On episode 129 of American Sex Podcast, Cecilia Tan tells us about an infamous post-geek-convention play party organized through the first online BDSM community, alt.sex.bondage in 1991. We explore how this budding virtual leather community went on to shape sex & kink positive culture and how other contributions of Gen X set the tone for the world we live in now. Cecilia also spills the tea on the history of tea and its curious relationship with gender plus she tells us how she single-handedly created the now popular Sci-Fi Erotica genre.
