Over a powerful, booming bassline, singer/songwriter Sasha Ortiz sings about some of the rules of the (making) love game. I love that this song is so frank in its approach. It doesn’t apologize for speaking on the sexual activities it does (specifically Ortiz’s first experiences with BDSM), nor does it become crass in its discussion of said activities. The song speaks on, as Ortiz mentioned in her pitch to me, “pleasure activism.”

What that (potentially) means is letting your prospective partner(s) know what you want, what you’re willing to do and how you’re willing to do it. For example, I’m a bit of a Daddy Dom (though I don’t treat any littles and brats I come across like actual kids; that’s weird to me). I also enjoy edging (both mine and the woman/women I’m with) plus a bit of choking and making women climax until they can’t stand straight. I like what I like. And no one can tell me it’s wrong.

Anyhow, I came into knowing this in a manner similar to Ortiz’s awakening. Learning about what you like in that regard? It’s liberating because you can become the person the sex gods want you to be. Also, God God because God doesn’t want you to lie about yourself–even if your “you” is kinky AF. Jesus loves us all–even

Anyway, the vocals here are incredible and I love the heavy bass here. It kind of reminds me of a kinkier “Any Time, Any Place” (remember that “ATAP” was freaky already with its public nudity and sexual experiences). If that’s not your scene, I don’t judge. Vanilla is cool by me. The song is still worth a listen–especially since it’s also about women’s liberation and freedom of expression. However, if you’re like me and you’re coming (pun unintended) into your own in your kinks? I recommend giving this one a whirl, checking out Ortiz’s SUPERBLUE EP when it drops and support dope music in all its forms.
