S2E4 Intentionally Cultivating Belonging ft Kathryn Elaine

Raw Bar with Goddess Cecilia

Alien Superstar, All Up in Your Mind, and Black Velvet—no, these are not the new cast of “The Masked Singer.” And I am definitely not making things up.

These are some of the sex and pleasure toys you can already buy from the House of Bawdy. But what makes these different from all the others?

This is what we’ll talk about in the Raw Bar.

For our fourth episode, I sat down and spilled some tea (figuratively and literally) with Kathryn Elaine, the genius behind the House of Bawdy, an online shop that embraces the sexual needs and fantasies of people from various walks of life, from queer to those with disabilities.

We talked about the importance of creating products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally designed to bring pleasure and satisfaction. In the words of Kondo, those that will help spark joy.

Join us as we dive into the journey and lessons learned from starting a business in a world that seems to have very little understanding of representation.

In This Episode:

• How frustration, love, and necessity gave birth to the House of Bawdy

• The one thing to do when you want to get into the same business

• Where representation is lacking in the sex retail industry (e.g., commercial representation)

• The biggest impact of identities on choices

• The hard truth about sexuality and pleasure that people are not yet ready to hear
