This is The Subspace Exploration Project.
Join us for a deep dive into kink, non-monogamy, mental and emotional health, gender expression, and community building.
In each episode, we're deconstructing the gender binary, celebrating queer culture, and creating a safe space for sex education, all while learning from authors, educators, mental health professionals, and folks like you and me.
In this week's episode, Clay, Ronen, and Todd joined Dani and Victoria at the Sabersmyth House for a screening of the kink-themed adult content they produce with care and purpose.
Coming from a place of community, compassion, and exploring the best and worst sides of ourselves in healthy ways, Dani makes true art out of kink, BDSM, and sexual expression.
We are honored that they shared this with us and have invited our team to share in this art, intimacy, and communication.
Let's jump into it.
But that seems pretty good.
Yeah.
Well, I think what I'm going to do is like, when we get this all done, like I'm probably going to do another version of this in the foreground.
I'm probably going to get this all done, or learn some things about how that's working, what's not working, and then do just like basically treat this as a prototype, do another version and that will be yours.
But yeah, I'm feeling really good about the construction and the lining, and you can sort of like on each one of these themes, there's been a lot of consideration to sort of figure out and make sure it's like talked, right?
Totally.
But so the next stage is going to be, I'm going to have you try it on and we're going to remove some of this back material.
So that when we tie it together, it will like properly coarsen.
And there's definitely like it bumps out a little bit with this seam.
I noticed that on mine too, what I was hearing on too.
So I'm just going to adjust the shape on the final one.
Yeah.
Just hammer it down.
Once we get this cut and we actually get it tied on, it's amazing how much this leather is going to stretch and start to mold to your head.
So we'll see how much of that stuff is still a problem, unless it's actually able to be laced.
I'm going to give you all just a quick little summary of like, how this all started and kind of like what it's been for us.
And then you can hop in and ask any questions.
Yeah.
So yeah, like definitely the leather business started first, and then we were just advertising for the leather.
And it was really like, it became pretty apparent that showing people using it was the best way to sell it like to show what they could do.
And then it kind of like it brought up a lot of like latent, like cinema autism that I was sitting on.
And yeah, I just like really quickly like learned that when I'm working with models and working with people who, you know, I'm not necessarily a model, so we're modeling for me, but like people that I'm portraying, it's always like, there's a relationship between me and their deeper expression.
And like that's like their deeper expression becomes like, something to protect for me, and something to like celebrate and broadcast.
And that's really what this is all about.
It's like, each time that I go into one of these projects, I usually don't really know what I'm filming before it begins.
And then it just, and like Victoria's had a chance to work with me a couple of times, so she gets, she knows what I'm talking about.
Like it starts off, it like usually starts off with like a costume idea, or maybe like a prop, or like a thing that we're trying to promote.
Like the paddle, for example, the one that Victoria made.
And then it was just like, and then it was just like, what is the expression that's trying to happen?
What is the like, what is the deeper part of self that that person is trying, trying to get out?
And so like, how do I, how do I like show reverence to that?
And so this is, we've, I've made a handful so far, and this is something we're looking forward to keep on doing, and going to the future.
And in fact, what you're sitting in right now is really what's going to become the studio.
Cool.
Yeah.
So yeah.
So we're in the studio.
Yeah.
So we're really like, we're paying a lot of care to like, decorate this place to be film ready.
You know, one of the reasons I have dark blue walls is because, you know, like, people are great in front of dark blue walls for the most part, you know, you can get a lot of contrast and like, so yeah, just like working on creating this space to be our studio and then the leather shop outside.
So the whole thing is going to be like really like holistic in this place being like a place to build and broadcast what Sabersmyth is all about.
That's awesome, that's nice.
I wish you could claim your house because that's being a place to film scenes.
Sorry, did we trap?
To film scenes.
It means quite a bit of-
Is it like an old house?
It's an old house, yeah, it's quite an old one.
I don't know what house it is.
But during the day, like the lighting is great, the natural lighting, and I mean, there are issues with the acoustics, but they're way too good.
The right type of furniture and great things kind of help with that.
Ever since Todd touched my skin, he's been wanting to actually give me a piercing, that in order to clip on, I'm like, oh my goodness.
And I was like, oh, how convenient.
That's a genius.
That's so cute.
I love that.
I was like, I'll consider it.
Maybe.
Todd, I'm stealing that idea.
Does that qualify as a podcast king?
I think so.
All right, are we ready for this?
Yeah.
Without further ado.
So I absolutely see what I need from that now is like, okay, and how's your thighs feel afterwards?
What was it like gripping around that fucking mossy trunk, you know?
Each and every one of those thoughts.
Yeah, I'll pass those questions along.
Thank you.
That was beautiful.
Yeah, so that was the backyard in Logsdon.
That was really where, like, where a lot of Sabersmyth got going was there.
And that was a huge inspiration was being there.
I mean, just like being able to go up in those woods and do our photo shoots up there, doing video up there, having the privacy to do it.
We had five acres of private land to play on.
So we didn't have to, like...
Because one thing getting out of nature in public, if risk is your thing.
Risk is not my thing.
I like being in nature, but like the risk of being caught does not turn me on.
Yeah, so I haven't, I haven't, like, I haven't really enjoyed the thought of being caught.
I think it's the thought of like an appreciative audience.
But that is not something I know is the truth.
If I'm in a public situation where I don't know everybody around me.
Yeah.
Or why they're there or, you know.
Yeah.
There's only so much.
A lot can be gained by having some spaces that are rentable to like, you know, for like your predator prey chase scene.
Yeah.
Somewhere that you know you're not going to be seen and like that's, but it can still be in nature because that's like, that's really hard to find.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I just want to run in the woods screaming for my life naked and like nobody call the cops.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Is that really too much to ask?
Everybody chill.
I'm going to go and hop into the next one.
Yeah.
Oh, just, there's like some slight consensual non-consent in this one, and there will be more in one later.
Is everybody want to see that?
Okay.
And there's also some piss play.
Good.
Yay.
Candles, spanking.
Yeah, I just had to do a family edit of our quarterly dynamic review, and I had to edit out all the references to piss and come, because we want to be able to share-
well, we're sharing it with family and some friends.
So, yeah, I think that's all the trigger warnings that are.
That's a little closet of sorts.
Funny story.
I don't know if we can tell that story on camera though.
Are we all good for three more?
Yeah.
Is that?
All right, cool.
All right, let's go to then Defiance.
All-star cast.
It's the only one with both Dean and blood.
We watched this like five times in a row, the first time.
What was that chest harness you were wearing in the last one?
It was the bulldog.
Quite awesome.
When the hood is done, I would love to collaborate on doing a scene.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure, I would love that.
Oh yeah.
Thoughts?
I don't know where he's running out of my mail.
Yeah, I would really love that.
Absolutely.
Any questions about that one?
I assume y'all were going into it with like, obviously, it's called Defiance and there was a bit of Defiance, I don't know.
You know, most of the titles I get when I'm at a Dean.
Like, there was just that one scene, yeah, that one scene where she just looks up, and she's like, when she's being flogged, and there was like so much Defiance in her eyes, and I'm just like, I'm like, oh, that's the title right there.
Yeah, I assume you don't name a song before you write it.
Yeah, I think on that one, what we had, like what we did know going into that, we knew basically what the set was and like what the costumes were, and that we were going to do some sort of interrogation-y thing.
Yeah, and then, yeah, the rest happened.
Yeah.
Well, then Dean showed up, ran a fucking red handkerchief in his back pocket.
I'm like, I guess we're doing fisting then.
We can't just ignore that.
I didn't see Dean doing any fisting.
No, he just brought the prompt.
Just submitted the prompt.
I know.
He didn't even know.
He was just like, he was like, oh, she's wearing it.
I was like, do you not know about it?
I guess.
Thanks a lot.
Now we have to do it.
Now I have to fist.
Oh, no.
I love it when like Dani takes their shirt off, and then a few seconds later, Jamie's like, yeah, okay.
You see now the kind of work that we're doing here, like it's really like it has to be in a flow.
It's not something that I can like clock into.
Yeah, that's why I need to move into a space like, my living room is already my play area and work area, but it's not a place to film.
But I want to be constantly filming because of the amazing shit that happens.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, I'll bring my friends over and share at least witness the experience.
But it's a small apartment on campus, it looks like shit.
Yeah.
Well, we'll definitely talk about it as I'm filming here, because that's the idea of this space is to make a studio.
Yeah.
The most wholesome porn I've ever seen.
Oh yeah, Spooze porn?
Yeah.
Really?
Why don't you make some chicken noodle soup for somebody for when they're sick.
It's just the way Dani, like, captures people.
Yeah.
And just, like, gives them a safe place to just be.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
I don't know.
I do think there's a difference.
I think that I'm recognizing that, like, fundamentally, the way that I shoot.
Like, I see, I'm, like, dissecting what makes porn porny to me, what makes porn, like, not, like, porny in a bad way, you know?
Porn in a corny way.
Yeah.
Porn in a, like, yeah, what is it about porn, right?
Like, what is it about porn?
And, and I think a huge part of it that I've noticed is, like, if you go into a scene with, like, with a real goal in mind, you know, with a script and it's obvious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so, like, I shoot everything, like, pretty, like, documentary style, to be honest.
And that's, you're going to see it come out in this next one.
It starts to, like, like, it starts to, like, reveal that, like, format a little bit more.
But, like, yeah, like, we're really trying to capture something that's happening between two people or more, you know.
Two plus people.
Or less, you know, whatever.
But, like, like, what, what?
But, like, I realize what I'm really trying to do here is not trying to create a product, which I think is what makes porn important.
It's trying to create a product, like, that is actually a, you know, sort of like a visual sex toy.
Whereas what I'm trying to do is more like it is documentary.
I'm trying to like, I'm trying to explore what sexuality is, what human sexuality is.
I'm trying to do that through this medium.
Yeah.
And yeah, so let's get this next one.
I think creatively this one's my favorite.
This one is maybe the most fun.
No, I can't rank them.
I forget that.
I never said anything.
Anyway, I love you.
There is something that gets me so much more when it's not necessarily an explicit sexual act.
You know, and it's like shit, like someone's just like you're undressed in the middle of the cold ass fucking woods and someone's smearing nasty fucking mud on you.
But also like gazing at you.
Yes.
The way they look at each other, the way they interact, like it's just like so good.
I'm like, even though like I can see that it fucking sucks, the giggles and the laughing and the silliness that happens through it is.
It's very real.
It's very real.
Very fucking good.
It's always my favorite.
It was so good working with them.
They brought such amazing energy.
That one was really fun to do.
First off, I'll pass y'all the secret map to that later.
It's summer time.
I'm sure it will be a lot less cold.
It's a fun spot.
But we shot it, and then we came back here, and we went and set up in the bathtub upstairs, and recreated a bunch of shots.
And that's how we got the really close up, like really high resolution shots that come off so ethereal in that.
And it's just because those are the ones that I used studio lighting on and got the really dialed in shots.
And then I edited it together.
And that's also where I did the bathtub dunking stuff.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think I've been...
I wasn't even like really living here yet.
I was just kind of like crashing on the couch still.
And I was like, I was like, I got some friends coming in from out of town.
Is it cool if we like made a porn about it?
And just do a quick porn upstairs.
Yeah, and like so...
Bricks and dirt.
Shryla was here having a migraine day and couldn't join us.
And so we just went out and did the thing out there, and then we came back.
And all of a sudden, next thing you know, I'm like running upstairs with like dishes of mud.
Like, do you have like a fish tank or something?
I need to like sink the camera down in the bathtub.
I'm just like, what the fuck?
I'm just like in the bathtub with like a fish tank with like a bunch of rocks like for weight and my camera in it.
And like all of the duck is like pissing in the bathtub.
I'm like...
Shit.
Yeah, it was a fun day.
So good.
The transitions are perfect.
That was so much fun to edit.
Ah, so good.
Let me think of that photo shoot I did with Andrew like two years ago.
Another dog that I had who also does like photography.
And we did like a rope shoot out near a waterfall in like Deschutes forest or something.
Or maybe it was Hood National Forest.
Whatever.
Yeah, I think you said it was Hood.
Yeah, it was really cold.
It was really, really cold out, but we were wearing pretty much nothing.
So as we do.
Yes, you do.
So this one is a bit of like an homage.
Have you all seen the Duke of Burgundy?
No.
Oh, you're missing out.
Yeah.
But French Femdom.
Oh, movie?
Yeah.
Like early 18?
No.
No, it's like the.
But I don't know.
I think we did it better anyway.
So you don't miss it much.
Well, now I have to go and watch the Duke of Burgundy.
So you were recreating a scene?
So actually, no, this all started from a picture we saw on our slash Victorian kink, or like Victorian Gone Wild.
I don't know, one of those things, but it's just like this school marm with a little girl bent over a chair with skirt up and spanking.
And then this happened.
And I ran home and grabbed my Mary Poppins costume.
You have a Mary Poppins costume?
I was loving the addition of like the tampon string without it being like, and there's a tampon string, what are we going to do with it?
You know, like it's just there.
Just because play can still happen and that can also be happening as well.
Yeah.
So that was fucking awesome.
And you look so fucking good.
Thank you.
Yeah, that was super fun.
I just wanted to play dress up.
Yeah.
And?
You want to play a role?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Kate's corny's.
So far.
Two days.
That is awesome shit.
Next one's going to have my Supra in it, right?
That one's going to be all right.
My Supra, the 80s race car out in the driveway.
Oh, shit.
Oh, that's yours, huh?
So the next film is going to be me making a strap-on for Victoria, filming in the shop, and just talking about life and ourselves.
And then we're going to, and the strap-on is going to match her car.
Because if you've ever seen the way she drives her car, that car is definitely her dick.
So I'm going to make a strap-on that's going to say Super across the back, and it's going to have the emblem on the front.
And then we're going to film her fucking me in it.
Good.
And we're going to inter-splice that with a bunch of footage of her driving.
That is such a good fucking thing.
I cannot wait.
Yeah.
So that's what we've been doing.
That's really impressive.
That's the porn.
It's very fun.
Trying to do something different.
More like, I want to learn the lines of what is porn.
Like, is that porn?
I don't know.
Yeah.
That's a fucking great question.
Like, I don't know.
But I thought about that myself, where it's like a fucking con.
It's porn as fuck.
I mean, porn is erotic art.
It's about sex.
Yeah.
It's about sex, and it's only about sex.
Yeah.
I think that's it.
I think in that way, it makes it porn.
Yeah.
But also, like I said, like the Lucky Boy, to me, that's 100 percent documentary, right?
Like, that is their dynamic.
That is a genuine dynamic.
I was not directing that.
No, you were just capturing.
I was capturing something really genuine and real about humanity and about sexuality, and just trying to be the observer.
And in that way, I feel like that's 100 percent documentary.
That's some of what we want to do with this BDSM-101 project is film complete scenes.
This would be the, I mean, some of it would be available for free or at least excerpts of some of it.
But the bonus content for subscribers would be the negotiations to Aftercare.
And then, you know.
The commentary.
Yeah, behind the scenes commentary from everybody who's involved in the scene.
You know, explaining why.
So like the less directed, the better probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you want to be real.
Yeah.
You're trying to capture a real experience and explain the real experience as best as you can.
That's the strategy that I've heard of working really well in monetizing social media in general.
Or just media, because everything is social media at this point.
Just monetizing media at this point is...
Basically, what you're paying for is to be more intimate.
You're basically paying for more behind the scenes, you pay for more...
You can get directed corny shit.
Exactly, but to get that full experience.
Yeah, like the pre-
Yeah.
