    #44 Oh my God! The Crudies talk religion, spirituality and s3x positivity

    CRUDE #44 Frank in Berlin and Effie in London are joined by Jonas from the Liebesapfel podcast for a bold, no-filter conversation about God, sex, religion—and all the uncomfortable overlaps in between. They get into the provocative stuff straight away: why do people dress up as nuns and priests, and what’s behind the so-called “Christian fetish” scene? Is it just taboo, or is there something deeper going on with power, symbolism, and desire? Can people be spiritual and religious without organsied religion? Or dowe need to throw the baby with the bathwater when it comes to god? How can religions that preach love and compassion also be tied to exclusion, hypocrisy, and even abuse? Where do those contradictions come from—and why do they keep repeating? The trio also explores the unexpected parallels between kink communities and religious spaces: rituals, rules, trust, belonging, and the pull of something bigger than yourself. Jonas is a Protestant theologian and philosopher currently living inZurich. He co-hosts the German-language podcast Liebesäpfel, where he advocates for a sex-positive approach to religion.

It also takes a critical look at the UK’s laws around kink—examining how they can be discriminatory and, at times, rooted in homophobic assumptions. Alongside this, the conversation addresses the need for greater body diversity in kink representation, drawing on experiences from London’s only fat-centric cabaret night, Big Fat Cab, and the broader fight against fatphobia in queer spaces. Posey Mehta (they/them) is a multi-disciplinary live artist exploring fatness, submission, and masochism through drag, clown, and performance art.

As their drag alter-ego, Mitzi Fitz, they run the sell-out sensation Big Fat Cabaret, London's best (and only) fat-centric cabaret. They're also a welfare monitor in kink spaces and advocate for sub-led kink education. *Upcoming shows* Asking For It WIPs | 20th & 21st April Protesting the illegality of S&M Big Fat Cabaret | 18th April Mitzi Fitz fat-centric cabaret Posey's Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/mosey_moo/ *What we were consuming* [Book] Mary Gaitskill Secretary (1988) [Film] Pillion (2005) [Film] Secretary (2002) [Definition] TPE (Total Power Exchange)
