Bawdy Storytelling – Episode 95: "All Bravado" (featuring Crystal Crow)

Overview

This episode of Bawdy Storytelling, hosted by Dixie De La Tour, balances the deeply personal with the tantalizingly provocative. In the first half, Dixie shares a raw and vulnerable account of her recent health scare, reflecting on mortality, identity, and her dedication to the Bawdy community. The main feature is Crystal Crow’s live, unscripted story of sexual self-discovery, BDSM exploration, and transformation—from bravado to authenticity to unexpected intimacy.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dixie's Health Crisis: Vulnerability, Fear & Community (01:17 – 17:48)

• Dixie opens up about missing her own show for the first time in 13 years, precipitated by a sudden, severe pain that led her to the ER. She wrestles with the American healthcare system as an uninsured person, her devotion to her work, and fears about losing her livelihood and identity.

• The hospital ordeal: Dixie describes the chaos and characters of San Francisco General, from drug-addled patients to overworked staff. She highlights the emotional rollercoaster—from being told she may have a perforated colon and possible metastatic cancer, plunging her into existential crisis, to relief when further tests show it was a severe infection, not cancer.

• Reflection: Dixie’s takeaway is deeply human—a meditation on the fragility of life, the importance of doing good work, and taking nothing for granted.

  • Memorable quote:

    "All I can do is just think about what I've done with my life. You only get one, and have I done the best job that I could with this life?"
    — Dixie De La Tour [16:01]

• Community & resilience: Despite her ordeal, Dixie decides to push on:

  • Quote:

    "When I say I'm gonna do something, I do my damnedest to do it. And I'm not gonna be at 100%, but I'm going to do the best job I can."
    — Dixie De La Tour [16:56]

2. Crystal Crow: "All Bravado"—Sexual Adventure & Affirmation (18:00 – 27:35)

Background (18:00 – 20:30)

• Online Exploration: Crystal describes her love for "trolling OkCupid," hunting for profiles that catch her attention, specifically drawn to those open about kinks—BDSM, poly, degradation, flogging. Crystal is unapologetically herself: "Yes, I use my real name because that's my name." [19:19]

• Phone Affair: What begins as a safe, anonymous 400-mile distance dynamic grows into sexually charged phone exchanges over 10 months, discussing fantasies—a blend of romantic, raunchy, and rooted in the escapism of "penthouse letters" and porn DVDs.

Transition & Fear (20:30 – 23:29)

• Crystal moves to Oakland—unintentionally shifting boundaries. The man (Charlie2004) panics and ghosts her for six weeks.

• He suddenly calls, suggesting an in-person encounter echoing all their fantasies:

  • Crystal's inner monologue:

    "Now all of a sudden, I’m gonna get flogged and I’m gonna be called a piggy. Okay?" [22:43]
    She acknowledges some of what she'd described was fantasy—"a lot of that shit's sexy as fuck when somebody else is doing it."

The Night of "All Bravado" (23:29 – 25:30)

• Arriving at Charlie's: Nerves, a comical wrong-apartment moment, parking illegally without realizing it. Crystal focuses on "acting all bravado"—faking confidence.

• Stepping into the fantasy:

  • Immediately instructed to undress, gagged (his fantasy), and then put through the paces—tied up, flogged, degraded, and fucked for "four and a half hours every which way."
  • Liberating revelation:

    "For the first time in my life, nobody's making fun of me. Nobody's walking out on me. I love this." [24:38]

  • Wrapped in his arms afterwards ("Aftercare." [25:23]), she feels truly seen and cared for.

Affirmation, Aftermath & Self-Realization (25:30 – 27:35)

• Unusual tenderness:

  • Charlie helps her dress, thanks her, and kisses her as she leaves.
  • The depth of the experience—being loved, affirmed, and not ghosted—hits deeply:

    "For the first time, someone loved me, loved what I had done, loved every interaction. And just like not having a ticket, I was… Okay, I don’t know what the word is. And it was amazing." [26:12]

• Lasting impact:
  After only one more encounter, merely hearing his voice is enough to arouse her—a testament to the power and significance of the experience.

It'S just you're not enough for me can't you see I'm the kind of woman I'm supposed to be? Hey, my vagina is eight miles wide. Absolutely everyone can come inside if you're ever.

[Dixie de la Tour]

Welcome to the Body storytelling podcast. I am sexual folklorist Dixie de la Tour, and this is episode 95. Well, I hope your week's been going better than mine has, because this week was a little challenging. Let's say this week I had a first, and that first was that I missed my own show. For the first time ever in pretty much 13 years, I missed my own show. I'm not really happy about that. I'm not happy about a lot of the elements of this story, but I'm gonna tell them to you anyway because I guess I'm too lazy to keep a diary. And people have been emailing me and messaging me on Facebook to ask what's been going on. Because if you're on social media, you might have seen that I had a lot of health problems this week. We had a body on Friday, October 25, and the day before, I had a bit of a stomachache, and I wasn't sure what was going on. But I had a lot of storytellers who wanted final story coaching. They wanted to feel really prepared. They wanted a great job. As the day went on, I was more and more in pain. It became like this stabby kitchen knife kind of thing. There's this area on a fat girl that right below your belly, you have what we like to call the smile where your body meets the lower part of your belly. It's just above your bits. The pain just kept getting worse and worse. I started falling down on the job. I couldn't do it. This was going to be show 8 of the tour of 11. I had done a show the week before in Chicago. I'd been spending the time in between preparing for the next tour dates. But Thursday, I just kept getting worse and worse. I did not sleep all night. I could not be comfortable. I was trying to find pillows to prop myself in a position where it didn't hurt. And it just kept hurting. And so at 5 o' clock in the morning, I called a video doctor to have the video doctor kind of tell me whether I was being ridiculous. Like, this has got to be something simple, right? It can't be anything serious. And so the video doctor asked me a bunch of questions and he said, well, nothing is conclusive. You've got like one symptom out of like five things. You have to go to the emergency room. And I'm like, no, not the emergency room room. Because, yes, I am one of those Americans who does not have insurance and emergency rooms are very expensive. And I had a show to do. It's now Friday, the show is that night. And I've never had to find a replacement for my own show. I racked my brain, but I wasn't thinking very clearly. I was in a lot of pain. So I started calling a bunch of people and saying, are you a grown up? Because I need a grown up to make a decision. I am not in the sort of place where I can make a decision. I ended up finding an incredible performer who performs all the times in Peaches Christ's Productions, Drag Productions. She has been heard here on the podcast and her name is April Kidwell and she's a really good friend. My assistant Crystal came over, was ready to get everything together and take it to the venue for the show that night. And at about noon, I headed to the emergency room at San Francisco General. San Francisco General Hospital is one of the scariest places you will ever go in your life. Everybody who doesn't have insurance goes there. And it is also where all the prisoners in San Quentin San Francisco Jail, everybody gets their medical treatment in general. So you often see people in orange jumpsuits handcuffed to a gurney in a hall. And there's a lot of sheriffs wandering around and there's a lot of people who are on drugs wandering around. So while you're in the waiting room, you know, hoping they're going to call your name maybe in the next four hours. There's often. Well, in this case, there was someone on a lot of drugs who was trying to challenge most of the people in the waiting room. He kept screaming things like, I can still run for president, do you want a job? Or where's my $200,000 bitch? And he was trying to get everybody to engage with him. Everybody in the room who's probably already in pain are looking at the floor, not looking at each other, definitely not looking at him. And eventually they start getting me into the back. They. They do blood, they do urine. They tell me they're going to do a CT scan. It's a very long, slow process. Eventually, they get me to a room in the er and I sit there and I wait by myself for hours before they wheel me in. Right about the time I'm supposed to go on stage, they wheel me in for a CT scan, and then they wheel me back to my room and I wait by myself. Everyone I know is at my show right now, six blocks away from the hospital that I'm in. And they're all very busy doing my show. Every once in a while, somebody will send me a quick little video or send me a picture and say, we love you and we're thinking about you, but it feels really weird to have other people do your job. And I'm still in pain. Eventually, right about the time the show is supposed to end, 10:30 or so, this doctor comes in with a resident and they come into the room and they look very serious and say, there are two things that are definitely concerning us. And I'm like, okay, this is not going to surprise you guys. The problem was with my butthole. I say it too much. I'm being punished. Actually, it was my colon. He told me I had a perforated colon. We talked about the perforated colon for a minute. You know, I said, well, I'm going to New York to do a show. And he says, you can't fly with a perforated colon. And I'm like, you can't? And then I kind of am trying to problem solve that one because I'm thinking, well, I'm not doing my job right now here in San Francisco. What do I do about my show in New York this week? So I'm still kind of turning that one over when I hear the word cancer. And I'm like, wait, what? Back up a little bit. Did you say cancer? And he goes, well, yeah, there is a spot on your liver, and we're really concerned about you. You're going to be checked into the hospital. We're going to do a biopsy on your liver, we're going to do a colonoscopy. We have to do these things as soon as possible, by the way. You have to stop eating. And I hadn't eaten since Wednesday night. It's now Friday night, and I'm getting pretty hungry. And he says, you know, you have 15 minutes, and then we're taking all food and water away from. You can't have anything else because you're Going to have a bunch of tests. And I'm like, well, I was starving, like, five minutes ago, but do you think I'm hungry now? Because she just told me I might have cancer. And he's like, well, you got 15 minutes. And I text my partner, bent, and I said, could you come down here? Because I'm freaking out. And I started spiraling off the planet. I started going, oh, my God, how do I do what I do if I have cancer? How do I pay for chemo and cancer treatment if I have no insurance? All of these things that I'd taken for granted forever, that I'm a workhorse, I will seriously put in whatever it takes to. But this means I might not be able to do my job. And I found that terrifying. Ben showed up a little bit later, and we sat and cried in my room. And I said, what do we do? And he's like, I don't know. We just sobbed together and held each other's hands. And he said, I'm with you no matter what. And I'm like, this is the scaredest I've ever been in my life. And pretty soon, not long after Ben showed up, this young woman came into my room and started typing on the computer near the foot of my bed. We weren't really paying attention because people had been coming in and out of the room. She looks at us, and we're crying, and she goes, hey, guys, what's going on? And I'm like, maybe cancer. She's like, maybe cancer. And I'm like, yeah, this doctor came in and said I had to stay because they have to do liver biopsies and colon tests. And. And she goes, hang on a minute. And it turns out she's a doctor. And she says, let me finish typing this. And then she looks at the results, and she comes over and, you know, says, hello, her name's Molly. She's a doctor. And she's like, okay. So since that first doctor came in, we ran a whole bunch more tests on that initial CT scan, like the first one that was the initial result. And he came in and told you the initial result, but we've run a whole bunch more scans on it, quad scans and other kinds of scans. And we had four different technicians evaluate the results. And so we have different results now, and I'm not really trusting that the rug's not being pulled out from underneath me. And I'm like, okay. And she goes, well, you've got a severe infection in your intestine, and we are going to admit you to the hospital for that. But the thing going on with your liver, our best guess is that you have a little strawberry birthmark, just a cluster of cells, your liver. And he looked at it, and he saw a spot on your colon, and he saw a spot on your liver, and he decided that you had colon cancer and it had metastasized to your liver. But we have better information now, and we don't think that's what's happening. And we just sat there in shock. She said, we're going to check you into a room. There's going to be way less people on drugs wandering around the hall on the floor that we're going to put you on, and we're gonna do more tests in the morning. And eventually, they corralled all the people on drugs who were wandering around the floor, and they found an orderly to take me up to the fifth floor, and they put me in a room, and they ran another test on me. And they said, yep, we're confirming what doctor number two said. And I'm like, I don't have a perforated colon. They're like, two out of three doctors say you don't. Two out of three doctors say it's not cancer right now. It might be one day, but right now it's not. They gave me a big bag of antibiotics and sent me home, and I haven't slept. I've had an existential crisis ever since it happened. All I can do is just think about what I've done with my life. You only get one, and have I done the best job that I could with this life? And that was a very long story. And I just want to tell you that I am getting on a plane to go to. In fact, by the time this episode comes out, I will be in New York and I will be hosting in New York. Because when I say I'm gonna do something, I do my damnedest to do it. And I'm not gonna be at 100%, but I'm going to do the best job I can. So there you go. A lot of people wanted to know what was going on with my health this week. That's what it is. And this is what happens when you say the word butthole. Too much stuff like this. I am a cautionary tale for you. There you go. I know you like this podcast. You know how I know that?

[Crystal Crow]

The little dance was. Cause I move and I'm not allowed to move. But I love trolling. OkCupid. I think it's the most fabulous thing ever. Flip photo, no. Flip photo, no. Flip photo, no. Hey. I ran into this profile. It was called Charlie 2004. And when I first saw it, there wasn't even a whole face. It was this smirk. And I was like, what's that about? You know, you always want to know if there's more pictures. So I clicked on it and there was only one. But then I started reading his profile and it had words like BDSM and poly degradation, flogging, spanking. I want all these things. So I sent him a quick message. Hey, I'm Crystal. Yes, I use my real name because that's my name. And I just waited, like. And he sent me a response. He's like, hey, I really like your pictures. And one of my pictures is me getting in this hot tub and I'm naked. And he's like, you do know you're naked on OkCupid. I'm like, yep, I do. And we exchanged texts and he asked me if he could call me. And so I sent him my phone number. And I guess in the world of profiles this is really risque, but I was going for it. And he called me and he asked me what I was into and. And I kind of was like, I don't know, what are you into? I read your profile. But, you know. And you know, so I told him. And what I did was I got really creative because we were only talking on the phone and I lived 400 miles away and I figured this is really safe. So I went deep. I went back to the romance novels and I masturbated to. When I was 14, I went back to. To the penthouse letters that I read. I got those DVDs 30 men for Sandy Unleashed. 1, 2, and 3. You need all of them. And I told him about all these things that I wanted. I wanted to be tied up and flogged and I wanted to be degraded. Word always tricky. I wanted to be called a pig. I wanted to be called a slut. Do it for me. Come on. And he did. And it was amazing because it was so exciting, accepted and perfect. And let me go back for a minute because I was 19 when I met my first boyfriend. My one and only relationship I have ever had. Well, to this day. I was 22 when I was married. I was 23 when I was divorced. And from the age 23 to 34, I had a long string of one night stands. I had meet men who would fuck me and then shame me for having sex with him on the first date. So for me to reveal myself to someone on the phone was like, all right, I can do this. He called me. It was safe, it was good. And I did this for 10 months. It was kind of amazing. And then I decided that I needed a social life. And at the time, I was living in Yosemite and Charlie 2004, was living in Oakland, but my family happens to own a house in Oakland, so. So I moved here. I didn't mean to change the parameters of our relationship, but when you call someone that you've been talking really dirty sex to on the phone for 10 months who had no intention of ever meeting you, that you just moved 22 blocks away from him, he's gonna freak the fuck out. And that's exactly what happened. So he's kind of panicked and he quit talking to me. No messages, no phone calls for six weeks. I had just moved to a new town. I was Enjoying it. But I still, in the back of my head, was like, where'd he go? Out of the blue, he calls me and he says, hey, I know I haven't talked to you in a while, but you've been on my mind, and I was wondering if you have tonight available. I'm like, for what? Like, you want to go coffee? I don't drink coffee. What do you want? Like, he said, no, I would like you to come over to my house and maybe talk about what we've been talking about for the last 10 months now. Let's go back and refresh your memories. But I made a lot of that stuff up. I won't lie. A lot of that shit's sexy as fuck when somebody else is doing it. But now, all of a sudden, I'm gonna get flogged and I'm gonna be called a piggy. Okay? So literally three hours after the phone call, I get in my car and I drive to Oakland. We're in front of his house, and it's on the nicer side, north towards Berkeley. So, you know, I parked in a red zone in front of a fire hydrant and blocked a driveway. I was so nervous. I didn't know this until later on, but still, it's very, very, very crazy. But I got out of my car and I ran to one apartment, shook.

[Dixie de la Tour]

The door, wrong apartment.

[Crystal Crow]

He's standing on the porch just high. And I walk up to him, and he kisses me on the cheek, and he says, welcome. Come on in. Now, I'm 5 4, and he's about this tall. It was hot. And I went into the apartment, still terrified, not knowing what was going to happen, but, you know, acting all bravado. Yeah, I can own this. And I went in and he sent me through my paces. And the first thing he told me was, take off all your clothes. And I was like, o. Okay. I didn't get to say much after that because he put a ball gag in my mouth because that was his fantasy. I got to nod my head yes or no, and I did a lot of what we talked about. He tied me up, he flogged me. He played with his toys like he knew me. He did know me. He did everything that we had talked about. And I was just thinking in my head going, this is cool. For the first time in my life, nobody's making fun of me. Nobody's walking out on me. I love this. And he took me into the bedroom and proceeded to fuck me for four and a half hours of every which way. He used Me like I was his dirty little cunt. And I loved every little minute of it. And in the end, he untied me and he laid me back on his bed and he cuddled around me, his 6 foot 5ish frame, and wrapped around my body and fell asleep with me in his arms. And he just loved me. I later learned that that was called.

[Dixie de la Tour]

Aftercare.

[Crystal Crow]

And now I wouldn't need that. And he was so amazing. He helped me get dressed and he kissed me again as he walked me to the doorway. And he said, thank you. I love what we did. I got in my car and I screamed like a 16 year old on her birthday. Did I really just do that? And I was like, oh, yeah, I did. But I was also aware of the fact that one, my car hadn't gotten towed or ticketed. And I felt like that was. I don't know what the word is, but it was a moment of like. For the longest time in my life, I would have sex with men and they would never speak to me again or act like they didn't know me. And for the first time, someone loved me, loved what I had done, loved every interaction. And just like not having a ticket, I was. Okay, I don't know what the word is. And it was amazing. And I never talked to him much after that. We got together one more time. And now I hear his voice and I get wet.

[LP Bawdi]

I mean, podcasts are stories, but there's this added element of people in person playing bango and making new friends. And I can't get you laid if you don't leave the house. So coming out in person is a big deal. A big deal for you. We also have cocktails and we have stories that may not be heard on the podcast. So when you show up in person, you get everything. So I want to tell you about upcoming live body storytellings. Well, as you're listening to this Wednesday, October 30th, I'm in New York about to step on stage at Chelsea Music Hall. Remember the New York show had a time change. We're going to be starting at 7:30, so doors at 7 show at 7:30 and it's my only east coast date. So please if you possibly can, I want to see you tonight at Chelsea Music hall. Then on November 7, it's Jackpot in Seattle. I'm getting some pitches, but I don't think I've got yours yet. So please send me your story pitch beginning, middle and end to dixieaudistorytelling.com and then on November 14th in San Francisco, the theme is Gasm. It's a brand new theme and I'm looking for stories. And then it's the week before Thanksgiving and the tour is over and I'm going to be taking long hot baths and taking Quake for long walks and rewarding myself for all this travel. So there's going to be a little break. See me while there's not a break. Come see me in Seattle, San Francisco, or better yet, New York. Tickets for all of our shows are on our website bawdystorytelling.com and they're also in the show notes for this episode. Oh, it's over. We're at the end of the episode. I want to say thank you to the people who make Bawdy Storytelling's podcast happen. Thank you to podcast producer Marty Garcia, to sound engineer David Grossoff, to video archivist Joe Moore, to project manager Dana Hanna. And thank you to you. I want to say a special thank you to you for going somewhere and writing a review. Writing not the stars. Not talking about the stars. I'm talking about writing a review of body storytelling. That makes me so excited when I get to see what you think. It helps me make it better. Knowing what you like. Thanks for doing that. Tell a friend I'll see you at a live show sometime soon. I am sexual folklorist Dixie de La Tour. You have been listening to episode 95 of the Bawdi Storytelling podcast and here's a peek at what's next.

So he bent me right back over and started pounding me again until he came and I felt might have been the drugs but also might have been it was definitely love. Love at first.
