. Not only are my guests Stoya, jessica drake and Conner Habib brilliant, compassionate, articulate people, but they are just a few. The porn world has a lot to offer—as long was society at large wants to listen.
July 1, 2014
Last night’s Sex City was a fun one! And important!
All of my guests—Wil McLean, Tynan Rhea, Carlie Ritch—are doing work in the community to better our sexual lives. This is good work, work that I really appreciate. Sex-related work of any sort gets pushed to the edges—despite the role that sex can play in many of our lives.
June 3, 2014
This week’s Sex City was special to me.
I will readily admit when I am shameless in my fandom and I am a big fan of all of my guests. Ms Quote’s A Good Woman’s Dirty Mind blog is a must read for me and I am truly inspired by #AdultSexEdMonth. She’s created something so valuable. Philip’s book, 101 Vagina, is gorgeous and very important. And given how much I like talking about porn, you know I am a voracious reader of Dr. Comella‘s work and I am very glad we met this past spring.
May 6, 2014
Last night’s Sex City was a great experience. Sex education comes in so many different forms and can happen at times you don’t even expect. I am sure the Come As You Are Crew are going to help so many people across Canada this summer as they embark on their road trips of sexy, sexy sex ed. And I highly recommend Mark and Patricia’s Partners in Passion. It will give you so many amazing ideas for yourself and your relationship. It is an essential resource.
April 22, 2014
As you might guess, I rather enjoy talking about porn and erotic film. It is such a rich, complex and controversial subject. As such, last night’s Sex City was a great experience.
First, Christopher Zeischegg, aka Danny Wylde, opened up for all of us, telling us why he had to leave his porn career and why he decided to make a different return to filmed sex with his partner. Very moving.
Then I had a great time talking to Kitty Stryker all about porn parody films. It is a huge and still-growing genre in porn that Kitty notes is accessible because of the humour and familiarity with characters.
Finally, Paul Deeb sheds some light on his process in breaking the fourth wall of film in his Feminist Porn Award-winning short film Trains. His unconventional technique results in a stunning and compelling narrative that is a treat and well deserving of the title “Sexiest Short.”
March 25, 2014
I had a fantastic time on Sex City last night! It is always good to connect with Carlyle Jansen of Good for Her. I’ve known her since she was greatly influential and supportive of my old queer zine TRADE: Queer Things. The Sex and the Erotic Film Festival looks like a great addition to the community here in Toronto. Another great addition is SPIT! Khadeja sat with me while I went through some technical issues and was so fun and full of a great energy. I look forward to following their work. And speaking of great energy, Goddess got me really thinking about Tantra and all of the possibilities that lie within.
