Podcast #163 – 10/28/09
Hey sex fans,
Today I have the pleasure of welcoming an international celebrity; a woman I’ve admired, albeit 
from afar, for ages. She is a highly sought-after speaker on the subject of polyamory. That’s probably because, not only is she exceptionally well informed on the topic, she also has a wicked sense of humor. She is the founder polyweekly.com and host of its wildly popular podcast series. One, I might add, that has been running continuously for nearly 5 years. That, my friends, is staying power!
My guest is none other than the charming and vivacious, Cunning Minx. If you know anything about polyamory, you will at least recognize her name. However, it’s much more likely that you are a huge fan of this amazing woman, just like me.
I happily turn the tables on Minx in today’s program. Instead of assuming her traditional role as podcast host, she is my guest. And she adds her unique voice in the ever-growing chorus of prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles that we call the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series.
Minx and I discuss:
- The Pacific Northwest as a hotbed of perversion.
- The Polyweekly podcasts; going strong since 2005.
- Tales from the front of responsible non-monogamy from a pansexual, kink-friendly point of view.
- Her private life and relationship with her ex, Graydancer.
- Her site as a clearinghouse for all things poly.
- How she got the name, Cunning Minx.
- Dating within the poly community.
- Some younger gay men’s perception of polyamory.
- A working definition of polyamory.
Be sure to visit Minx on her informative, enriching and very entertaining website HERE!
Podcast #162 — 10/26/09
Hey sex fans,
Today I have an intensely thought provoking interview with the fantastic artist, illustrator 
and author of several erotic comics, Steve MacIsaac. His work is sultry, unabashedly sexual, (some even claim it’s porn); but whatever you call it you can’t deny powerful human element to his art and stories. In his world the men are men, with all the complexities, passion and ambiguity that contemporary masculinity implies. You will notice immediately that my guest, like his creations, is a power to be reckoned with.
Steve is here as part of The Erotic Mind
series. And we have our mutual friend, Sean-Z, who has also appeared on this show, to thank for that. As you know, for well over a year now I’ve been chatting with noted erotic artists, both visual and literary, from all over the freakin world in an effort to uncover something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form.
Steve and I discuss:
- The derivation of the term Shirtlifter, the title of one of his comics.
- Creating comics with and without words and the difference between them.
- His collaboration with Dale Lazarov.
- His stories, like all good erotica, being very meaty.
- His characters self-discovery and even self-loathing.
- What comes first, story or image.
- Working in the digital media.
- His work as autobiography.
- Being his own publisher.
Be sure to check out Steve and his amazing artwork, especially his comic — SHIRTLIFTER, as well as his insightful blog on his site HERE .
