You'll see Kris and PA play a lot with blood and sharps but Kris also loves heavy impact (especially canes), pegging and fisting!PA is just your run-of-the-mill asshole trying to do weird stuff to people and have a lot of laughs in the process.

Join Leia in the Den of The Danes as she sits down with Daemon Danes to discuss his journey into poly life, his first experiences with kink, and how his 24/7 M/s household is run.Daemon Danes is an alternative lifestyle enthusiast, knowledge worker, and somewhat of an icon or anti-hero to many in the Fetish community. He is the proud patriarch of a 24/7, M/s poly family known as the “Danes”, who share colorfully about their lives online, and in his podcast series. Often controversial but never boring, Daemon is seen as an unapologetically extreme practitioner and outspoken personality to most.Daemon's approach to BDSM praxis comes from 20+ years of experience, time spent with other spiritual and sexual communities, his formal education in psychology, and a dedicated history of study with nontraditional teachers around the world. He believes alternative relationship structures and play modalities provide an expansive context for creating peak experiences which deepen self-awareness and growth for those with an impulse to explore them.Daemon lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his poly family, and evangelizes his core values of intimacy, consciousness, creativity, and devotion through writing and multimedia.Book referenced in this episode: The Selfish Genehttps://www.patreon.com/submergelifehttps://submerge-merch-shop.creator-spring.cominstagram.com/sub.mergelife*ALL INTERVIEWS ARE FROM CONSENTING ADULTS SHARING CONSENSUAL EXPERIENCES FROM THEIR LIFE.

Join us this week for not ONE but TWO amazing guests on subMERGE! Leia, The Russian and Flying Anvil chat all about Polyamory and how it works for them, others, and how many different ways polyamory can be structured and work for people!Flying Anvil has been in the kink scene for over 17 years, he's a kinkster, a maker, a voyeur, and a professional napper! From Flying Anvil:I like building and tinkering with classic cars and hotrods. I grew up building hot rods with my family. Rebuilding my dad's 39 Chevy coupe as a kid with him was my first love. Currently I'm building a 1962 Chevy Truck her name is Sugar. I also have a 65 Chevelle drag car that I've sold my soul to obtain.I also love the old school art that goes with them ie. PINUPS! (Bonus points if you love hotrods and pinup style as much as I do!) , pinstriping, bomber art, and antiques. But of course with my education background I love all kinds of art and architecture!I'm a huge fan of music as well, although I must admit I can't play a note to save my soul :( I love all kinds across the spectrum of rock, alt, punk, blues, old country, bluegrass, ethnic and cultural music you name it. I guess the only thing I really can't stand is Pop music as a whole. sorry if your a fan :( I find it to be a soulless - for pure profit genre... just my 2 cents anyways...When not doing all of these things my favorite thing to do is enjoy the company of others. Give me good food, good booze, good friends, and a good fire to sit by and I'm a happy man. A glass of scotch and good cigar wouldn't hurt either!

Buckle up for Rancid B!#@h Bella as Leia learns all about her childhood as an African American raised in Mississippi, living with albinism and her journey into kink all the way to Kansas City. We talk about her struggles with racism and colorism, how being “different” can be turned into something positive in the long run, and how recovering from narcissistic abuse and codependency changes your entire view on the modern world.  Bella has been a student of Kundalini Yoga for 10 years and experiments with incorporating her research of physical therapy and body awareness into kink play. Formally trained in movement for the stage, Bella has found kink play and body conditioning to be the perfect balance between performance and self expression. The human form is such an amazing instrument and Bella believes that self expression in kink should be available to all body types. Bella has bonded with her partner Shoshin over their pursuit of collaborative partnership and finding the play in play. She likes to describe her dynamic as "summa". Summa this; summa that! Why not take a little bit of everything you like and make it something all your own? Bella finds herself drawn toward activities that leave room for creativity and artistic expression.  Shout outs in todays episode: Shoshin, M-L-E, PandaSlag, lilbunnyfluff, therussian, _newbian_rogue_, _sadistica_, Handfull, Okienawa, and Knechtschaftwerks (on Patreon)Book: In Cold Blood-Truman CapoteSubscribe to our Patreon for video exclusive content from today's showwww.patreon.com/submergelifeCheck out our Merchandise Shop!https://submerge-merch-shop.creator-spring.com*ALL INTERVIEWS ARE FROM CONSENTING ADULTS SHARING CONSENSUAL EXPERIENCES FROM THEIR LIFE.
