I have always said; no one ever knows what is going on behind the closed doors of their neighbor’s homes. When Chris and I visit kink conventions and see couples engaging in what they engage in (we generally troll the dungeon spaces once a weekend, you know, purely for research), I realize that what we see supposed ‘ordinary’ folks are getting into pretty much in all of our dead-end streets, cul de sac, condo communities, as kinksters just getting together in groups sometimes to see and be scene.
If we assume then that so much more than we can ever imagine is happening in dens, backrooms, screened-in porches, and bedrooms throughout the land, then it should come as no surprise that Netflix thought enough to throw “How To Build a Sex Room” at us presently.
Starring Melanie Rose, a professional interior designer who claims that she has been creating “sensual spaces” these past ten years or so (who knew one could make a living from this?) through the eight-episode season, Rose transforms a dozen spaces for a wide grouping of Denver residents. She helps make a rock and roll-themed basement into a sex space, comes to a farm to find some naughtiness, looks for possibilities for a couple living in a van, converts a room into a cabaret, and visits a 5-star spa.
Rose as much helps change spaces as she talks over the uses of a sex swing and other adult toys as much as gives a flogging demonstration to test a spanking bench… an essential piece of furniture to any good sex space, I hope you know.
As a writer/podcaster/teacher in the adult space, I love to see these kind of shows, the recognition by big steaming services of how vital and fun our intimate lives can be and reiterating how we all are really thinking about this kind of stuff more than we readily admit.
