I’m writing a series of articles spotlighting influential figures, whom I’ve dubbed “Scene Saints,” to honor and recognise their vital contributions in laying the foundational building blocks of the kink community. Sadly Tuppy passed away earlier this year.
Tuppy Owens : A Trailblazer for Sexual Freedom
December 12, 1944 – February 28, 2025

Tuppy Owens was a vibrant and unapologetic force in the fight for sexual liberation and inclusivity. An elegant, commanding presence with a frank, no-nonsense demeanor, she played a pivotal role in reshaping societal attitudes toward sexuality from the 1960s onward. Born Rosalind Owens in Cambridge, nicknamed Tuppy by her family, she leaves a legacy as a sexual rights activist, author, and champion for the marginalized, particularly disabled people. Her brother, Jonathan, described her as driven by an “unerring desire to have a good time” while ensuring others, especially the less able, could do the same.

The Sex Maniac’s Diary: Published from 1972 to 1995. Rebranded in 1987 as The Safer Sex Maniac’s Diary in response to the AIDS crisis and later to The Safer Planet Sex Handbook.
The Sex Maniac’s Diary
Tuppy, a zoology graduate from the University of Exeter, transitioned from an unsatisfying career into pornography, authoring Sexual Harmony (1969) and modelling in Sensations (1975). Her groundbreaking work, however, began in 1972 with The Sex Maniac’s Diary, an annual directory that meticulously cataloged global sexual practices and services in a pre-internet era. Researched with scholarly zeal, she published it from her bohemian Mayfair basement flat until 1995. Her commitment to sexual education extended to her training as a sex therapist in the 1980s earning a diploma in human sexuality from the University of London and an honorary doctorate from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.
The Outsiders
Her activism found its heart in advocating for the sexual rights of disabled people, a cause she embraced with passion and pragmatism. In 1979, alongside her visually impaired colleague Nigel Verbeek, she founded The Outsiders Trust, a social and campaigning group for those marginalized by physical or social disabilities. Owens rejected the infantilization of disabled people, asserting their right to intimate lives. This led to initiatives like the Sex and Disability Helpline, SHADA (Sexual Health and Disability Alliance), and the TLC Trust, which connected disabled individuals with responsible sexual service providers. As Emma Buckett, co-author of Owens’s biography, noted, “Tuppy accepted me as I am,” a sentiment echoed by many.

The Sex Maniacs Ball
Owens’s exuberance spilled into setting up the most wonderful, hedonistic, decadent, quirky events, chiefly The Sex Maniacs Ball (later The Night of the Senses) and the Erotic Awards, which evolved into the Sexual Freedom Awards. Celebrating pioneers of sexual services with winged phallus trophies. These gatherings, often fundraising for Outsiders, pushed boundaries while showcasing her knack for rallying support. Her secretary, Anna María Staiano, recalled Owens’s “field trips” to stripper bars and fetish clubs to scout award candidates, reflecting her hands-on approach.

I knew Tuppy, she presented me with my erotic award. And, I bumped into her at many events and on many a protest march. (Here with the lovely Mik Scarlet & Kathy)
The Sexual Freedom Coalition
A fierce advocate for sex workers and strippers, (working with the Sexual Freedom Coalition), she insisted that consensual adult sexual pleasure and expression should not be circumscribed by religion, state control or social shame, and was militant on this matter. She lobbied against restrictive councils that disallowed sex events and for the decriminalisation of sex workers.

Recognition
Owens’s impact was recognized with awards from UNESCO and the Directory of Social Change in 2015. Despite a vascular dementia diagnosis in 2019, she remained a commanding figure, celebrated last November at a joint 80th birthday and book launch for her autobiography, The Sex Lady on the Hill, at London’s Heaven nightclub. Presiding from a throne, she was hailed as a grande dame of sexual freedom. Steve, an Outsiders member, remembered her “sense of fun, mischief, and frankness.” Owens’s life was a testament to her belief in enabling others to embrace their bodies and desires, leaving an indelible mark on the fight for sexual equality and joy.

distractions and offering some inventive excuses! Gluten intolerance, was cited as a reason for not completing Day 7 
assigned room where I was conducting an interview in half an hour’s time. No other person was present, but colleagues were traversing the corridor outside. As per Mistress Sidonia’s instruction, I stood in a corner, put my nose to the wall, hands on head and maintained the position for ten minutes. The challenge brought to mind the days of corporal punishment in school, an era I grew up in. Standing in a corner was a classic punishment, designed to shame the offender or transgressor. This slut had left shame well and truly behind and had transgressed much since her school days.
On the fourth day of Christmas, I wore pink panties for half a day. In some seasonal observance at one point, I place an elf in my panties, then astride my cock. I put him hanging off my cock as if his dear life depended on it. Elfellato’s appetite for cock was boundless – he wasn’t going to let go! Wearing panties proved to be an easier task, as it’s something I do a lot of the time, to keep me right as it were.
around my cock and masturbated. The butter, of course, was the perfect lubricant. The bread required some care so as not to break it with spasmodic jerks. I wanked my greasy cock until it fountained onto the open slice. I tried to catch every drop I could. I had a decent load, and I was glad about the precision I managed to achieve in getting it onto the slice. I looked at the cum coated slice, the white of the spunk sitting defiantly on the yellow of the butter. I folded it over and started to eat it. I savoured the taste of the cum and the difference it brought to the ordinary bread and butter slice. If cum was my bread and butter…..
ever going to believe that I was doing it for the requisite roughage. I have a good tolerance for green food, but this was testing.
