A fascinating and surprising trip through some of the most amazing kink-related stories of all time: the serial bottom-stingers of early Nineteenth century France; the most dangerous fetishist in the world; the invention of the stripper popping out of a cake, the saga of the video games that founded a fascist disciplinary academy for time-travelling girls of all genders… For each story, we’ll see what happened, why, and what this teaches us about sex and about ourselves.
PRESENTER:
Ayzad is a reformed journalist, a writer, and an alternative sexuality educator. He has been practicing kink for over 30 years now and Ayzad is the pseudonym under which in 2004 he wrote BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism, where he collected everything he had learned from his studies of a truly endless topic. That manual became a best seller, starting collaborations with sexologists and scholars who drew him to extend his research to every form of unusual sexuality.
The results include five other books so far (four of them currently available in Italian only, sorry!), a podcast, a radio show, two video series, countless lectures, and teaching collaborations. Today, education to ethical kink is Ayzad's full-time job. Among his attempts to make the world a nicer place he also launched The Sexual Explorers Manifesto initiative, and he is a coach helping people solve their unusual sexuality issues.
Ayzad.com was born to collect and share his daily discoveries about the lesser-known aspects of sex, to have fun together, and – as it always happens with these things – to better know ourselves. It is apparently working, given that he was listed among the world’s best sex bloggers.
