What Deaddie finds most interesting is what people reveal of themselves when alone in a room with another person. Only when we feel a sense of removal from the eyes and ears of the larger world can we finally reveal ourselves to another person. Sometimes it is to our soulmate, but for other people that is too vulnerable, even dangerous. In those cases the person must seek out a stranger, a sexual “message in a bottle,” to tell the story of their truest desire so they might be seen without having to be known.
Deaddie Mercury is a thousand year old skeleton who has dedicated his afterlife to exploring desire through BDSM, art, and storytelling.
He has interviewed civilians and professional sex workers in multiple countries across North America and Europe about their experiences.
