CYBERSPACE—Author/engineer Jane Boon, Ph.D., author of Edge Play, described as "where The Big Short meets Fifty Shades of Grey," will be the guest moderator of this week's session of Twitter-based chat show #SexTalkTuesday, which will take place tomorrow, April 20, centering on the topic of “Sex Work and Kink in the Popular Culture.” The chat will run from 8-9 p.m. ET/5-6 p.m. PT.
Before diving into writing erotica, Boon studied technology and policy at MIT, and later received a Ph.D. in industrial engineering. Boon has also written for several mainstream publications including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, Time.com, McSweeneys.net and TravelandLeisure.com.
“We are beyond thrilled to have Jane return to #SexTalkTuesday. This is such a timely topic, as the themes of sex work and kink increasingly appear in our cultural zeitgeist,” said Angie Rowntree, owner of Sssh.com and producer of #SexTalkTuesday.
"Often, our first exposure to sexual content is through pop culture,” Boon stated. “I remember the first time I saw a dominatrix on television, for instance. I was transfixed by her confidence and her clothes. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play a dominatrix on the Fox television show Gotham, and the experience came full circle. I look forward to discussing those sizzling pop culture moments that inspire and intrigue."
Rowntree added, “Many Sssh subscribers and #SexTalkTuesday participants frequently bring up both the positive and negative portrayals of sex and the sex industry that they notice, so this segment will undoutedly resonate with both fans and content creators.”
