Sex and the Politics of Pleasure with Erotic Jewellery Designer Betony Vernon

Erotic jewellery designer Betony Vernon sits down to talk about her book Paradise Found: An Erotic Treasury For Sybarites in a tell-all interview covering all things BDSM, kink activism and the language used around sex. What started with an admiration for William Marston's Wonder Woman turned into a lifetime's work dedicated to enhancing sexual pleasure for all by creating erotic jewellery collections and becoming an advocate for BDSM and kink. From being a 22-year-old designer whose collections were turned away from Barney's New York for being 'too perverted' to becoming an acclaimed sex activist and designer, here Vernon reveals her story.
