With the US Release of "Playing to Lose: How a Jehovah's Witness Became a Submissive BDSM Model," Ariel Anderssen returns to the show to discuss challenging the norms set by society and how she is thriving in doing so.
Here is what the book is all about:
PLAYING TO LOSE: How a Jehovah’s Witness Became a Submissive BDSM Model
In this bold and intimate memoir Ariel Anderssen charts her journey from a strict, religious upbringing as a Jehovah’s Witness to her current position as one of the most widely recognized BDSM performers in the world.
Her route between the two includes a period as a wretchedly miserable, teenage political activist, a phase touring with a Christian theatre group, and accidentally discovering a talent for posing for art nude photography.
This surprising and unconventional career path led her to a life-altering introduction to BDSM-themed erotic artwork and a whole world she never imagined existing.
This is a book about BDSM, and about sexuality, but most of all it is about one woman’s struggle for self-acceptance and the rewards that come from confronting who you are with honesty and compassion.
