Flying Solo: Self Suspension

Ganja Goddesses Episode 6

In this episode, we have a fabulous guest, Shay Tiziano! In a time when a lot of us are finding ourselves isolated from others with no way of playing with another person, we bring an episode that is dedicated to self tying and self suspension. From defining self suspension to risk assessment as it relates and most everything in between. Ever wonder what it’s like suspending yourself and what the headspace may be like? Hear Shay’s thoughts on what the experience is like for her. We also talk a little about life in quarantine and how that affects relationships and our kink lives. Shay was also the first guest to play a little word association game with us. This is an episode you don’t want to let fly by you.

Shay is a vivacious femme switch and renowned self-suspender known for their unique, dynamic performances and fun, attainable, and risk-awareness focused approach to bondage education. She is the author of Tying & Flying, the first-ever book about self-suspension. Based in San Francisco, Shay has over a decade of experience presenting across the US and internationally. In her home community, she produces over 20 events a year, including BENT, the Bay Area’s biggest dungeon party, Self-Suspension Open Space, and acclaimed bondage and fetish performance event Twisted Windows.
