Banal Sex Mansion

This week we’re joined by special guest co-host Aaron Betsky, author of Queer Space:
Architecture and Same-Sex Desire and Building Sex:
Men, Women, Architecture & the Construction of
Sexuality. As a strong presence in the architectural
discourse of gender and sexuality since the 1990s, Betsky discusses
with us a few of our recent Features published under April's
special editorial theme, Sex, including:

• The enduring influence of "Playboy
  Architecture"


• Screen/Print #41: "Family Planning" from Harvard
  Design Magazine


• The gimp room, the padded cell, the medical office:
  inside the world of Kink.com


• Transparent Motives: the ins and outs of
  sex-specific architecture


• "The difference between porn and erotica is the
  lighting." – One-to-One #19 with Jake Jaxson, CEO and Creative
  Director at CockyBoys

Betsky was last on the podcast in his current professional
capacity as the dean at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of
Architecture at Taliesin, to talk about the school's then-uncertain future. You can listen to that
episode here.
