The Sex Salon

Since the pandemic, "testing" has become part of our vocabulary like never before. Guesting the Sex Salon is Laureen HD - a sex educator specialising in destigmatizing STI's and living with them. We'll be talking about how the pandemic might have shifted our relationship to our sexual health, how to talk about it and not at least the notoriously difficult "how to get tested in Berlin when you have a vagina"!

The Sex Salon season 3 is here. This round we dive into how the pandemic effected love and sex - mainly in the slutty headquarter Berlin. First episode is with porn producer, director, photographer and creator Theo Meow of the MeowMeow collective in Berlin. We talk about how the pandemic might have changed the porn scene, about porn as activism and how a group of Berlin film makers fundraised for sex workers with their pandemic porn 'Sex in times of Corona (2020)'.

Having followed his work for many years I was thrilled to finally have had the opportunity to interview Bishop Black for The Sex Salon. He’s a performer of both arts and porn (often in the intersection) and a strong voice in his community. Moving to Berlin from London 7 years ago - he surely has lots to teach us about the city.

We talk about

- Experiences with Kambo and ayahuasca

- Fighting for representation as a black, bisexual man

- The creation of Bishop Black

- The culture of sex parties in Berlin

- Porn as art and why queer people are so openly into it

- The lesson you learn and choices to make when moving to Berlin

- The upcoming sex education project; Sex School
