Good Listen with Joe Pardavila

Beth Sparksfire: Redefining Sex Positivity, Community, and Resilience


Listen Later

In the season finale of Good Listen, I sit down with Beth Sparksfire, the cofounder of the Hacienda, a sex-positive community in Bushwick, Brooklyn, that has been redefining connection and pleasure for over a decade. Beth takes me through her incredible journey—from moving to New York, meeting her polyamorous partner at a life-changing barbecue, and building a thriving community known for its unforgettable parties and workshops.
For the first time, Beth addresses the New York Times article from earlier this year that scrutinized the Hacienda. She speaks openly about the challenges it brought, the misconceptions it spread, and how she is using the experience to strengthen the community and its commitment to safety and inclusivity.
We explore the evolution of sex-positive culture, the delicate balance of running a community rooted in openness, and how Beth manages to juggle it all—cofounding a nightclub, hosting events, and raising two young kids in New York City.
This conversation is raw, thought-provoking, and eye-opening. Whether you’re curious about sex positivity or just love a great story, you won’t want to miss it! #SexPositivity
