Episode 291: ‘Freaks Need Love, Too’ (Flora Goodthyme)

Bawdy Storytelling

Can you guess the best makeup remover? Sister of Perpetual Indulgence Flora Goodthyme grew up feeling the pressure of her family’s heteronormative expectations, and struggled with what commitment could look like (some family members were on their sixth marriage, and many cheated). So she moved her single gay ass to San Francisco, discovered the sex-positive, polyamorous world of open relationships and was hooking up happily - until she fell in love. Can Flora commit to just one man? Does a loving home and white picket fence have to preclude sex with multiple partners? I bet you know the answer, doncha?

Song: ‘Gold’ (Trixie Mattel)

About our Storyteller:

Make-up Mark or Sister "Floozy!" Flora Goodthyme has been a fixture in the Sex worker, drag and kink community for many, many years .. As an activist and as an artist Floozy! (As she’s known to her friends) has traveled the world over with colorful stories galore. Flora and her husband Nick now live their white picket fence life together in San Francisco, and spent lots of quality time with their 3rd partner, Ollie.

Bawdy Got Me Laid perfume: Dixie has created her own fragrance and it’s getting rave reviews!

Here’s one: “Okay hear me out, THIS PERFUME IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I will probably never buy perfume from another shop. That’s how good these are. #bawdygotmelaid is so sexy, so sweet, so delicious. The Amber and ylang ylang is what sold me, and it did not disappoint!” - Carlie You’ll love #BawdyGotMeLaid, scented with golden Honey, Amber, Ylang Ylang, and warm Vanilla.

Upcoming Story Workshops: My new workshop ‘Storytelling to Get the Sex* You Want’ is coming soon. I’ll announce the date - and ticket link - next week. Stay Tuned!

AND: My Secret System Storytelling Workshops are returning - and this time, you can attend either online, or live and in-person! Registration will be offered to newsletter subscribers first, so sign up now. But I have 2 different workshops. Which one is best for you?

• How to Be Fascinating: Dixie’s Secret System for Brilliant Storytelling (perfect for parties and social events, getting better at speaking up at work, and dealing with the social anxiety of public speaking) • How to Be Bawdy: Dixie’s Secret System for Uncensored Storytelling (learn how to tell stories the way that Bawdy storytellers do, esp sharing your personal story in an inclusive, detailed yet relatable way. Special topics will include polyamory stories, kink stories, illustrating consent in your story, transporting your audience into a scene, and more)

Make sure you’re the first to know when registration opens for these workshops - they sell out!
