Save 10% on your next Fleshlight with Promo Code: 10PRIVATE at fleshlight.com. For the 227th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes the co-editors of the new anthology Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New Relationships After 60, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E. Hood—and spoiler alert: they don’t just “work well together,” they’re an IRL couple! Often, the dating stories we hear are from younger people, but the quest for love and sex doesn’t have an expiration date—and depending on how things shake out, you might find yourself back on the dating scene way later than you expected. Senior singles make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in online dating, and they’re writing a third act for themselves that previous generations could never have imagined. For some, it even brings the best sex of their lives. Though, of course, dating and relationships come with a different set of circumstances later in life. We are going to get into all the nuances with today’s guests, including dealing with death, ghosts in the bed, living apart together (incorrectly referred to as “living alone together” during the interview—our apologies!), and more. Plus, we talk about the pros and cons of becoming a parent after 40 and the preferred terminology of “older people” or older adults” versus “old,” “elderly,” or, god forbid, “geriatric.” For more from today's guests, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E.

For the 224th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes adult film performer and activist Siri Dahl. In this episode, we delve into the impact of conservative anti-porn legislation, including Project 2025 and the Kids Online Safety Act, on the adult entertainment industry and sex workers. Siri offers insight into how the industry has evolved over the past decade, from the rise of platforms like OnlyFans to the increasing censorship and regulation of online adult content through age verification laws. She explains how these laws, under the guise of protecting children, are actually a backdoor attempt to ban pornography and criminalize sex work. Siri also shares her thoughts on the cultural stigma surrounding sex work, the challenges sex workers face in finding "civilian" employment, and the ongoing fight against piracy and content theft. Tune into the Corn Telethon, a 24-hour livestream on Thursday, September 4th, to raise awareness about the free speech rollback thanks to Project 2025, as well as funds for sex worker organizations.

For the 220th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Marika Leila Roux, a Berlin-based Shibari practitioner & the co-founder of Shibari Study, the leader in online rope education. Shibari is Japanese rope bondage, a form of BDSM. The word broadly means "binding" or "tying." It originated from Hojo-jutsu, a torturous method of restraining captives, before morphing into the erotic bondage Kinbaku in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Marika shares her personal journey with Shibari, and we get into the origins and how it relates to Western BSDM practices, how you can practice by yourself with self-tying or solo tying, the benefits, including mindfulness and meditation, the nuances in terminology between rigger vs. rope top and rope model vs. rope bottom, misconceptions about the power dynamics, the difference between power and control, and so much more.

For the 219th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Margo Steines, author of Brutalities: A Love Story. In this interview, we discuss Margo's experience as a dominatrix, sex work then vs. now, the toxic societal pressures on women's bodies in the 90s and how that resulted in eating disorders for both of us, her stint as a high-rise welder, advice she would give her former self about an abusive relationship, what it was like to be pregnant during the pandemic, how she feels about motherhood, and more. Here's the description of Brutalities: Quarantined in a southwestern desert city in the midst of her high-risk pregnancy, Margo Steines felt her life narrow around her growing body, compelling her to reckon with the violence entangled in its history. She was a professional dominatrix in New York City, a homestead farmer in a brutal relationship, a welder on a high-rise building crew, and a mixed martial arts enthusiast; each of her many lives brought a new perspective on how power and masculinity coalesce―and how far she could push her body toward the brink. With unflinching candor, Steines searches for the roots of her erstwhile attraction to pain while charting the complicated triumph of gentleness and love.

Hannah opens up about her unconventional childhood, including being abandoned by her mother, living with her poet father, experiencing sexual abuse as a child, and (of course) a stint on a commune. She also shares her entry into sex work, first as a call girl and then as a stripper, working alongside her sister, why she started using crystal meth, and how she finally got sober after losing a decade to addiction. We discuss Hannah's current perspective on the changing cultural attitudes towards sex work, how her family reacted to the book’s contents, and how writing the memoir was healing in that it coincided with her recovery yet also came with the emotional challenges of revisiting past traumas.

In this interview, she unpacks her takeaways from the lawsuits, including the coercion tactics used by the company, the psychological toll on the young women involved, the disturbing victim-blaming that occurred, and the cultural attitudes that allowed Girls Gone Wild to flourish with little accountability. We also discuss the fine line between empowerment and exploitation. Courtney shares her own behind-the-scenes experience working for Girls Gone Wild and its long-term impact, contrasting that world with today’s more self-directed platforms like OnlyFans.
