EP 40: Mx Tomie sits down with legendary dominatrix, writer, filmmaker, and sex worker organizer *Yin Q* for a raw conversation about pain, power, kink, trauma, and politics. Drawing on over three decades in BDSM, Yin reflects on their evolution from hard sadism and edge play into disability-informed kink, art-making, and community organizing—speaking candidly about burnout, the emotional toll of professional domination, and the sessions that pushed them past their limits.
Together, they unpack the difference between negotiated violence and abuse, why boredom and dissociation are important data, and how kink can function as art and ritual without being sold as a cure. They also explore dom aftercare, the myth of the flawless 24/7 dom, class divides in sex work, and the responsibility that comes with being visible. The episode closes with reflections on activism and Yin’s forthcoming documentary, *The Whores’ Feast.*
