Connection, intimacy, and consent, this week the B&B pod talks with an educator with more than 30 years of experience. He tells us about his career transition from IT to kink/sexuality education and changes in the kink community. Listen and learn about his model of negotiated power vs. structural power, giving and receiving in relationships, and modes of consent. Our free-spirited conversation with Max touches on age gap relationships, intention and identity in kink, and saying yes when you should say no.


The Guest

Max has been active in Seattle's kink community since 1992 and has taught workshops and offered private coaching since 1999. He has spent a lifetime building a range of skills, to include the intimacy of rope bondage, the intensity of the singletail, the connection of erotic hypnosis, and the power of authority-transfer (D/S) relationships. Max is always the consummate professional. He loves what he does and is grateful for opportunities to help others explore kink and find deeper connection. Find him at www.ExploreYourKink.com
