Ever wondered why someone pays to be dominated? In this electrifying episode, I sit down with Miss May, a professional dominatrix, dungeon owner, and kink educator based in London and Berlin. We unpack what it really means to be a dominatrix — from understanding BDSM and power exchange to why humiliation and taboo fantasies can actually be healing. Ms. May shares what her clients request most, how kink can create emotional release, and what it's like to separate her professional “Mistress” persona from her personal life.This is not your typical sex conversation — it's raw, fascinating, and deeply human.

Anger Intelligence: Turn Reactivity into Repair in Relationships & Parenting with Davina Hehn

Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and mental health coach Davina Hehn cut through the fluff on anger. You'll learn how to read anger as data (not a defect), use nervous-system tools in the moment, and practice micro-repairs that rebuild trust at home and at work. Practical scripts, time-bound pauses, thought-stopping, and collaboration strategies make this a clear playbook for conflict without collateral damage. About the guest  : Davina Hehn is a trained therapist turned mental health coach. She helps people advocate for themselves without causing harm, regulate their nervous systems, and parent with accountability and repair. Key takeaways  : Anger is a pointer, not a personality flaw; it flags crossed boundaries, unmet needs, or perceived injustice. Do hourly micro-check-ins (jaw, heart rate, “cold-to-hot” scale) to catch activation early. Use a 30-second reset: notice body cues, name the need, choose a response over a reaction. Radical self-responsibility means holding multiple truths: “What I felt was valid; what I did wasn't helpful.” In-the-moment regulation: breathe with longer exhales; hum or lightly pinch fingertips for bilateral input; stay present. Create time-bound pauses: “I'm activated. I need 5 minutes. I'll come back.” Agree on a neutral cue word as a couple or family. Repair with consent and specifics: ask to revisit, share each perspective, name what you'll do differently next time. Aftercare matters: stop rumination with thought-stopping (visual stop sign) to complete the stress cycle. Prevention beats penance: set realistic timelines for behavior change; consistency rebuilds trust. Litmus test for action: channel anger into changes within your control; avoid rushing to act while still highly activated.SEO: anger intelligence, repair over rupture, parenting repair, conflict scripts, nervous system tools, relationship communication.

This week, Vee and Elle unpack everything couples should talk about before stepping into a shared play space—from emotional boundaries to desires, jealousy, and how to reconnect afterward, using a conversation framework they learned on an ISTA retreat.  From collars and rituals to new relationship energy (NRE), aka limerence, and the messy middle between fantasy and reality—Vee goes deep on her experience. Whether you're new to the lifestyle, playing with a new partner, or redefining your relationship agreements, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and deeply personal moments.RDBSM (Relationship, Desires, Boundaries, Sexual Health, Meaning). (00:25)R: Relationship: Vee navigates a new Monogamish relationship with Mister A. Dom/sub dynamics and wearing collars to denote ownership and ritual. (6:13)Conscious Relating: redefining your relationships as they fit into your life. (7:26)D: Desires: playing together with another couple or a female unicorn. (13:31)B: Boundaries: the idea of men's cum as ownership leading to wanting to be there for your partner's orgasm. (13:57)NRE (New Relationship Energy) vs Love: WTF is limerence? And how do you know when it's evolved from new relationship energy to actual true romantic love? Instability vs stability. (17:14)Boundaries contd: Not playing separately, keeping play and connection in the container of the scene or the play party, and then “keep it in the group text”.

When most people think of the Thoroughbred industry, they picture racing, speed, and high stakes. But what happens to these horses after the finish line? And could their intelligence, courage, and sensitivity make them perfect partners in equine-assisted work?✨ “It's a win-win situation for the equine-assisted world and for the Thoroughbred world — an opportunity to give back to society in a meaningful way.” – Suzi Pritchard-Jones✨ “Any living creature is made up of energy. Unless you can express that energy, it gets bottled up and becomes destructive.” – Suzi Pritchard-JonesIn this compelling episode, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Suzi Pritchard-Jones — a breeder and advocate working to bridge the gap between the racing world and the equine-assisted community. Suzi shares her vision for a more humane future for Thoroughbreds, both during their careers and beyond, where welfare, horsemanship, and second careers in therapy and education take center stage.From Ireland to Florida to the UK, Suzi is pushing for change within an industry often misunderstood and criticized, championing transparency, accountability, and empathy for one of the world's most athletic and misunderstood breeds. Together, she and Rupert explore how Thoroughbreds — once the engine of civilization — can once again serve humanity through healing, learning, and connection.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Breaking Taboos: Exploring Pegging and Pleasure with Luna Matata

On this week's episode, I covered a topic I've never covered before: pegging. So strap onto your strap-on, this is going to be an out there ride! Joining me was Luna Matatas, a Toronto-based sex and pleasure educator with 15+ years of experience in kink, anal play, and Femdom. Luna's expertise and humour made this conversation both fun and very spicy.Pegging, in simple terms, is when a cisgender woman uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a cisgender male partner. Beyond the physical act, it explores vulnerability and gender role subversion, which many find deeply thrilling. Or not. When it comes to pegging, my personal experience is that it's like Marmite - the sticky brown stuff that the British love to put on their bread that tastes of beef stock. It's personal whether you love it or loathe it. (Maybe that's not quite the right analogy but I'm certain you know what I mean). And same goes for pegging. I know men whom became obsessed after a pegging session and a bigger group that think that any form of anal play means they are almost certainly gay.My personal opinion is that exploring our errogonous zones is one of life's greatest pleasures so why should bums be off limit? However, when it comes to pegging, there are a few ground rules that make the whole experience much more pleasurable.Here are Luna's practical tips:* Preparation Matters: Start small, warm up with external stimulation, and always use plenty of lube. As Luna says, “If you think you have enough lube, add more.”* Communication is Key: When bringing up pegging, focus on the feelings or desires behind the fantasy. This opens the door to mutual exploration without pressure.* Aftercare is Essential: Emotional and physical check-ins post-pegging are vital. Whether it's cuddling, talking, or a warm bath, aftercare helps everyone feel grounded.We also discussed how societal attitudes toward pleasure and masculinity are shifting, with younger generations embracing curiosity and shedding shame.This conversation was a reminder to stay curious and open to new experiences. Luna was an absolute hoot, and I can't wait to have her back to dive into more topics like Femdom. Until next time, take care and remember: desire doesn't retire! 00:00 Introduction to Pegging and Its Appeal02:51 Understanding the Mechanics of Pegging05:38 The Emotional Aspects of Pegging08:28 Power Dynamics in Pegging11:19 Communication and Consent in Pegging14:20 Tools and Techniques for Pegging17:08 Building Confidence in Pegging19:47 Aftercare and Recovery22:50 Societal Changes and Attitudes Towards PeggingYou can find Luna Matatas here.Hi, I'm Suzanne, author of the bestseller ‘The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir,' pleasure seeker and curious about ways to improve our intimate relationships as we age.Each week, I delve into a different aspects of sex, dating and relationships with an expert which I bring to you via the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast.

Navigating shared spaces as a polycule can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. Whether you're attending a community event, family gathering, or social outing with multiple partners, the absence of cultural scripts can leave us feeling uncertain and vulnerable. Many of us struggle with questions like: How do we introduce each other? What level of affection is appropriate? What happens if we run into unexpected people?These concerns are completely normal when venturing beyond the default monogamy script that society provides. The good news is that with some preparation and self-awareness, we can create meaningful experiences together while honoring everyone's boundaries.In this episode, we talk about:— Why approaching polycule gatherings as "experiments" rather than perfect events or potential disasters creates a healthier mindset— The importance of having intentional conversations before spending time together in shared spaces— How to handle introductions, labels, and public displays of affection when cultural scripts don't exist for your relationship structure— Creating personal "self-rescue plans" for moments when you feel excluded or uncomfortable in group settings— The value of separating reconnection, aftercare, and debriefing after shared experiences— Why some people feel energized by challenging social norms while others find it uncomfortable— How to navigate situations where some partners are "out" and others aren't— The emotional impact of feeling like someone's "secret" and how different people respond to various levels of relationship visibility— Why processing time varies between individuals— The importance of community support when navigating relationships outside mainstream normsResources mentioned in this episode:— Self-regulation skills training available on YouTubeJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Dies ist die Fortsetzung der letzten Folge, in der Lenia und Luisa über ihren Einstieg in die Sexarbeit gesprochen haben. Heute widmen sie sich der Frage: Wie macht man als Escort eigentlich einen richtig guten Job? Luisa beginnt und betont: Vorbereitung ist der Schlüssel. Wer als Escort arbeitet, sollte genau wissen, was der Kunde möchte – und die Führung übernehmen, ohne dass es sich nach Kontrolle anfühlt. Auch Lenia findet diese Fähigkeit entscheidend: Der Kunde soll sich fallen lassen können. Spannend findet Luisa außerdem, dass Lenia bei einem Date sehr wenig Raum für sich selbst einnimmt – etwas, woran sie selbst noch arbeiten möchte. Dafür teilt Luisa ein echtes Geschäftsgeheimnis und verrät ihren persönlichen Fragebogen, den sie vor Dates nutzt. Natürlich beantworten die beiden auch wieder Fragen aus der Community: Was tun, wenn der Kunde Mundgeruch hat? Was gehört unbedingt in die Escort-Tasche? Und wie führt man ein gutes Gespräch? Für Luisa und Lenia ist klar: Rückfragen stellen ist das A und O. In der Nuttensprechstunde geht es diesmal um anale Gelüste: Was tun, wenn er darauf steht und sie es nicht ausstehen kann? Außerdem sprechen Lenia und Luisa darüber, wie sich ein Escort-Date idealerweise entwickeln sollte – inklusive mindestens 30 Minuten Aftercare am Ende, wenn es nach Lenia geht. Während Luisa einen Kunden hat, der schon im Bademantel wartet, braucht Lenia immer erst eine Aufwärmphase. Zum Schluss geht es um ernste Themen: Was tun bei Übergriffen – im Escortdate oder im privaten Leben? Wie geht man mit Unsicherheiten der Kunden um? Und wie erzählt man Familie und Freund:innen, dass man Sexarbeiter:in ist?

„Tantra ist die Transformation von Sex in Liebe durch Bewusstsein.“ – mit diesem Gedanken steigen wir in eine neue, faszinierende Folge von Sex in Berlin ein. Unsere Gästin Sonja ist Paarcoachin, systemische Sexualberaterin und bietet tantrische Körperarbeit an. Unter dem Leitgedanken „World as Lover“ begleitet sie Menschen und Paare dabei, ihre sexuelle Energie durch Achtsamkeit in tiefere Verbindung und Liebe zu verwandeln. Wir sprechen mit ihr darüber, warum es so wichtig ist, Intentionen in intimen Begegnungen bewusst zu setzen, wie „demokratische Berührung“ funktionieren kann und weshalb es transformierend ist, die Vulva mit derselben Sorgfalt und Liebe zu berühren wie das Gesicht. Sonja erzählt außerdem, wie Paare sich in ihren Sessions neu begegnen, welche Rolle Achtsamkeit und Aftercare in Dreier-Konstellationen spielen – und warum bewusste Sexualität ein Schlüssel für eine friedvollere Welt sein kann: „Wenn wir in unseren intimen Beziehungen Frieden und achtsame Kommunikation finden, können wir zu einer friedlicheren Welt beitragen.“ Eine Folge voller Inspiration, Körperbewusstsein und tiefer Einsichten in die Verbindung von Liebe, Sexualität und Gesellschaft.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host In this episode of The Pleasure Zone, we're diving into the deliciously overlooked art of afterplay—those tender, lingering moments that happen after the climax, when skin is still buzzing and hearts are wide open. While foreplay seduces the body and sex ignites the fire, afterplay is the warm glow that keeps the flame alive long after the heat. This isn't just about lying there—it's about weaving intimacy into every breath, every glance, every soft brush of skin. Afterplay can melt away tension, strengthen your bond, and turn good sex into an unforgettable experience that lingers in your body for hours—or even days. In this episode, "Afterplay & Aftercare In Sex", Milica Jelenic Sex & Intimacy Coach, Holistic Health Practitioner and Host of The Pleasure Zone will share her favourite sensual and caring actions that make your post-play time not only satisfying, but irresistibly addictive!

What is pleasure? Have you ever noticed that what is pleasing to one body is not necessarily pleasing to all bodies? What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence. What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers? Whose ready for an adventure??? Milica Jelenic is an advocate for pleasure. In her private practice she invites clients to create life and lifestyle that offers more pleasure and vitality. Milica's intuitive ability to sense where change is possible and to question what is stuck in the target area creates a very dynamic session that promotes choice, possibility and change.   Milica has impacted the lives and health of individuals both in Canada and abroad with her humor, kindness, gentleness, potency and intensity.

Opportunities to practice touch, sexuality, and play in intentional spaces. We are thrilled to have Ally Iseman, founder of Passport2Pleasure, as our guest. Ally helps couples and communities organize play spaces, establish clear expectations for what happens at play events, and explore their own sexual styles and preferences in the process. Ally talks with us about: Defining the variety of options that people and partnerships have. The value of curiosity. The power of the word no. Aftercare.

You've had the surgery, the swelling's gone, and your results are settling in, but there's one final detail that can really complete the transformation.Vanessa Dougherty is a tattoo artist who specializes in scar camouflage and restorative micropigmentation. She works closely with plastic surgeons to help patients take their results to the next level using color, care, and craft.Vanessa shares how she got into medical tattooing, why technique and color matching matter so much, and how every procedure has to be tailored to the individual. It's not just about hiding scars; it's about understanding skin tone, selecting the right pigments, and applying them with expert precision.Timing is important. You'll usually want to wait about a year post-surgery before starting, and expect at least two sessions, plus a possible touch-up later. Results can last anywhere from two to five years.Aftercare is also a big deal. You can't get a tattoo and head straight to the beach! Proper healing makes all the difference in how the pigment holds up.From recreating nipples after mastectomy to blending facelift or breast lift scars, Vanessa sees how this final step transforms not just the body, but how people carry themselves.Find out what to expect in terms of pain, cost, and results—plus how to find a truly qualified medical tattoo artist, and why she believes this should be part of the standard aftercare plan for surgical patients.LinksLearn more about Restorative Permanent MakeupFollow Vanessa on Instagram @restorativepmu and TikTok @restorativepmuSubscribe to Vanessa's YouTube channel @restorativepermanentmakeup Learn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the Best of San Diego and global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

In recent years, a lot of work has been done to raise awareness about the massive problem of human trafficking as well as to start to attack that problem. In this week's episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner interviews two women engaged in an important part of that fight through an organization called Gift of Freedom: Sharon Siar and Nicole Glenn.  Sharon Siar is the Founder and President Gift of Freedom, and she is also the Vice President and CFO at Talon Freight Services Nicole Glenn, is a Board Member for Gift of Freedom, the Founder and CEO of Candor Logistics Management, and a host of the Ladies Leadership Coalition Podcast. Unlike organizations focused on raising public awareness, or rescuing victims of trafficking, Gift of Freedom is focused on aftercare. They provide the funding for counseling, a need that can extend years or even decades after a rescue is complete. Even though this is a hard topic to hear about, it is a challenging reality for far too many people - children especially - in the United States and around the world. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Sharon and Nicole share their perspectives on: Why aftercare counseling has been overlooked as an area of need in the past The connection between human trafficking and supply chains Why social statistics fail to capture or represent the scope of this problem Links: Sharon Siar on LinkedIn Nicole Glenn on LinkedIn Gift of Freedom Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Episode Summary In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Gretchen Starnes, Family Aftercare Manager with Network for Hope (Louisville), an organization that also supports families after the loss of a loved one through organ donation. Gretchen shares the deeply human side of her work—walking with families through the grief process, offering comfort, connection, and compassion in the wake of profound loss. We explore how the gift of life through donation can bring a measure of hope to unimaginable sorrow, and how Gretchen and her team help families navigate that journey with care and grace. ✨ Episode Highlights Gretchen Starnes discusses her role as a Family Aftercare Manager at Network for Hope. She describes the Aftercare Department's mission to support donor families and ensure their needs are met with compassion and understanding. Gretchen shares her personal journey, beginning as a Family Support Worker and transitioning to Aftercare, highlighting the critical role of empathy in her work. She reflects on working with grief and the full spectrum of emotions that come with it, reminding us: “There's nothing wrong with you when you're grieving.” Andi asks Gretchen about the myths and misconceptions surrounding grief and bereavement support. Gretchen explains that support systems often fade after the first year of loss and shares her experience that, for many, the second year is even harder. The organization offers 15 months of ongoing support through mailings, in-person meetings, and online resources. Families find healing and comfort in sharing stories, memories, and legacies of their loved ones. Donor families play a vital role in encouraging and supporting newly bereaved families through direct connections. Gretchen talks about the emotional challenges donor families face when reaching out to donor recipients and how the organization offers guidance through that process. They reflect on the powerful impact of the Holiday Honor Walk, which brings donor families together to foster connection, support, and healing. Gretchen emphasizes the importance of saving lives through organ donation and the value of being surrounded by a strong, supportive community. She also highlights the importance of self-care, a healthy team environment, and emotional support to navigate the difficulties inherent in this deeply meaningful work.

When Sue put down the bottle for good, she picked up something else entirely – scraps of Scottish oak, old skateboards, and a newfound passion for woodwork.What followed wasn't just a hobby or a distraction. It was the beginning of a new life. Sue encourages you to find  your own spark in the things you once set aside.Welcome to The Next Round, where we discover that the fleeting interests from our drinking days might actually hold the key to lasting joy in sobriety.For Sue Patten, woodwork became more than a craft. It became a way to rebuild, both inside and out. Her latest stint in rehab wasn't her first attempt at an alcohol-free life, but this time, everything clicked. Art, creativity, and real friendships gave her the strength to not just stay sober – but to thrive – so much so she stepped well outside her comfort zone to share her story with us on this podcast.“You get this rough piece of wood and it turns into this smooth, shiny piece of wood, and I love it. I just love it.”After decades where drinking had become her identity, her routine, her reward, her confidence boost. Sue rediscovered her creativity in sobriety. And she didn't just dabble. She built a new life.Her workshop near Warrington, Cheshire, became her sanctuary.“I go in there and I just lose track of time”What started with a ring and a skateboard became a series of bottle openers, chopping boards, and vases – each piece a quiet celebration of focus, beauty, and self-belief.“I wasn't going to make bottle openers, because I don't drink. But I liked seeing what I could create.”It wasn't always this way. Sobriety in her 20s, Sue admits, was an angry, isolating thing. She didn't go out. She didn't engage. But now, in her 50s, things feel entirely different.“I'm a happy sober person now, partly because of the woodwork, partly because I can socialise again – confidently.”Confidence is a recurring theme in Sue's story. It wasn't something she started with.“I've only just gained confidence in my mid-50s now… I never had the confidence to say, ‘That's quite good, that.'”But recovery gave her the tools. Literally.“If I'm a bit anxious, I can go into the workshop at whatever time. I release what I'm thinking.”Recovery, for Sue, wasn't just abstaining from alcohol. It was connection, creativity, and rebuilding. She found her turning point at Delamere, a rehab centre that encouraged therapy through art, horses, and most importantly – people.“The staff said, connection is everything. And I didn't believe it. But now I do.”Aftercare became another anchor. Most Sundays, she returns – not because she has to, but because it keeps her grounded and inspired.“Not everyone makes it, but they can see that you can get through it. That's important.”You can find Sue's work here. Find Club Soda:The Club Soda Tasting Room is at 39 Drury Lane, London, WC2B 5RRFind us on Instagram
