Vetting, Community, & Tights

Vetting, Community, & Tights w/ Calpi

In this episode of the Subspace Exploration Project Todd sits down with Calpi for a proper introduction. Ahead of part two of our talk about age gap dynamics, consent & communication, and the Lily Philips documentary, we realized we should take a moment to introduce our audience to our friend Calpi.

Calpi is a multi-disciplinary artist and maker who grew up homeless in the Pacific Northwest. They have self published their comic "No Futures", worked diligently with various anti-fascist mutual aid groups, and served the community as a mental health focused organizational coach for high-need and low-income clients.

Vetting, Community, & Tights w/ Calpi Episode Transcript

In the age gap relationships that I've seen, there is a very fine line between grooming and guiding.

That's why when someone gets the itch, and I've been teaching them, I back the hell off, like, super fast.

Because I don't want to be that person putting pressure on them to be and enjoy something that they dislike or are actively triggered by.

In this episode of The Subspace Exploration Project, Todd gets personal with Razzum Frazzum as we prepare to dive into the Josh Pieters documentary on Only Fans star Lily Phillips and the Back From the Borderline podcast analysis of the event, Todd talks group play and ethical concerns about age gap dynamics.

As a Dom with more life experience, how do we best respond to doubt and discomfort from a younger partner?

This talk is the first in a series of conversations on consent, autonomy, and our urge to pathologize other people's sexual expression.

The Subspace Exploration Project is a personal yet public dive into kink, BDSM, sex, neurodivergence, gender expression, and the queer community.

Let's get into it.



Do you have personal stories and observations you would like to share about kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, and where neurodivergence, mental health, gender expression, community, and politics all intersect?

Maybe you have a request for a topic or a guest.

We welcome people in these communities to reach out to let us know how we're doing, to share their stories and interests, and help us to shape how we contribute to healthy, informative conversations on sex, kink, non-monogamy, and queer culture.

We would love for our fellow kinksters, E&M, and queer people to ask questions, make content requests, and share your stories.

You can remain anonymous or if you'd like to be a guest on the podcast, shoot us an email and let us know a little bit about you.
