Episode notes
If part one pulled back the velvet curtain, part two takes you straight into the beating heart of Torture Garden. Paul Faust returns to the Blush Podcast to dig into the foundations of the kink community—consent, safety, and aftercare. From navigating boundaries and shutting down bad behavior to creating an atmosphere where newcomers feel both welcomed and empowered, Paul reveals what it really takes to run the world’s most notorious fetish event.
But it’s not all heavy—there are playful stories, wild anecdotes, and even a few games that lighten the mood. Because at the end of the night, kink isn’t just about leather and lashes—it’s about community, connection, and care.
This is Part Two of our Torture Garden deep dive—and it’s every bit as deliciously dangerous as the first.
