In this episode of The Erotic Realm, I speak with Hawthorn a 66 year old genderqueer pagan who describes themselves as a bottom leaning switch, sensual sadist, sensation slut, and erotic exhibitionist.

We explore:

  • What it means to be a switch later in life.

  • Reichian psychology, gender evolution, and spiritual kink.

  • Defining sexual satisfaction beyond orgasm.

  • Sensation play, demisexuality, and “talking scenes”.

  • How erotic ritual and pagan practice intersect.

  • Why being fully seen is the most underrated form of erotic nourishment.

Plus, Hawthorn reads from one of their own erotic writings live on the show.
