We all have that one moment in our life that shapes our future and for writer Karley Sciortino, her moment was landing a job as an assistant to a dominatrix.

It was an employment decision, working for established Manhattan dominatrix Mistress Dee, that evolved out of a need for her to make some quick cash. A decision that would ultimately set Sciortino on a path of sexual exploration and discovery, one that would make even the most sexually adventurous person blush just a little bit.

However, Sciortino’s work does not exist solely to shock your senses or shake things up (although it succeeds in achieving both of those things) but more to enlighten and educate, to make us look at different sexual ideologies with interest and respect.

TheVoguecolumnist, blogger, editor and author has also turned her storytelling prowess to TV, executive producing and presenting theSluteverseries (named after the sex and relationship website she runs and edits) , which is now available to watch in Australia viaSBS Viceland.

The TV series “opens doors to bedrooms, dungeons, and cray sex laboratories” while also delving into the worlds of platonic lifestyle slaves, luxury sex, kinky tourism, ecosexuals and monster erotica.

Slutever is a humorous and eye-opening documentary series. Watch a teaser below.

And, true to her promise, watchingSluteveris definitely an eye-opening and educational experience.

In the first episode of the series, Sciortino spends time with a dominatrix and her platonic lifestyle slave, unearthing a beautiful dynamic between the two that goes well beyond sex.

In later episodes of the series she delves into the kink travel industry and tries her hand at dungeon hunting with a specialized real estate agent before meeting up with Dita Von Tesse to explore the world of luxury sex, trying everything from gold dildos to custom latex.

We also see her spend time with a group of ecosexuals, who believe that having sex with the Earth can save it, in an episode which involves her meeting the creator of crystal sex toys and committing to marrying a tree.

There’s enough sexual story fodder in each episode to fill a dozen books, yet Sciortino said there is one episode of her series which has by far caused the most commotion.

In building up her career, Sciortino has written openly and with great detail about partaking in activities like foursomes and BDSM, yet she was raised in a very different environment, one that people also like to fetishise.

She was raised in a conservative and religious household and even made a formal pledge at the age of 13 that she would not have sex until after she was married.

“Both my mother and grandmother had made it very clear to me that if a woman chooses to have sex before marriage, she will spiral out of control and become a homeless crack addict spinster who no man would ever dream of marrying,” she wrote forVogue.

Sciortino is very aware that her family views now play into her branding, whether she wants them to or not.

While it seems like Sciortino can write about her sexual exploits and present a TV show that covers every sexual fetish under the sun without breaking a sweat, it wasn't until February 2018 that she finally wrote about an experience that made her truly nervous.

No matter what your sexual (or TV) kinks are,Sluteveris a show that will open your eyes to a whole new world.
