The KLE Collective Podcast: Kinky London History with Freya Alvar
Finally, the Season 3 finale of the Kinky London Podcast is out! September brings us back to school, and boy do we have an educational episode for you…. Our host Nikki D is joined by Ms Freya Alvar who takes us on a journey through the kinky history of London. From Roman orgies to Stew Houses and Spanking Houses, this is one class you’ll be paying close attention to.
Nikki and Freya discuss how rules and regulations changed throughout time when it comes to sex work in the city of London. Hear them compare the ways in which workers used to advertise their services and how clients would find them – a far cry from the digital world we rely on today. Listen in to find out why London is, and always has been, the place to be for fun and debauchery (as if you didn’t already know).
Freya is a lifelong learner and academic who loves historical research, particularly surrounding the history of kink, fetish and sex work – her passion really comes through in this episode and we’re so glad we had the pleasure of having her on the podcast!
