I speak, host and moderate conversations that centre pleasure, autonomy and critical joy. My talks explore sexuality through a lens of curiosity, care, and cultural critique; from the politics of porn consumption to the power of mindful masturbation.

For the 2nd edition of Porn Film Festival Amsterdam, we hosted an Industry and Community Day consisting of 3 panels, 2 performances and 1 speed date.
I hosted a panel focused on kink.
Panel write up: There is far more to kink* than the rope kisses left behind after a kinbaku session or the promising allure of subspace. Kink has the ability to help us reach more spaces within ourselves than many other practices. Within this panel, we discussed the essential element to successful, effective kink: care.
