Eva Oh has been getting invited to more and more crazy rich sex parties to manage BDSM dungeons and entertain guests with kinky installations. Enter the clandestine operations of sex parties for the uber wealthy - where multiple day productions cost millions, where guests and staff are flown in all expenses paid from across the world, and where Eva often sits in between the gratitude of a gig and the spectacle, shock and concerns of extreme wealth.

The Current Keeper of the Museum of Sex Objects, Deborah Sims, joins Eva Oh for a fascinating discussion on women and freedom on the #teakink Podcast. We discover more about the origins of the Museum, WeWork Dominatrix Dungeons, Coven Garden Industrial Spanking, and the museum's objects - including a whip made from Meretrix hair of Roman times.
