Meet Jane Grey, Dominatrix and Co-Founder of the Scene and Unscene events. Listen in as Jane opens up about how validation, agency and recognition, drivers behind her acting career, influence her approach to domination; about her plans for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; and how acting school shunned female sexuality. Eva Oh and Jane discuss the place of acting in a session, if they might be able to submit and how they've tried to escape the ego through the names that they've chosen. We hear about cultural theatrics and how they could shape a Dominatrix's ability and the different ways these two Dominatrices structure their businesses.

This week on the #teakink Podcast, Eva Oh sits down with Mathilde Friis, curator and PhD researcher of art, sexuality, and sex work. We follow Mathilde into her early days, researching in a sex shop, and delve into the creative process behind sex work. We discover the contradictions in how society commodifies creativity while stigmatizing sex, and explore topics like slut-shaming on social media and the range of artistic interpretations of sex work. Mathilde also reflects on purity, danger, cultural etiquette, and why sexuality continues to spark controversy, challenging societal notions of monstrosity and taboo along the way.

Eva Oh visits Dubai and is reminded of her first trip there in a previous life before her career as a Dominatrix. A life that included research work in Afghanistan, time at the United Nations and perhaps a thread that is still very consistent. A thread of curiosity, naivety, fearlessness and navigating the edge of life to feel out what could be. Watch this #teakink episode for an insight into Eva’s life before becoming a Professional Mistress.

Eva Oh and Vex of Four Chambers dive into a conversation about the sometimes messy and always fascinating intersections of sex, art, and identity. From how performance challenges embodiment in sexuality, to how burnout hits when your work revolves around desire. We journey through Vex's cyber goth era and chatroom nostalgia to inducing lactation for a porn series, as she opens up about her values, and the shifts shaping porn today.
