We down with her for dinner after she appeared on Dan Savage. Our interview touches on a variety of subjects:
Midori talks about getting started in the city of San Francisco, how stumbling into being a sex-educator made her discover her public speaking capabilities. For the first time she publicly discusses how rope work can trigger a meditative or hallucinogenic state for the people involved in the scene. A sofa made out of blowup dolls. Comfort station: Boob headphones. How art exposed oneself more than "regular" play. Shoutout to "Miss Genevieve", which we interviewed earlier. Kink and BDSM is just "cops and robbers", with your pants off (Quote courtesy of Dan Savage). The importance of having good safewords, that one can remember, speak and hear! Tips for "beginner kink" and practical bondage tips. A good tool for people getting started is the special bondage tape which can be applied without special skills. Check for tingling feelings or signs of numbness when playing. Fortefemme can get you "drunk" on "topspace", and there will now be alumni meetings. Biking to raise awareness and funds for HIV and AIDS. The "barebacking" (consensual and non-consensual ) during swinger or poly events and the associated "magical thinking is frowned upon. Midori explains how her herpes saved her life, because having an STD forces one to explicitly negotiate the safety aspects of sex and become a more "responsible slut". Everybody should practice putting on a condom with their mouth (its also sure to get you laid). Social media is full of food porn and naked pussies.
