Welcome to The Sanctuary of Sin Podcast, where we dive headfirst into the juicy, the taboo, and the scandalously sinful. In this deep dive, we’re exploring perhaps the most infamous—and, let’s be honest, most fun—of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust.

In Part 1, we’re setting the scene with an exploration of lust as more than just a desire for sex. Lust is a primal force—fueling love, rebellion, shame, art, kink, and control. It’s a craving that drives connection and creation… and, depending on who you ask, possibly the downfall of civilization.

We crack open the ancient scrolls and modern myths to trace how this most human urge became demonized. From Saint Augustine’s iconic teenage erection (yes, really), to the weaponization of shame in patriarchal religion, we unpack how a single mortifying moment at the Roman baths helped build the foundation for centuries of sexual repression. We’re talking original sin, boner guilt, and the birth of the idea that your genitals must be mastered. Spoiler: he blamed his dick for literally everything.

We then track how lust was politicised and policed throughout history—from ancient matriarchal fertility worship to the rise of the patriarchy, where women’s bodies became currency and sex became a site of control. With quotes from scripture, scandalous kings, and rebellious academics, we unravel how sexuality—especially women’s—was tamed to fit systems of power, inheritance, and religious doctrine.

But it’s not all fire and brimstone. We’ll also touch on how lust found liberation in the 20th century: the sexual revolution, the pill, the rise of free love, and how we’re still riding the wave of sex positivity today. From slut-shaming to sacred kink, from Genesis to Grindr—lust has come a long way, baby.

So grab your flogger and your favorite beverage—this is one sin you’ll be glad you didn’t resist.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses religion, sexual shame, reproductive rights, and systemic oppression. Take care of yourselves and listen with awareness.

In this episode of The Sanctuary of Sin Podcast, we’re diving into the UV-soaked, rave-fuelled madness that was Glow at The Townhouse—a kinky, queer-friendly swingers event hosted by the fabulous Mr & Mrs G. We danced, we painted, we toasted (literally), and we left with our faith in the scene completely restored. From chaotic party energy to intimate upstairs vibes, consent-forward play, and some unforgettable community moments (including a glow job event), this night had everything.

We’re talking venue highlights, unexpected surprises, the kinky baker's toastie shack you didn’t know you needed, and why this felt like one of the most inclusive, electric events we’ve ever been to. If you've been curious about sex-positive nightlife, this is the review that might just tip you over the edge.

🎟️ Spoiler: We've already booked for the next one. Come glow with us!

Welcome to The Sanctuary of Sin – the podcast where kink, queerness, and everything seductively sinful collide.

In our very first episode, we’re peeling back the latex curtain and inviting you into our world.

We’re Jayson and Rebecca (aka Emily Sin) – partners in life, kink, and chaos – and together we run The Sanctuary of Sin, a kinky little haven that grew from our passion for BDSM, exploration, and community. We’ve been together for over 10 years, but our journey into kink, queerness, and self-discovery has taken us to places we never imagined… including dungeon parties, swinger nights, kinky markets, and some truly unforgettable workshops across the UK.

We’ve known each other since we were 7 (yep, really!), growing up in small ex-mining towns in rural Scotland. With semi-religious upbringings that never quite fit who we were, kink became our escape – our sanctuary – a space where we could break free from norms, shame, and hetero vanilla expectations. It’s where we found our people: the neurospicies, the queers, the misfits, and the gloriously filthy fabulous folk who welcomed us with open arms!

In this episode, we’re sharing our story – how we discovered we're both switches, how exploring Rebecca’s dominant side and Jayson’s submissive side changed the game, and how this wild ride led us to some amazing humans, unforgettable moments, and a whole new way of connecting.

We also talk about the birth of Uncensored Scotland – created by Rebecca and the powerhouse Moth of Moth to Flame Events. What started as a sexy 18+ market has become a movement, creating space for trans folks, kinksters, queers, furries, sex workers, polycules, and everyone in between to come together and celebrate everything cunty, smutty, and fabulous.

This podcast is our next adventure – a space to explore everything delectably sinful: the seven deadly sins, kink, witchcraft, queer culture, sex work, and all the beautifully taboo things in between. We’re leaving room for this to grow and evolve, just like we have.

So grab a drink, settle in, and prepare to sin a little.
