340 - How Everything Tastes: a conversation about how the patriarchy affects kink & BDSM

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week we sat down with Russian professional dominatrix, Mistress Smash, who tells us all about how she came into being a Pro Domme, as well as unpacking the influences of capitalism, patriarchy, homophobia, and ableism. Finally, we cover sadism, personal versus professional play, and how the patriarchy colors people’s kink experiences. </span></p> <p><a href="http://www.mistresssmash.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mistress Smash’s website</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Find her on all socials as @schmooshed (Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, FetLife, OnlyFans, Fansly)</span></p> <p><a href="https://campsite.bio/dickwound"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Dick’s links</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://campsite.bio/bidaily"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Gwen’s links</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://ocpkink.manyvids.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Buy our porn on ManyVids</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out our sponsors for this week,</span> <a href= "https://www.securingsexuality.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Securing Sexuality</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and</span> <a href= "https://terribletoyshop.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Terrible Toyshop.</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">You can find</span> <a href= "https://terribletoyshop.com/shop/impact/whips-and-cables/the-stinger-stingy-bdsm-whip/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The Stinger here!</span></a></p> <p><a href="http://patreon.com/ocpkink"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Keep us on the air by donating a buck or two to our Patreon!</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">You can listen to an ad-free version of the show a week early, and you’ll have access to our Discord server.
