What happens when you open your marriage after 35 years and start exploring kink at 60?
In this episode of The Erotic Realm, I speak with Hawthorn a 66 year old genderqueer pagan who describes themselves as a bottom leaning switch, sensual sadist, sensation slut, and erotic exhibitionist.
We explore:
What it means to be a switch later in life
Reichian psychology, gender evolution, and spiritual kink
Defining sexual satisfaction beyond orgasm
Sensation play, demisexuality, and “talking scenes”
How erotic ritual and pagan practice intersect
Why being fully seen is the most underrated form of erotic nourishment
Plus, Hawthorn reads from one of their own erotic writings live on the show. Research Article: What is Sexual Satisfaction? Thematic Analysis of Lay People's Definitions

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
