Podcast! Kitty Stryker Talks Consent in BDSM

Kitty Stryker is pretty wonderful. She's been working with sex workers for quite some time and her work is even transnational!

She's talked about sex worker rights from London to San Francisco. She now runs Cum & Glitter, a live sex show in San Francisco, that recently went Folsom-style for San Francisco folks.

We recently caught up with Kitty at CatalystCon last week. What we talked about:

• What is her new "Consent Culture" project all about?
• Why does she think BDSM needs more consent?
• What's wrong with FetLife policies around BDSM scenes? 
• What brought about Cum & Glitter?
• Why did she get into sex education & sex work?
• What's Cum & Glitter all about?
• What's next for Kitty?
