What do anonymous semi-public BJs have to do with gay male cultural heritage, and – more importantly – where are the best spots in NYC to get/give one? On his podcast, RISK!, Kevin is not shy about his erotic exploits, and this episode pokes around in the tons and tons of tiny little closet sized rooms in the bathhouse of some dirty minds.

 25: Allison Moon: Pegging | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:12:05

Tina Horn and Girl Sex 101 Allison Moon both love to put their strap-ons in the butts of lucky gentlemen. What is it about this specific gender configuration (a cis-woman fucking a cis-man in the ass with a strap-on), this so-called “reversal of roles,” that has the incredible power to queer heterosexual intercourse? Some questions: What’s in your pegging kit? / What does the third sphincter do? / What pegging position does the swamp planet Dagobah bring to mind? / How is a strap-on like a pair of boots?

 24: Morgana Maye: Cross-Dressing | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:31:39

You’ll recall the meme featuring the great Iggy Pop wearing an evening gown alongside his quote: “I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.” This month’s episode is a discussion between two cisgender queer women who have both made a living for many years facilitating the fantasy of cisgender men to dress up in dresses, lingerie, heels, makeup, and wigs. Beginning with the premise that the very idea of “crossing” from one gender to the other is horribly outmoded (for example, both Tina and guest Morgana Maye were definitely both wearing pants during this conversation), these two professional dominants discuss the erotic possibilities and mind-bending politics of those who enjoy erotically embodying femininity without identifying as a woman per ce. Discussed: “Please explain me to myself” / The difference between erotic degradation, humiliation, and embarrassment /...

This episode is a tribute to big cocks, giant hands, oversized vibrators, voluminous screams, zaftig bodies, and insatiable appetites.

As a long-time veteran in front of and behind the sex industry camera, Mickey has a lot to say about the reasons that fear sells porno.
