Auckland, New Zealand

Vixen Temple (she/her) is a queer sex-positive pleasure witch, writer, sex work activist and performance artist based in Auckland, New Zealand who is passionate about destigmatising sex and BURNING THE PATRIARCHY!

Vixen is the host of Vixen Temple Presents: Burn The Patriarchy, a podcast where she unpacks topics related to sex work and feminism through the perspective of a sex worker. Since April of 2018, Vixen Temple has worked in the sex work industry as a stripper, sugar baby and porn creator. That’s where she discovered how sex negative Aotearoa can be and as a result, she developed her passion for destigmatising sex.

At the start of 2021, Vixen Temple joined the board of Strippers United: A Labor movement of sanctuary strippers with “standards higher than our heels.” She has been interviewed by a variety of podcasts and media outlets for her vast knowledge of the sex work industry and the negative impacts online censorship has had on the sex positive community.

As a pleasure witch, Vixen Temple uses sex magic to connect to her higher self. She has been a sex toy enthusiast since she was gifted her first sex toy in her final year of high school. Since then, she has taken it upon herself to explore a wide range of sex toys both for her sex work, but most importantly her own self pleasure.

Outside of sex work, activism, and being a published writer Vixen Temple is also a performance artist. From burlesque to drag, she takes to the stage to tell a story that she hopes will inspire her spectators to Burn The Patriarchy and worship themselves. She performs acts inspired by The Tarot, The Dark Feminine and her experiences in the sex work industry.
