Talking Kink With Alex + Ellie – Details, episodes & analysis

At first blush, you may think that all sexualities are openly accepted today and the only debates around it are between those who want to accept everyone for who they are, and those who don't believe we should be in charge of our own lives if they don't follow rigid tradition. But that's not necessarily true. This week, we sit down with our friend and author Christian Pan to talk about bisexuality and the past, present, and future of those who embrace this identity.

The very first working photo cameras were announced in 1839, the first nude was shot less than a year later, and by 1851, nudes of models for artists and appreciative viewers became routine. In other words, as long as cameras existed, we wanted to get naked in front of them. But why?
