NEW YORK — Addis Fouche will host The Lust Files panel on BDSM at Ludlow House, in Manhattan on Thursday.

The panel will include sexologist Natassia Miller.

“As a performer, I noticed that too many of the spaces to talk about sex focused on either an instructional format or trauma,” said Fouche. “The Lust Files is a new space that we created to speak about sex in a fun, exploratory way. I call myself ‘today’s most relatable whore’ as a way to dispel myths and ambiguity about sex work, and this live event series is part of that sharing for me.”
