In this episode of The Kink Consultant, Emma opens up about her personal evolution from a conservative, sex-negative upbringing to writing romance and co-creating a business that makes intimacy playful, safe, and accessible. From game mechanics to emotional safety, Emma shares how she and her husband - a game designer - crafted each box to spark connection, deepen communication, and make exploration fun (and hot).
In this episode of Is This Too Much?, Brittany Krystantos and Nikki Steele talk with the trailblazing 26-year-old Emma Xin Velicky, the founder of Saturday Box. Emma is changing the way we think about intimacy, pleasure, and kink. Having grown up in a conservative household, Emma's journey to launching her own sex toy empire has been anything but typical. But as she's learned, good intimacy is serious business - and she's on a mission to help couples explore their sexual fantasies safely and with confidence.
In this episode of the Better Sex Podcast, host Jessa Zimmerman interviews Emma Xin Velicky about how to explore fantasies and kink interests within a loving relationship. Emma shares her personal journey to kink, discusses defining kink and BDSM, and offers advice on communicating and exploring these interests with a partner. They delve into the importance of vulnerability, play, and the benefits of understanding one’s erotic interests both individually and with a partner. The conversation also touches on common misconceptions about kink, the role of roleplay, and Emma’s company, Saturday Box, which helps couples explore their kinky side through curated adventures.
Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! What is your “backstory”?
Thank you so much for having me! I’ve always been a bit of a hopeless romantic, just drawn a little more to the damsel in distress than the happily ever after. But I grew up in a religious community, where we didn’t have conversations about intimacy. There was nothing but scorn for something as “deviant” as kink. Even after I left the church, it was hard to get what I wanted without invoking negative stereotypes.
I threw myself into my creative work, writing romance novels, games, and short films. It wasn’t until my marriage that I could be truly vulnerable and explore everything I was writing about. I became a “sexpert” to my friends and discovered the need for a playful, intimate experience where couples could turn toward each other for fulfillment, instead of having to figure it out on their own. I created Saturday Box to help couples celebrate their kinky side and take part in each other’s fantasies.
I am OBSESSED with this - one of the hottest scenes I've ever done. It was just the right amount of handholding and choose your own adventure. I might have to put a guarantee on it that you're going to have a good time because that's how confident I am.
— The Kink Consultant
This was the perfect product to take the spice from books to the bedroom ♥️
— Alexis Patton, Bestselling Author
I definitely would recommend this to couples who are kind of new to BDSM and kink….It is going to give you tools to enact the scenes, but I think the selling [point] of this product is the scenes themselves and the fact that they’re clearly explained, so that you could actually use the tools.
— Brittany Steffen, Sex Therapist
Saturday Box is a product that can reignite new relationship energy by launching conversations between partners who haven’t been able to talk to each other about intimate matters, perhaps ever.
