You know how this goes…
Chris and I interview somebody for the show, and I get on here and tell you about that somebody before we air the show. Then when that somebody’s episode airs, I get on here again to let you know about it. Yes, it is as much from my need to hear myself chatter on as I want to alert you, gentle readers and listeners, to the amazing people we happen to have on Licking Non-Vanilla.
In the case of Ariel Anderssen, who we just spoke to and recorded a show with last week, it doesn’t get any more amazing.
Through my commitment to “research,” I came across Ariel years ago…and have been a fan ever since. Appearing under a couple of different names, I found the willowy beauty in still photos and scenes, as much offering up her perfect derrière for OTK spankings, as modeling bondage wear, as cavorting with other women or men in fun scenes of various fetish-y fare as even found some of her classic mainstream acting moments. This is a lady who, for the past two decades, has managed to maintain quite a career, shooting for private creators, shooting content on her own as well as scenes for big companies and small, all to her absolute pleasure, bolstering her education of the ‘scene’ and what she wants from it and championing the idea of us all being free to pursue that which makes us happy, in the safest and most consensual manner.
I won’t spill the interview here, but we began our talk over Ariel’s new memoir called Playing to Lose: How a Jehovah’s Witness Became a Submissive BDSM Model by Ariel Anderssen from Unbound, which you can and should buy here: Playing to Lose: How a Jehovah’s Witness Became a Submissive BDSM Model – Kindle edition by Anderssen, Ariel. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. Then we lit on any number of her adventures, her feelings about shooting presently, and most importantly, her humble advocacy for what she does, how she does it and how she hopes people with similar feelings and fantasies about wanting something slightly non-vanilla (or more than slightly) in their intimate experience should feel secure that there are certainly others among them who feel the same way.
This last part is an essential aspect of what Ariel does and one of the big reasons she wrote her book.
I can’t say enough about Ariel Anderssen without sounding like a gushing fan. Chris and I are truly grateful the lady took the time to talk with us. And I am, with how she continues to grant me access to her story and pictures for further reporting I am doing on her (which, yes, I will let you know about here). And how she is just so welcoming and downright nice.
But then again, as she, Chris, and I agreed, we have met some of the very nicest, down-to-Earth people working in the kink field.
