    Hotness in Mid-Air and Embracing Exhibitionism: Mischa Byruck

    Hotness in Mid-Air and Embracing Exhibitionism: Mischa Byruck

    When Mischa Byruck went to Burning Man in 2017, for the first time he felt as though “he wanted to be seen, naked, exhibitionistically, sexually.” He couldn’t have imagined just how that would play out…or where his dip into a particular sexy public display would lead. 

     

    Topics touched on in his story include rope bondage, a surprising and welcomed orgasm, homoerotic play and more!

     

    You’ll also learn why exhibitionism is often considered part of female sexuality, reasons many people (of any gender) enjoy it and what Mischa most hopes to accomplish with his work as a men’s sexual integrity coach.
