If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to build a sex life completely on your own terms... Jamie Love is living it. And she's here to tell us everything.
Jamie is the executive director of Sex Positive World and Sex Positive Portland, a cuddle coach, a kink educator, and the newest board member of Portland Leather Alliance. She calls herself a polyamorous slut, a free agent, and... very accurately... a cat.
In this tell-all episode we get into all of it. What her sex life actually looks like right now, including six to nine regular lovers, group play at Joshua Tree, and her newest favorite kink: being a sushi table. We talk about primal play and what it actually means, the difference between romantic partners and chosen family, how she lost her taste for BDSM during the pandemic and slowly found her way back, and why sensuality is always her home base no matter what else is on the menu.
We also talk about the harder stuff... grief showing up unexpectedly at a swingers club, the ethics of facilitating vs. participating in sexy spaces, and why self-care and community care are the same thing when you're the one holding space for everyone else's pleasure.
Plus Jamie walks us through everything Sex Positive World offers, from sliding-scale online classes to big annual events like Convergence and Polytopia, and how to get involved even if you're brand new and just a little curious
