Hide & Seek

Joined on the line by tantra coach and bodyworker, Curt Mason, Tim is taking a solo course in intimacy and tantric pleasure.

Why is intimacy important, and what is keeping people from a healthy exploration of intimacy in their relationships? In an app-driven culture, can intimacy coexist with the search for instant gratification?

Curt is the organiser of the Touching the Heart Retreat in NSW, and during the show he mentioned the recurring classes in Brunswick, including the Naked Stretch class. At Curt's suggestion, Tim will be attending the Multiple Orgasm and Naked Ritual workshops and will give us a rundown in future episodes.

To hear Curt's previous interview with us, head to Episode 62 - Nakedman Special

World renowned BiCon, Steve Spencer, comes back to Hide and Seek to give Jon and Tim a look at both sides of Bi+ life, sex, relationships and the forthcoming BiSHH study. The Bisexual Sexual Health and HIV Study (BiSSH Study) will be run by the Kirby Institute, and will be the first Australian sexual health study specifically designed for Bi+ people. Steve also discusses the myths about bisexual privilege, and the gaps in support for bisexual health.

Community Links

For Melbourne folx, the Bi+ Community of Melbourne on Facebook and Melbourne Bi+ 40+ Events on Facebook are both great social spaces (and according to Steve, a source of memeable content ranging from puntastic to pants-wettingly funny)

The full statement from International Ms Leather 2018, Sir Ange, that was referenced in this episode is as follows:

The entire International Mr Bootblack contest team have taken a stand against the visible transphobic, misogynistic, and exclusionary behavior of some members of the board. However, to ignore a problem condones the behavior, so the responsibility for change lies on all shoulders. Many opportunities for change have come and gone for the IML & IMBB board to address the inequity of their alliances and actions. I sincerely hope the action of our incredible Bootblacks is the catalyst for some necessary progress, that is well overdue.

- Sir Ange (Ms International Leather 2018)
