Here are the talks that have been submitted so far for Ignite Phoenix After Hours #4 on November 14, 2014.
The Death of Granny Barbara |
Presenter |
Redbird and the Worm |
Biography |
I am a terrible person and I am going to hell. I find a way to laugh during the most stressful and horrible life moments, and so does the the woman I love. My brother also shares this same socially unacceptable trait along with his wife. We inherited this from our mother. We spent her last weekend together laughing while she died. |
Description |
We wrote about mom’s last weekend and laughing through it. Friends thought it would make a good play, so why not Ignite? Some samples:
I tell the three of them that “Mom told me she wanted to die.” This statement doesn’t surprise any of them so I add, “I could have been wrong though, she might have said ‘I want some Frito Pie'”.
I couldn’t help myself and brought my hand up to my ear answering my imaginary phone with, “yeah, she’s right here, but she can’t talk right now.” |
Octoberfest Soberfest |
Presenter |
Geoff Snyder |
Biography |
Well fuck… I probably should have saved myself some time and copied my previous submission to paste it here. 🙂 |
Description |
My story about a journey of discovering the trials and tribulations; a grieving process, containing self-blame after losing a dear friend, “Miss Jan”, to a drunk driving accident. For close to 15 years, I take one of my favorite months off from imbibing, to look around me and within me to help others with self-control while celebrating with drinks. Through discovery, we can learn to accept that we can only be responsible for our own actions and let others’ decisions rest. |
Bad Buddhist |
Presenter |
Hoen |
Biography |
Zen is my life. Zen is what I do. Buddhism is a big part of who I am and my self identity. The problem is, I’m a bad Buddhist. |
Description |
After over 25 years of Buddhist practice I’ve found that the best response to someone telling me to “Be Zen about it” is a slap in the face. That’s the sound of one hand clapping. I would like to talk about people’s ridiculous assumptions about Buddhism and what it means to be a Buddhist in America. I want them to talk away feeling a deep love for the world or at least a deep love for me. |
Sexy Photos in the Age of Surveillance |
Presenter |
Yael Grauer |
Biography |
After getting very upset about some anonymous threats I received online, I realized my views on privacy were totally f*cked. Despite wanting accountability for my adversaries, I realized attacking the tools that aided them would be a bad idea, since I wanted to use them, too. And so I tumbled down the rabbithole of encryption/cryptography research. |
Description |
With the Snapchat data breach (and before that, the celebrity iCloud breach), finding a safe(r) way to make sure your intimate, private self-destructing images are only see by the intended recipient(s) is harder than ever.
In this talk, I’d like to explain exactly who you can trust to send your pics, what the methods (encryption, etc.) and vulnerabilities (3rd party apps, the NSA, etc.) are, and methods you can take (or pressure companies to take) to make sure your sexy pics stay private. |
A Life From Mindless Fucking to a Year of Celibacy |
Presenter |
Geoff Snyder |
Biography |
4 Year Phoenician, transplanted from Marco Island; Detroit Native. IT guy who tends to shake things up in the tech community with a passion for leadership development and community building. I became interested in my topic due to its impact on my personal transformation and self-awareness. |
Description |
Throughout life, we experience love and hate, joy and pain, and often thoughts and feelings in which we cannot explain. Like most people, our “first love” tends to dematerialize into something that it never was, leaving us wondering how and why we allow ourselves to become unguarded and vulnerable. We often connect the act of making love, sex, or fucking… with love. After years of trying to keep the physical act separate from the emotional aspects of it, I realized something great: Celibacy. |
Erotic Art |
Presenter |
Mark Greenawalt |
Biography |
I am a fantasy illustrator and bodypainter. I’ve always loved hyper-realistic fantasy paintings for their sexually charged beauty. Later I discovered pin-up art with exposed nudity and eventually discovered a seemingly underground world of erotic art. It’s not for everyone, but I love seeing the work of truly great artists that choose this genre. |
Description |
Some art lovers enjoy landscapes and fruit bowls. Others like sexual paintings of Kama Sutra positions, leather bound BDSM characters, and maybe even a woman masturbating with an octopus. Erotic art may not be socially acceptable to the masses, but erotic artists have found international markets online and at exhibitions like the Alwun House Exotic and various Fetish Ball events. I’d like to introduce you to the genre and to some great works by local and international artists. |
Science + Love = The Raelian Religion |

Description |

While this experience was traumatic and extended into many other parts of my being, I let the pain of my assault live internally until college, when I learned to laugh at my experience in a way that brought about not only a catharsis of sorts, but also allowed me to cope with and experience my pain in nuanced ways. |

Presenter |

My relationship with my own breasts has been rocky. Mountainous, even. I’ll cover what it’s like to live with a set of boobs, the good and the bad, why breasts are such a big deal (regardless of sexual orientation and sexual preferences), and how to snag a lover with big boobs. Just kidding about that last one… kind of. There will be a lot of puns. |

Description |
people don’t really understand the term fetish. They think its a real sex hbo episode.but the reality is that anything that causes a sexual response can be labeled a fetish. It’s not about the most vs the least vs most popular or the most erotic or strange. I like to engage people at the primal level. Make them think about what gets them off and then turn that into a positive self-realization. That’s what fetish events and fetish balls are all about. giving people a chance to be unique. |

Topless Equality for All |
Presenter |
Jenna Duffy |
Biography |
I organized the first topless rights movement in Arizona 3 years ago.

It wasn’t until I saw a CNN news report on Moira Johnston that I became involved in protesting for breast freedom. |

I want to speak directly from my POV as a woman on this topic. Most of all I want to address the concerns I see raised over and over again on this topic that need to be answered.

You Keep Me Hanging On: Fun With Flesh Suspension |
Presenter |
Ashley Naftule |
Biography |
I’m a writer and performer. What drew me to this topic: I live mostly in my head. I’m an introverted person who often feels disconnected from my body. I tried out flesh suspension a few years ago as a lark after reading about it for years and I found that it really awakened me and made me aware of my body in a way few things ever have. |
Description |
Flesh suspension. It sounds gruesome and looks the part: getting hooks pierced into your back, hoisted up into the air to hover over the ground, your back skin stretching like pulled taffy… for some folks, that may not sound like a good time. But it is. It’s a rush like no other. And I’d like to explain just how fun it can be, by talking about my own experiences with it, where you can do it and why its not as scary or as painful as it looks . |

Presenter |
Ruth Carter |
Biography |
I was molested by my brother for 2 years. My family ignored that anything was wrong & pressured me to maintain the perfect family image. I coped by trying to make people think I was a confident successful person. Most people didn’t know how anxious and self-destructive I really was or how the real me is generally quiet and introverted. |
Description |
I live with the devastating effects of sexual abuse every day. It makes me furious that statistics say this is pervasive problem and we’re shocked when these stories make the news. I was shamed into silence & think too many others are too. I want to break my silence & talk about the shame I feel, the anger I have towards my abusers, the aftereffects I still deal with and the unhealthy ways I’ve coped, and the impact it’s had on my romantic relationships. |

The Myth of Modesty: Decoupling nudity and sexuality |
Presenter |
Sara Santiago |
Biography |
When I started work as a life model, I was advised to find a robe that was not lacy, short, or particularly revealing in any other way. It surprised me that covering up between poses could be sexualized more than my fully-lit nude body was on the modeling dais, and sometimes I wonder if Rodin’s “The Thinker” is contemplating the same irony. |
Description |
Why is it okay to walk outside in a string bikini, but not in your granny panties and bra? Why do porn actresses wear heels on camera? Would the Venus de Milo really look less objectionable if she had pasties covering her nipples? In a collaboration with photographer Devon Adams, we explore the artistic blank slate of a woman’s nude body and how sexually-charged it can become by adding apparel. My talk will challenge the idea that covering up our bodies automatically makes them less erotic. |

Mental Orgasms |
Presenter |
Chelsie Reed |
Biography |
I learned about Mental Orgasms as an undergrad and they were totted as a strange occurrence, but could (and does) help men with spinal cord cuts have kids naturally. It is amazing that something that is useful, fun, and just an all around good is unknown. Lady Gaga is the most recent Pop-culture reference and it is still ignored. |
Description |
Mental Orgasms are a purposeful orgasm by though alone, without physical stimulation. I get bombarded by people who do this already but feel weird or strange and do not understand all the implications; medical, mental, impact on relationships, and enjoyable; that mental orgasms can have. I talk about them in a “non-sticky” and very clinical way, not x-rated. Please see drchelsie.com for the recent research if you want more basic info. I will not promote my business, just awareness of the topic. |

Making Women Beautiful with the Magic of Photography |
Presenter |
Mark Greenawalt |
Biography |
I am an artist mostly known for my bodypainting projects, but since these art projects are temporary I have had to become adept at photography to capture the moment. I use makeup, lighting, and posing to make models as beautiful as possible. I’ve shot with awesome models all over the world and my images have been published in several magazines. |
Description |
Glamour and Fine Art Nude Photography techniques bring out the inner beauty of women to create stunning images. It starts with the glamorous makeup that turns the “girl next door” into a super model. Next are the poses that accentuate the curves and bring out the alluring sex appeal. Other choices deal with lighting, composition, props and settings. Ultimately a connection and comfort level must be achieved with the photographer so that the model becomes playful and exudes her sexual prowess. |
Men are fucking babies! |
Presenter |
Pagona Xenos |
Biography |
When I saw children being rented for a weekend in a third world country it felt like I was punched in the face. It has ignited a primal response in me. I wanted to kill. Instead I have chosen to speak about it and empower our women to protect their children, educate the kids and help men gain back their sexuality. |
Description |
I believe in choice and our children are not given the opportunity to choose their future. Babies from 1-16 years old are being fucked right here in the most advanced country of the world in an industry that makes $9.8 Billion annually on their bodies. The first step to any form of action is awareness. Let’s not pretend this happens only in far away lands. |
Thinking Pos+(sitive) |
Presenter |
Dwayne Holmes |
Biography |
An ASU Graduate, a Performer, an Artist, apiring Comedian, and professional day-dreamer, I am a hodge-podge of identities and ideals forced into this black, pudgy, short body. And recently, as of 11/12/13 (not joking) – I was diagnosed HIV positive. This heartbreaking revelation has, actually, lead me to the most beautiful of realizations. |
Description |
As of November, 12th, 2014 I was diagnosed HIV+. While this absolutely knocked the wind out of me, devestated me to my core, it gave me the opprotunity to rebuild from scratch. What I have now, is a new outlook on life and a new appreciation for myself, the sensation of touch, and those that have kept me sane and close. My talk will discuss how our community navigates sex and sexual desires, and how I have attempted to find myself again (who was previously a very sexual human being). |
The ABCs of Anal |
Presenter |
Dwayne Holmes |
Biography |
A recent ASU Graduate and a local Performer, I have been gay all my life, and let me tell you it has been an adventure. I am very interested in sex and sexuality, and most of my conversations end up being about sex eventually. I guess I just have that effect on people 😉 |
Description |
But the question I get most often from my straight gal-friends is “Wait, so how does buttsex work?” — SO finally I decided to start writing guides about it, which leads me to this talk. People need to know that Anal sex doesn’t have to be scary, painful, or (dare I say) messy. It also is some of the most amazing sex both guys and girls can have. |
Sex is Better in a Closet Anyways |
Presenter |
Dwayne Holmes |
Biography |
Recent ASU Graduate and local Performer, I have written and performed in 3 Solo-Shows at ASU as well as done First Friday Night live downtown and other performance/spoken word events. After being in a relationship, in secret, for 3 years with a Straight-identifying man, I have seen the fault in our “two party” sexuality system. |
Description |
Some how my fat, black, gay ass keeps finding straight-identifying men who want to fool around with me. At first, I thought it has something to do with me, the way I self-identify and carry myself but then I realized – the problem is the way we force these men to choose masculinity and heterosexuality, or this fiery pit of homosexuality. This talk will hopefully enlighten people that sexuality goes beyond practices, and that when we transcend these labels, we find beautiful relationships. |
How to Pick Up Straight Girls at a Gay Bar |
Presenter |
Jhairehmyah |
Biography |
I’m gay yet I keep mostly straight friends, and not for any particular reason, it just is. They all go with me to the gay bars. I love gay bars for many reasons: low/no cover, cheap drinks, and mostly uninhibited fun. At gay bars everyone talks to each other, everyone dances with each, and everyone has more fun! |
Description |
My straight friends come to gay bars with me all the time–because gay bars are more fun. And it bugs me when they meet more straight girls than I meet cute guys. My straight friends and I figured out something: its easier to meet real, cute, fun straight girls at a gay club than a straight club. We will explain how that is. |
Medical marijuana: This ain’t yer ma’s weed, man |
Presenter |
TheFabulousOne |
Biography |
I grew up with a hippie mom. The evil pills on the market can often be toxic for your liver, kidneys, and other parts of your body. There are many myths surrounding medical marijuana, and I’m gonna blow ’em up. |
Description |
The issue of medical marijuana it hotly debated around the world, and it’s legal in some states (Arizona FTW!) for medicinal purposes. What does a dispensary look like? Will there be homeless junkies all up in here, trying to score an eighth? Nope. What makes it “cure what ails ya?” |
