Sexual desire is a powerful thing. It shapes us in ways we may not even be aware. Many psychologists agree that it is the core of who we are as people. What turns you on is all about your hopes and dreams so it’s worth reflecting on and making art about it.

Today teacher, comedian and bondage babe Miss Tamale Sepp joins to talk about her recently finished MFA thesis, “Bound and Determined,” an installation of self-help books beautifully tied up with red ropes in Japanese bondage style and a performance piece where she reenacts a day in the life of a sadomasochistic high school teacher.

Listen as we talk with Tamale about how the torturous qualities of schools may actually benefit us and ancient forms of Asian erotic role play.

The editors for the online magazine Nerve.com thought it would be hilarious to have their intern go on assignments exploring the outlandish, extreme or unusual in sex.

And thus the column “I Did It for Science” was born. After three successful years Grant left the magazine amid talks of Viacom wanting to turn his stories into a television show, but then the pilot never came to fruition.

Today we’re talking with the “accidental sex-tourist” Grant Stoddard about his book “Working Stiff: The Misadventures of an Accidental Sexpert.”

Listen as Grant shares his sordid tales trying out a broad range of sexual fetishes like infantilism, sploshing, latex shrink wrapping, bondage and making out with twelve gay men in a bar while his girlfriend watched.

Did we mention this guy identifies himself as straight so far?

We’ve seen everyone from Marlon Brando to Madonna wearing the sexy leather gear, but where did all begin?

Today we’re talking to Leather Historian and 2007 International Mr. Leather Finalist Mark Austin about the history of Leather subculture, from the post World War II era to AIDS, from the Stonewall riots all the way to the modern day.

His four part lecture series called Leather 101, the History of Leather will be held at the Center on Halsted starting April 22 and continuing for the next three consecutive weeks.

Mark Austin is taking your questions about Leather and sexual fetishes via the Feast of Fun page on Facebook.

What’s the difference between the old guard and new guard? Isn’t it all just about having fun? How is the internet affecting the leather scene? Why do leather guys go through so much trouble for an orgasm? What color hankies does Mark like to wear?

PLUS Mark shares with you his tips and tricks on winning the leather contest.
