Can you share the moment or experience that first inspired your love for erotic art? How did this shape your future endeavours in both art and your podcast?
Since a very young age, I have been fascinated by Greek mythology. Especially the myths about seductive and elusive nymphs, sirens, and Greek Goddesses. Their depiction in classic paintings was my original inspiration for nympho life.
In terms of cinematography, the movie that has influenced me a lot was Gia starring Angelina Jolie. I was very moved by the imagery in this movie and its aesthetics resonated with me. I love the rawness of life in art, especially cinema. So, this combination of dreamy mythical creatures and real, raw, untamed femininity is my sweet spot which I’ve infused into the look & feel of nympho life.

How has living in Prague influenced your views on sexuality and your engagement with the sex-positive community?
I moved to Prague when I was 18 years old so I can confidently say that my values and my view on sexuality were shaped under the influence of culture here. It’s open-minded, it’s liberal, and it’s very international. For the context, the society in my home country Belarus is quite the opposite — it’s close-minded, judgemental, and homophobic. This is exactly what I tried to escape, and Prague totally delivered. I’ve made friends in the LGBTQ+ community here, I attend Prague Pride yearly, I’ve visited a number of sex-positive events, panel discussions and play parties, erotic massage parlours, strip clubs, and even a Dominatrix dungeon. I always try to find new sexy activities Prague scene has to offer to experience them and recommend to others if I liked them.

 

What are the main goals and messages you aim to convey through your community, and how do you measure their impact?
My main goal for nympho life is to help people develop erotic intelligence through fostering open conversations around sexuality & intimacy, showcasing tasteful erotic art, and supporting creators & businesses in this space. The main message I try to convey is that sex can be an infinite source of inspiration, creativity, connection and self-discovery and we must embrace and explore our sexuality to live more fulfilled lives. The impact of my actions is reflected in the words of appreciation and support I receive from my community.

What challenges have you encountered in creating and promoting a podcast centred around sensuality?
Very expectedly, censorship. It’s incredibly hard to promote work centred around sexuality in online spaces. I hope that this will change soon.
 

Have you faced any negative pushback from certain audiences?
My mum, haha 😄 But she is not my target audience. She just isn’t a fan of explicit sexual expression, so sometimes she is a bit uncomfortable when she sees my posts. Otherwise, my main challenge is not the pushback but a specific perception of the word nympho which is very often associated with pop-culture depiction of nymphomania/promiscuousness so sometimes I get cringy horny messages from strangers. But it’s a regular occurrence for everyone who shares any sort of erotic content.

What are your future plans for expanding nympho life? Are there any new projects or initiatives you’re excited about?
My main ambition is to develop a comprehensive Erotic Intelligence Hub — where people can learn, get inspired, share personal experiences, explore activities and products to try and discover artists, creators, brands, and sexuality professionals. My B2B ambition is to create a brand & marketing agency for sextech & sexual wellness brands, to utilize my background in marketing and combine it with my sexuality industry knowledge.
I would like to bring nympho life to offline and organize a series of events focused on group discussions and featuring erotic performances or lectures from industry professionals.

 

How do you balance maintaining a personal boundary while being open about such intimate topics on your podcast?
When I mention my personal experiences, I try to keep it contextual and talk about how I felt about a particular experience or how it affected me rather than discussing explicit details.

What do you think is the next big trend in the intersection of art, media, and sexuality?
My biggest hope is that this trend will be popularising open discussions on the topic of sexuality — thus defying the stigma and allowing people to learn about their bodies and how to respectfully interact with their partners, to listen and to communicate effectively about their desires and boundaries. Art as a conversation starter or a metaphor, media as an amplifier, and sexuality as the main theme.

How deeply do you believe eroticism is woven into your sense of self and identity?
I believe that the extent of that varies from person to person and is, perhaps, connected to our libido/sex drive. Personally, for me, eroticism is deeply woven into my sense of self as I have always been sexual and attracted to all things erotic, from art to humour, and I can say for sure that it is an integral part of my identity.
