The Sanctuary of Sin Podcast
Hosted by Jayson and Rebecca (Emily Sin), The Sanctuary of Sin is a sex-positive, kink-focused, and unapologetically queer podcast exploring the worlds of BDSM, sex work, feminism, witchcraft, and all things delectably sinful.
With over a decade of experience as switches, we bring firsthand knowledge, honest reviews, and engaging discussions to the table— unpacking the roots of so-called “sins,” confronting the shame that surrounds them, and celebrating the ways our communities reclaim power through pleasure. From the psychology of dominance to the history of moral panics, we’re here to question it all.
Alongside these deep dives, we’ll keep you in the loop with reviews of the UK’s wildest events, shoutouts to the creatives and kinksters making waves, and the latest juicy news from the queer, kink, and sex positive scenes.
This podcast is a place for education, discussion, and community—where ‘sin’ isn’t shameful, but something to be embraced, explored, and understood. Welcome to The Sanctuary of Sin!
