A couple of years ago, I covered Star Garden, a strip club in North Hollywood, which unionized through SAG-AFTRA. But there’s a classic example of stripper unionization that’s THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013. This episode dives into Jayne’s research on sex worker social movements and how sex workers are responsible for the rise of sex positivity and sex-positive politics/feminism.

We discuss the disturbing details, Pelicot’s incredible bravery in waiving her anonymity and making the case public, and what this case reveals about the insidious nature of misogyny and the banality of sexual assault. We also talk about the parallels in Monique's previous book, All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator .

Swinging Secrets from a Happily Married Couple: Inside Dave & Victoria Arena's 20-Year Non-Monogamy Journey
For the 184th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes happily married swingers Dave and Victoria Arena for an episode all about non-monogamy — swinging, in specific. And I have the perfect guests because they’ve been happily married and active in the lifestyle for decades. I met Dave and Victoria through a screenwriting workshop. They actually wrote a pilot for a TV series inspired by their swinger lifestyle. In real life, it began as innocent pillow talk, but when Victoria took the daring step to sign them up for a non-monogamy app, they had no idea what they were in for... But they quickly worked through that first awkward encounter and have been making it work ever since. Twenty years is a long time to be happily swinging with your partner, so in this episode, we'll learn their secrets for lasting so long in the lifestyle. We also explore how they first became swingers, their initial rules, how they prioritize their relationship, the joys of sex clubs, and the swinging scene in Cleveland, Ohio vs. New York City, plus tips for couples who want to start swinging and how to approach the conversation with your partner. This is a horny treat from the archive—this episode originally ran in April 2023.

Project 2025 & the Conservative Anti-Porn Agenda: Siri Dahl on the State of Online Sex Work
For the 179th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes adult film performer and activist Siri Dahl. In this episode, we delve into the impact of conservative anti-porn legislation, including Project 2025 and the Kids Online Safety Act, on the adult entertainment industry and sex workers. Siri offers insight into how the industry has evolved over the past decade, from the rise of platforms like OnlyFans to the increasing censorship and regulation of online adult content through age verification laws. She explains how these laws, under the guise of protecting children, are actually a backdoor attempt to ban pornography and criminalize sex work. Siri also shares her thoughts on the cultural stigma surrounding sex work, the challenges sex workers face in finding "civilian" employment, and the ongoing fight against piracy and content theft. Tune into the Corn Telethon , a 12-hour livestream to raise awareness about Project 2025, as well as funds for sex worker organizations and independent journalism. It kicks off on October 15th at 9am PST.

57-Year-Old MILF Next Door Rae Richmond on Becoming a Mature OnlyFans Sensation & the Hometown Scandal That Ensued
For the 166th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes mature OnlyFans model Rae Richmond, aka “the MILF next door,” aka “the Midlife MILF.” In today’s episode, we discuss how Rae went from corporate life to becoming a self-made porn star, including her previous marriages, getting sober, and meeting a younger man who encouraged her to start an OnlyFans account at age 56. Like many sex workers and adult entertainers, this woman is the ultimate entrepreneur, and she even turned the strategies and systems she developed to consistently produce and promote content into an adult creator coaching business. Rae also shares her experience of being “outed” in her small hometown, the reactions from friends and family, and how she has navigated that. Additionally, Rae talks about the cosmetic procedures she has undergone, including a facelift and Brazilian butt lift, and her current quest to write a memoir about her life experiences.

Hannah Sward on Her Memoir "Strip": Uncovering Truths on Trauma, Sex Work & the Road to Sobriety
For the 164th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Hannah Sward, author of Strip: A Memoir . Hannah opens up about her unconventional childhood, including being abandoned by her mother, living with her poet father, experiencing sexual abuse as a child, and (of course) a stint on a commune. She also shares her entry into sex work, first as a call girl and then as a stripper, working alongside her sister, why she started using crystal meth, and how she finally got sober after losing a decade to addiction.

The Most Forgotten Letter in LGBTQIA: Cody Daigle-Orians of Ace Dad Advice on the Underrepresentation of Asexuality
For the 160th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Cody Daigle-Orians, the influencer behind Ace Dad Advice and author of I Am Ace , to discuss the underrepresentation of asexuality in popular culture. It's Pride Month, and there's lots of rightful celebration for the LGBTIA community, but rarely mention of the acronym's A. In fact, asexuality is so underrepresented in culture that it can be hard to self-identify. Cody Daigle-Orians didn't realize they were asexual until age 42 after initially coming out as gay. It was reading about asexuality on Tumblr that led to their ah-ha moment. In this episode, Cody explains the nuances of asexuality and attraction, including the differences between sexual, romantic, and aesthetic attraction, as well as the glossary of related ace terms. Cody also debunks some common misconceptions, shares how their asexuality journey led them to rethink their gender identity, how polyamory fits into their equation, and provides tips for navigating mixed identity relationships.

Brutally Honest About Being a Teen Dominatrix, Pregnancy After ED & More with “Brutalities” Author Margo Steines
For the 157th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Margo Steines, author of Brutalities: A Love Story . In this interview, we discuss Margo's experience as a dominatrix, sex work then vs. now, the toxic societal pressures on women's bodies in the 90s and how that resulted in eating disorders for both of us, her stint as a high-rise welder, advice she would give her former self about an abusive relationship, what it was like to be pregnant during the pandemic, how she feels about motherhood, and more. Here's the description of Brutalities : Quarantined in a southwestern desert city in the midst of her high-risk pregnancy, Margo Steines felt her life narrow around her growing body, compelling her to reckon with the violence entangled in its history. She was a professional dominatrix in New York City, a homestead farmer in a brutal relationship, a welder on a high-rise building crew, and a mixed martial arts enthusiast; each of her many lives brought a new perspective on how power and masculinity coalesce―and how far she could push her body toward the brink. With unflinching candor, Steines searches for the roots of her erstwhile attraction to pain while charting the complicated triumph of gentleness and love.

Pet Loss, Part 3: The Agony & Ecstasy of Animal Rescue & Saving Abused Dogs From Skid Row with Joey Tuccio
For the 153rd episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Joey Tuccio, president and CEO of Roadmap Writers, for the final episode in our three-part series on pet loss. Have you ever lost a beloved pet? It’s the worst. Scientifically, it can be as hard to grieve a pet as a parent or a partner. I lost my beloved dog, Georgia, in early December, and it was so hard for me to process — that experience inspired this series. (If you missed part one with Cherie Doyen, listen here , and part two with Beth Bigler, listen here .) Joey Tuccio is heavily involved with animal rescue efforts, including saving abused dogs from Skid Row. Of course, we talk about pet loss and navigating the grief, but we also share how to get involved and make dogs' lives better, even if you can't take a dog into your home at the moment.

Pet Loss, Part 2: Working Through the Grief & Guilt of Losing a Beloved Pet with Beth Bigler of Honoring Our Animals
For the 152nd episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Beth Bigler, pet loss grief counselor and founder of Honoring Our Animals, for part two in a three-part series on pet loss. Have you ever lost a beloved pet? It’s the worst. Scientifically, it can be as hard to grieve a pet as a parent or a partner. I lost my beloved dog, Georgia, in early December, and it was so hard for me to process — that experience inspired this series. (If you missed part one with Cherie Doyen, listen here .) One of the things that really helped me shortly after Georgia passed away was discovering an Instagram account, @honoringouranimals . I got so much reassurance and validation just from following the account, so I knew I wanted to interview its creator, Beth Bigler, for this series on pet loss. And she did not disappoint. Beth is a double-certified pet loss grief counselor, certified end-of-life animal companion doula, and pet chaplain. She works with individuals and families before, during, and after the loss of their beloved animal companion. We had a super in-depth conversation. It was not a counseling session, but Beth is clearly really good at her job, and just talking to her for this interview helped me get over a big hump in my Georgia grief. I hope it helps you too. We discuss: What does pet loss counseling actually entail? The definition of disenfranchised grief Beth’s #1 euthanasia tip How to talk to your kids about pet loss How to know if you’re ready for a new pet The spiritual questions that death can bring up Navigating the lexicon of pet grief, including the Rainbow Bridge How to be a good ally to others experiencing pet loss How you can keep your deceased pet alive in your life For more Beth Bigler: Follow Beth on Instagram @honoringouranimals Check out the Honoring Our Animals website honoringouranimals.com (Pictured with Beth is her soul cat, Arnie.)

For the 151st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Cherie Doyen of Quantum Therapeutix for part one in a three-part series on pet loss. Have you ever lost a beloved pet? It’s the worst. Scientifically, it can be as hard to grieve a pet as a parent or a partner. I lost my beloved dog, Georgia, in early December, and it was so hard for me to process — that experience inspired this series. Our first guest is Cherie Doyen, one of my best friend’s mom and a professional healer. In this conversation, Cherie explains a bit about her work healing complex trauma. We also talk about grieving our beloved dogs — my Georgia and her Nina — our dogs as protectors and the best friends we could ever have, pets mourning other pets, being visited by your dog's spirit, how hard euthanasia is for pet owners, and the fraught experience of getting another pet (or "calling in your next guide," as Cherie says.)

The Transformative Effect of Shibari Rope Bondage with Marika Leila Roux of Shibari Study
For the 144th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Marika Leila Roux, a Berlin-based Shibari practitioner & the co-founder of Shibari Study, the leader in online rope education. Shibari is Japanese rope bondage, a form of BDSM. The word broadly means "binding" or "tying." It originated from Hojo-jutsu, a torturous method of restraining captives, before morphing into the erotic bondage Kinbaku in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Marika shares her personal journey with Shibari, and we get into the origins and how it relates to Western BSDM practices, how you can practice by yourself with self-tying or solo tying, the benefits, including mindfulness and meditation, the nuances in terminology between rigger vs. rope top and rope model vs. rope bottom, misconceptions about the power dynamics, the difference between power and control, and so much more.

BEST OF: How Dancers at Star Garden Became America's Only Unionized Strippers (Velveeta's Version)
For the 141st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, a Star Garden stripper and organizer, to explain how their 15-month fight for union recognition ended in victory in May. This was the most popular episode of 2023. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club’s security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers’ rights, Star Garden’s strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club’s location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union and meet with the Actors’ Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club reopened for business as a union club in August. Star Garden’s dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.

Inside the Historic Reopening of Star Garden, Now Officially America's Only Union Strip Club
For the 127th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak takes you inside the historic reopening of Star Garden Topless Dive Bar, now officially America's only union strip club — and only the second club to unionization in the country, period, after strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden agreed to recognize the union and meet with the Actors’ Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract — and now, 3.5 months later, the club opened back up for business on Thursday, August 24th. Kocak was there to talk to dancers Selena, Wicked, and May and the lead negotiator, Andrea Hoeschen, General Counsel for Actors' Equity Association. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine was also there to sing a few songs and show his support for the strippers. Kocak and her friend Stacey were also excited to be the first customers inside when the club reopened its doors. The spark that ignited the Star Garden unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club’s security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers’ rights, Star Garden’s strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club’s location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing in May over the employer objections, but that hearing was canceled when lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden agreed to recognize the union.

Antonia Crane 2023: On the Lusty Lady Peep Show in San Francisco & Inspiring a New Wave of Unionizing Strippers
For the 124th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes writer and sex worker advocate Antonia Crane. Antonia is the founder of Strippers United (formerly Soldiers of Pole), the author of the sex work memoir Spent , and a current Ph.D. candidate at USC. As you may know from the recent episode with Velveeta of the newly unionized Star Garden strippers in North Hollywood, California, they were hugely inspired by the Lusties of the Lusty Lady in San Francisco. The Lusties were the first strippers to successfully unionize in the U.S., back in 1997. And the Star Garden dancers also got assistance from Strippers United. Antonia Crane has been involved in both of these efforts. She was one of the original co-founders of Soldiers of Pole (now Strippers United), and she helped inspire this whole new generation of activist strippers. This is part two of a two-part series. The last episode was part one, featuring an interview with Antonia from 2019, and this episode contains a follow-up interview conducted in 2023, with a lot more backstory on Antonia's experience at the Lusty Lady in the 90s.

How Dancers at Star Garden Became America's Only Unionized Strippers (Velveeta's Version)
The 15-month effort to gain union recognition by dancers employed at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood, California, ended in victory this week. For the 116th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, one of Star Garden's newly unionized strippers, to explain how this historic milestone came to be. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union, and will meet with the Actors’ Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club also will reopen for business and bring back dancers who were dismissed last year. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club’s security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers’ rights, Star Garden’s strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club’s location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing this week over the employer objections. That hearing is now unnecessary and has been canceled. Star Garden’s dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013. So that’s how the Star Garden dancers became America's only unionized strippers at the moment. Perhaps they will inspire others just like they were inspired by the Lusties.

Swinging Secrets from a Happily Married Couple: Inside Dave & Victoria Arena's 20-Year Non-Monogamy Journey
For the 114th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes happily married swingers Dave and Victoria Arena for an episode all about non-monogamy — swinging, in specific. And I have the perfect guests because they’ve been happily married and active in the lifestyle for decades. I met Dave and Victoria through a screenwriting workshop. They actually wrote a pilot for a TV series inspired by their swinger lifestyle. In real life, it began as innocent pillow talk, but when Victoria took the daring step to sign them up for a non-monogamy app, they had no idea what they were in for... But they quickly worked through that first awkward encounter and have been making it work ever since. Twenty years is a long time to be happily swinging with your partner, so in this episode, we'll learn their secrets for lasting so long in the lifestyle. We also explore how they first became swingers, their initial rules, how they prioritize their relationship, the joys of sex clubs, and the swinging scene in Cleveland, Ohio vs. New York City, plus tips for couples who want to start swinging and how to approach the conversation with your partner.

Never Too Old for Love with the Editors of "Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New Relationships After 60" Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E. Hood
For the 109th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes the co-editors of the new anthology Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New Relationships After 60 , Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E. Hood—and spoiler alert: they don’t just “work well together,” they’re an IRL couple! Often the dating stories we hear are from younger people, but the quest for love and sex doesn’t have an expiration date—and depending on how things shake out, you might find yourself back on the dating scene way later than you expected. Senior singles make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in online dating, and they’re writing a third act for themselves previous generations could never have imagined. For some, it even brings the best sex of their lives. But, of course, dating and relationships typically come with a different set of circumstances later in life. We are going to get into all the nuances with today’s guests, including dealing with death, ghosts in the bed, living apart together (incorrectly referred to as “living alone together” during the interview—our apologies!), and more. Plus, we talk about the pros and cons of becoming a parent after 40 and the preferred terminology of “older people” or older adults” versus “old,” “elderly,” or, god forbid, “geriatric.” For more from today's guests, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E.

The Lusty Lady as a Case Study for Sex Worker Social Movements with Historian & Former Lusty Jayne Swift
For the 107th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes historian and former Lusty Jayne Swift. Swift specializes in the history of sexuality, gender, and labor in the U.S., and she’s writing a book about the history of sex worker social movements in which the Lusty Lady features prominently. Currently, a strip club in North Hollywood called Star Garden is trying to unionize. But there’s a classic example of stripper unionization that’s THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013. Stay tuned for full episodes about the Lusty Lady and Star Garden in the near future, but first, we’re going to lay a little groundwork and dive into Jayne’s research on sex worker social movements and how sex workers are responsible for the rise of sex positivity and sex-positive politics/feminism.

Moms for Abortion with Robin Marty & Christine Michel Carter
Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in a devastating rollback of rights. So for the 91st episode of Private Parts Unknown, we are countering a common misconception that people who are already moms don't get abortions or aren't pro-abortion. But that's not true: According to 2019 CDC statistics, 60% of people who get abortions are already mothers. So today, host Courtney Kocak speaks with reporter, abortion activist, AND mom Robin Marty, in addition to writer, speaker, and mom activist Christine Michel Carter about why abortion access is necessary, even for people who WANT to be pregnant, how to talk to your kids about abortion, and more. Robin Marty is the author of Handbook for a Post-Racial America and the updated New Handbook for a Post-Roe America , in addition to several other books, and she's currently the director of operations for the West Alabama Women's Center. Christine Michel Carter is the author of MOM AF and Can Mommy Go To Work?

Abortion State of Disunion: Roe v. Wade Has Been Overturned, Now What?
In a very grim turn of events, Roe v. Wade was overturned by SCOTUS last week. For the 90th episode of Private Parts Unknown, we're going to hold space for that grieving process — and also hear directly from the people litigating the case and an organization at the forefront of the pro-choice movement about what this means, how we got here, and what's to come. Host Courtney Kocak gives her reaction to Friday news and shares her personal experience with abortion. Then we talk through the biggest takeaways from Friday's press conference, where the Center for Reproductive Rights and Mississippi Center for Justice discussed the devastating ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, with clips from the following speakers: Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights Julie Rikelman, Senior Director of U.S. Litigation at the Center for Reproductive Rights Hillary Schneller, Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights Robert McDuff, Mississippi Center for Justice For more from The Center for Reproductive Rights: Follow them on Instagram @reprorights Follow them on Twitter @ReproRights Check out their website reproductiverights.org Here's a playlist of our previous abortion-related episodes, including the "Men Have Abortions Too" series: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BFDkcQYzdfq5YEV5buzzO?si=19a1d68b109845dd Background: On Friday, June 24th, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, overturning the constitutional right to an abortion as protected under Roe v. Wade , which determined that every person has the right to end a pregnancy before viability—typically around 23-24 weeks. As a result of this ruling, about half the states in the country are expected to take immediate action to ban or severely restrict abortion. This case was first filed in March 2018 by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi. The lawsuit aimed to block the state’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ban was struck down by a federal district court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The state of Mississippi then asked the Supreme Court to hear the case, and arguments were held in December 2021.

Love Letter to Ukraine
For the 78th episode of Private Parts Unknown, hosts Courtney Kocak and Sofiya Alexandra are sending a love letter to Sofiya’s homeland: Ukraine — more specifically Odessa, the pearl of the Black Sea. Sofiya grew up in Odessa, Ukraine, before immigrating to the U.S. in 1994, when she was in middle school. Now, in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Sofiya revisits the place she first called home, sharing her favorite memories and cultural touchstones, why it's Ukraine instead of "the Ukraine" (which undermines the country's sovereignty), how this war has made us realize our neglect of other conflict zones, and more. This episode was inspired by Sofiya's viral Twitter thread, which struck a chord with folks eager to learn more about Ukraine during this harrowing time. We’re up for some Podca$h funding for the show, and, in addition to paying our team, we want to take a trip to Antarctica for a bucket list series about love and sexuality on the South Pole. Please write us a short love letter (just a sentence or two would be perfect!) letting them know what you love about our show. Please don’t hold back on the compliments! The deadline is Friday, March 4th. Here’s the link: https://www.podcash.com/love-letters/pLRE6 Private Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.

The Power, Politics & Freedom of Shibari Rope Bondage with Marika Leila Roux
For the 51st episode of Private Parts Unknown, your hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra welcome Marika Leila Roux, a Berlin-based Shibari practitioner & the co-founder of Shibari Study, the leader in online rope education.

We get into the origins of Shibari, the common misconception that it's an ancient Japanese art, how it relates to Western BSDM practices, self-tying or solo tying, being combined with mindfulness & meditation, the nuances in terminology between rigger vs. rope top & rope model vs. rope bottom, dominant & submissive power dynamics, plus the difference between power & control & so much more.
