Welcome to Episode 430 of the Sexology Podcast! Today, I'm excited to be joined by Lynn Lohide, a professional body piercer and needle play educator. Lynn speaks to me about the fascinating world of needle play - what it is, how it's practiced safely, and the deeper emotional and psychological connections people have with it.
In our conversation, Lynn shares how their journey into professional piercing led them to discover the erotic and ritualistic aspects of needle play. We explore the ways in which controlled pain can serve as a tool for self-discovery, healing, and even reclaiming one's body.
Lynn has been professionally piercing since 2011, facilitating body suspensions since 2013, and doing play piercings since 2013. They have a passion for everything hook and piercing related, and since their first piercing they have been immensely drawn to the craft.
