Isn’t BDSM just the Addams Family filmed in a dark 24 hour Fitness, but with sex equipment? Suspended with rope from a vaulted ceiling on Folsom Street Fair Eve, scientist and storyteller Lesley Jones yawns and fears she’s gotten too jaded for kink. Yet as she hangs there, she remembers the body issues she encountered at her first Leather event, and all the personal growth she’s gained from her years of submission. #BodyConfidence #PowerExchange #Humiliation #Flogger #HotTopic   About the storyteller:   Lesley Jones is a scientist, burner, hedonist and storyteller based in Seattle. If she were a dungeons and dragons character, her alignment would be lawful good in the streets, chaotic good in the sheets. She has performed with Bawdy Storytelling, RISK!, The Moth, The Mystery Box, and was featured on Dan Savage's Hot Mic podcast. You can find her on Twitter @science__patrol, or leaving roses and invitations to come play board games outside your door at night.     Song: ‘No Fear for Nobody’ (Maneskin) Episode links:   Uberlube: Uberlube is a luxurious, high-grade silicone lubricant made from clean, body-friendly ingredients; it’s just silicone with a little Vitamin E.
