Sex is great, but have you ever fucked the system? King Noire and Jet Setting Jasmine show us what it looks like to do both—at the same time.
King Noire and Jet Setting Jasmine are some of the boldest cultural architects we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He’s an MC turned award-winning fetish performer with a global humanitarian streak. She’s a licensed clinical therapist who doubles as an award-winning director, dominatrix, and all-around badass. Together, they’re shaking shit up.
King came up with one foot in hip-hop and the other in activism, using his art to fund schools, wells, and clinics in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. Jasmine built her career in clinical therapy, guiding people through trauma and stigma long before she ever stepped in front of a camera. Their paths might look worlds apart, but both were shaped by the same conviction: sex isn’t dirty, it’s divine, political, and deeply human.
Individually they’re strong. Together they’re a force.
When the duo built Royal Fetish Films (NSFW), a studio dedicated to authentic, ethical erotica centering people of color, they refused to play by the rules or bow to the old guard. In a sea of tired tropes and misrepresentation, they offered nuance, artistry, and political poetry—dismantling the colonized gaze by showing Black bodies in all their erotic power, not as props but as protagonists.
They’ve turned kink into a language of healing; and sex, race, and mental health into a conversation that demands attention. And it worked. Awards stacked up, fans connected with their unapologetic Black love and sensuality, and mainstream media began to take notice.
Today, they’re just as comfortable on stage at an Ivy League university as they are performing at a fetish convention.
Their work has been recognized for both its artistry and advocacy, with features across podcasts, media outlets, industry panels, and events around the world. Their leadership in the decolonization of sex and pornography, along with their advocacy for sex-positive parenting, recently landed them on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show.
Other notable features include MTV UK, Fuse, Playboy, Paper, Rolling Stone, Psychology Today, Business Insider, Forbes, and more. Their ability to bring so many deeply human topics into the same space, with such nuance and finesse, is something to be studied.
In a culture still tangled in shame, King and Jasmine are showing us another way forward: pleasure as protest.
