BDSM often gets a bad rap in pop culture, notably exacerbated by the problematic portrayal in 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Determined to shift the narrative, Anna and Gregor sit down with kinky documentary director Todd Max Carey to talk about his latest project, 'Touch Kink,' a film that explores real-world BDSM and fetishism. Carey tells the story of how he got into BDSM and why it was so important for him to bring the stories of other kinky people to the big screen. Tune in as they navigate through Carey's personal journey, the importance of authentic representation, and the impact of his work in normalizing kink within the community.
