#30 The Mum of Hedon House: Building Sanctuaries for BDSM & Erotic Exploration

What does it mean to create an erotic space—not just play inside one?

In this episode, we meet Gala, the Mum of Hedon House—a queer BDSM sanctuary designed for ritual, pleasure, and deep erotic inquiry. We discuss her philosophy of erotic hospitality, how she curates objects and atmosphere for psychological safety, and why perversion can be a path to power.

We explore:

What it means to be a “pervert” as a creative, ethical identity.

The difference between producing eroticism vs. performing it.

Why design is a form of invisible consent.

The healing power of queer BDSM sanctuaries.

How being the Mum of Hedon House has shaped Gala’s erotic philosophy.
