In this episode of the Infatuated Podcast (previously called The GraveTells Romance Podcast), erotica author and kinkster Eden Bradley talks candidly about the importance of women's sexual health and how kink and BDSM in real life can differ from what is often portrayed in romantic fiction. See details of the full episode, including buy links, on InfatuatedPodcast.com here: https://wp.me/p9NOsJ-43Here are some questions and topics Eden and I cover:What are kinks? How do they differ from fetishes?What exactly is BDSM?How do polyamory, BDSM, and fetishes measure on the kinky scale?What is Primal play? What exactly happens at one of Eden’s Kink Retreats and how can you learn more about attending next year?What does the inside of a kink club really look like? And are sadists really that scary?Why dominants in real life are probably different from the alpha males you’ve read about in books.Why it's important to separate fantasy from reality when reading kink.As a writer, how do you research kink when you’re not part of the community?Why labels—top, dominant, submissive—don’t matter when you play.How Fifty Shades impacted the BDSM community, both in real life and in fiction.Where are the safe spaces on the internet for women to explore & learn more about their sexuality?How can you learn more about consent and negotiation? Sexual health at different times of your life?How can reading romance can lead to a healthier psyche and sex life?Sign up for Eden's courses on her website: http://edenbradley.com/education/ Eden references several books and online resources in the podcast.
