For those so inclined to listen to me talk about erotica, academia, motherhood, sex, books and life, here is the link to my first radio interview on LA Talk Radio:
(Scroll down to April 20, 2011)
It was a fun experience and the last-minute scheduling was probably a good thing, otherwise I might have been ridiculously nervous. I haven’t actually listened to the interview yet-- I’m not sure I can. I heard the first couple of minutes, but I hate listening to myself. I hope I sounded like I knew what I was talking about. (Though I’ve been informed by Jeremy Edwards that I use the word “behooved” and I honestly don’t recall ever using that word in my entire life, so I must have been channeling someone else.)
Love the subject line!! : ) : )
I wrote it just for you, J!
That was wonderful! I particularly liked your explanation of subbing as being about giving yourself over to someone you trust, wanting to be overwhelmed by them. You made it sound like a profoundly romantic experience - and I do think it is, but this aspect so often gets overlooked. D/s has such a strong image - all the whips, chains and costuming - and it’s easy for people to be blinded by that aspect and consequently be baffled why anyone might find it appealing. Personally, I think there’s something very tender at the heart of power exchange.
Anyway, a great interview!
I think you’re channeling the character of Muffy Tepperman from the TV show Square Pegs. It behooved her to say the word “behooved” on a regular basis.
I loved Square Pegs, so you may be right!! Wow… talk about a flashback.
