A born again Southern Baptist Christian turned Pro-Dom tells all about his wild ride from seeing sexuality as a sin to seeing kink as a pathway to intimacy and true connection. Join me as we interview Mr. Paul Shaw and talk about sex, religion, BDSM, and how powerful it can be to be vulnerable with a stranger.

*Note: The word "John" is used in this episode. I realize now that is not the best term to use, and I'm linking a resource below to explain why. Instead of "John", use the word "clients", because that's what they are. Apologies to anyone who was offended, and thanks for the learning opportunity!
Why we shouldn't use the word "John" to describe sex-worker clients:
"Johns and Clients Some people call patrons of sex workers johns, while others call them clients. The term john is a historical term that holds meaning for sex workers but is often used pejoratively by others – it’s a nameless, generic and dehumanizing word used to refer to a homogenous group of men, and does not represent the individuality and diversity of our clients. The term also makes invisible the relationships between sex workers and those who purchase our services – that of customers and service providers. By contrast the term clients is not only more respectful and accurate it also reinforces the labour context of sex work."
