This is a remastered rebroadcast of an episode I published in January 2019 with Luther, discussing race play. I’m bringing this conversation back to the front because it needs to be heard again. I am also offering my platform (podcast) to BIPOC folx interested in amplifying their voice—interviews, prerecorded audio, podcast episodes—I’m happy to rebroadcast on your terms.

From the original episode description: Luther talks about his introduction to the sex positive communities, having been taken to a swingers resort in Cancun, where his first experiences of being a bull for couples began. He opens up about his darker experiences thereafter where some couples began engaging him in nonconsensual race play, dropping the n-bomb on him during sex, fetishizing and tokenizing him, leaving him feeling ultimately degraded. Luther discusses the complex feelings of being disempowered and used as a dispensable and replaceable fetish object during vulnerable moments of intimacy. He examines how racism has disrupted his sense of identity as a person, and his attempts to regain his identity through interactions with good people, good experiences, and explorations of pleasure in the sex positive communities.
