Join CRUDE where we mercilessly deconstruct love, s3x, bodies, and relationships using our own experiences and the thoughts of others. Slutty academics Frank and Misty are joined in Berlin by Elle, an activist, and avid partygoer Effie based in London.
We’ll delve into topics intrinsic to modern relationships, sexual self-awareness, and the world of kink in liberal cities in the 21st century. The hosts are currently active and immersed in sex-positive scenes across Europe, meaning they date and meet a range of fizzing and wonderful people. The increasing influence of kink on mainstream attitudes towards sex and relationships means CRUDE's exploration provides listeners with an essential and entertaining examination of their own desires, passions, and the situationships that ensue.

#48 Darkrooms, Degradation & G – Going Underground in Berlin’s Kink Scene
CRUDE #48
Misty and Frank in Berlin are joined by Effie in London and special guests Fred and Isabel for a dive headfirst into some of the darker, messier and more controversial corners of the sex-positive scene.
Fred and Isabel get brutally honest about their journey into degradation, CT/L and DD/LG play, and the particular pleasures of Berlin’s darkrooms. What exactly are CT/L and DD/LG? Why are people drawn to these forms of play? And does exploring darker desires automatically mean there’s trauma lurking underneath—or is it more complicated than that?
Then things get even more CRUDE
We talk about GBL/GBH—“G”—and its complicated relationship with sex-positive and hedonistic communities worldwide. Clubs and kink spaces may have a zero-tolerance policy, but banning G hasn’t made it disappear. Far from it.
So why does G remain so deeply embedded in parts of the scene? What makes it so appealing? Where are the highs—and where do things go horribly wrong?
From degradation to darkrooms, from consensual taboo to chemical disinhibition, this episode goes into places many people would rather keep out of the conversation.

#47 Not giving a f**k! The art of cuddling, dry humping and 'almost' doing it.
CRUDE #47
Effie in London is joined by Misty and special guest Beate in Berlin for a lively conversation about the often-forgotten arts of cuddling, heavy petting, and the playful intimacy many of us first explored before diving into more adventurous experiences.
Beate shares insights into her unique workshops—including her famous "Turning Men into Furniture" dinner parties—which span the full spectrum of intimacy and sexuality, from creating meaningful Quality Time to exploring the world of BDSM.
The CRUDIES also delve into the topics of asexuality and celibacy, discussing how they challenge common assumptions about sex and relationships, and how these themes are explored in Beate's book, Not Giving a F**k.
*Beate*
Beate Absalon is the author of "Not giving a F**k". A book that lovingly investigates the pitfalls of sexpositivity and the erotics of failure and imperfection.
