Michael Henry’ Erotic Mind — Podcast #316 — 01/16/12
Hey sex fans, welcome back.
It’s the first podcast interview for the new year and I have a twofer in store for ya. How fun is that? We break open the 2012 editions of 
both The Erotic Mind and the Sex EDGE-U-cation series with one fell swoop as I welcome photographer, Michael Henry, to the show. He is an up and coming talent who is also kinky as all get out. So I thought who better to inaugurate the new year than this fine fellow.
I also have a bit of a hidden agenda. You see, I often hear from avid listeners to my show; they tell me they love the interviews, but they claim that some of the artists I feature are very intimidating. These listeners, some who are aspiring artists, of one stripe or another, themselves feel as though they could never achieve what some of my guests have achieved and so they are disheartened. This bums me out; because I want this series to inspire the creativity in my audience, not stifle it. So Michael is here to reassure us that even relative newcomers have something wonderful to contribute to the art form.
Michael and I discuss:
- The full spectrum of his talent;
- The Sinsiterbrain moniker;
- Words of encouragement for the aspiring artist;
- Rigging some of the scenes he shoots;
- The sensations and feel of the rope;
- Making his photographic images believable;
- Failure, a necessary part of the creative process;
- David Lawrence & Marlen Boro
- Talking people out of their cloths;
- Cultural implications of bondage;
- Gender and submission.

David Peterman’s Erotic Mind — Podcast #311 — 11/28/11
Hey sex fans, welcome back.
Today I have the honor of introducing you to an exquisite photographer from right here in the Emerald City. Join us as we scrutinize The Erotic Mind of David Peterman.
Despite David’s protestations that he is not an erotic photographer, I think you’ll agree with me, all his other friends as well as the juries at the annual Seattle Erotic Art Festival that he is a master of his craft.
Ok, so David’s photography isn’t erotic in the conventional sense of that word. In fact, there is a whimsy and playfulness in his work that often flies in the face of what most of us might consider erotica. But to my mind, this is precisely what makes his work so satisfying, delightful and intriguing. He unabashedly celebrates the human form in a most extraordinary and riveting way.
David and I discuss:
- Creating the setting and letting his models do the rest;
- Eye candy and mind candy;
- The story behind his website’s name — theyareonlypixels;
- How he never sets out to shoot erotica;
- His goal — making a cool interesting and fun picture;
- The Common Thread Project;
- The Underwater Project;
- The Self-Censored Project;
- The allure of the group project;
- The Ant Farm project;
- His models being part of the creative process.

Kristen Knapick’s SEX WISDOM — Podcast #309 — 11/16/11
Hello sex fans! Welcome back.
I think you’ll agree; we have been on quite a roll with the SEX WISDOM series. Over the last couple months I’ve been able to bring you a wide variety of intelligent and thought provoking interviews with some of the most interesting movers and shakers in the field of human sexuality; people who are making news and helping us take a fresh look at our sexual selves. Today I’m happy to add to that illustrious lineup and I don’t even have leave the Emerald City to do so. I am proud to welcome to my show fellow therapist, Kristen Knapick.
Curiously enough, despite living in the same town, being in the same line of work and having numerous friends and colleagues in common; Kristen and I met for the first time just recently. That’s not to say that I didn’t know of her; I certainly did. I heard tell of her remarkably innovative style and the uniquely sensitive outreach she brings to her private practice. So, when we finally met, it was like meeting an old friend. I think you’ll be as impressed as I when you meet her in a few moments.
Kristen and I discuss:
- Her special outreach to sexual minorities;
- The woeful lack of training most healing and helping professionals have around non-traditional sexuality;
- Words of wisdom for kinksters looking for a healing or helping professional;
- Words of wisdom for healing and helping professionals working with sexual minorities;
- Being part of the communities she serves;
- Support systems for partners of trans folks;
- The variety of sexualities, genders and relationships models out there.
