Guest: Pup Hermes
In this episode of Brief Talk, UNB Tim sits down with Pup Hermes—a proud thonger, kinky pup, and longtime member of the fetish community—to talk about gear, confidence, sexual expression, and building real community beyond the hookup.
From discovering thongs in high school in a conservative environment to becoming deeply immersed in San Francisco’s kink scene and now creating fetish-forward community spaces in Chicago, Pup Hermes shares an open, honest, and unapologetic conversation about owning what you love and finding your people.
This episode goes beyond underwear and sex—it’s about confidence, creativity, chosen family, and giving people permission to show up as their full selves.
