Writing can be a joyous experience until all the pressures on what to write come crashing down on you. Sometimes, trying to write what your agent wants takes away all the spark and passion you have for writing. Today's guest, Sierra Simone, is all too familiar with this feeling. What snapped her back was simple advice: WRITE FOR YOU. This led her to write a Jane Eyre fan fiction turned Gothic Victorian erotica, where she discovered taboo and erotic romance. Sierra is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling former librarian. Her notable works include Priest, American Queen, and Misadventures of a Curvy Girl. In this episode, she joins Ella Barnard to talk about her journey to making her own path in writing taboo topics. She also dives deep into writing good sex scenes, the benefits of self-publishing versus traditional publishing, and how self-knowledge helps your career.
In 2013 Tiffany started a positive body image blog entitled "The Diary Of A Curvy Girl". Her mission for the blog was to encourage other plus size women to embrace who they are as beautiful queens, and to remember the number on the scale is just a number and they can be fabulous at any size! in 2014 Tiffany won the title as Miss Kurvie Upstate NY a plus size pageant based out of Rochester NY. In her year of reign she accomplished many goals, starting a mentoring program and ultimately entering a national pageant, to which she was crowned Miss Rochester Plus America 2016. Continuing her pageant journey at the Miss Plus America national pageant Tiffany competed as Miss Empire State Plus America and is the First Runner Up for the Miss Plus America Title. Since then Tiffany has been published in several online articles with her blog, she's also hosted a few self esteem workshops, and hopes to bring awareness to depression and suicide from her recent battle. She takes a realistic transparent approach to being an influencer because for her she doesn't want to unreachable or unrepeatable. Tiffany is committed to the betterment of the next generation of young ladies and women, by helping them realize their true self worth and to start thinking like the Queens they are meant to be!

Polyamory is our topic for this episode and we were so delighted to have Sydney on our podcast to help dispel Polyamory Myths. Sydney LIVES the polyamorous life. She has a husband she nests with. She has a wife who is her bestie and she is married to her, but they do not have sex. And, she has two male partners in her polycule. And, they all practice radical honesty - which is the key to almost all relationships. And, radical honesty is REQUIRED if you are polyamorous. She very clearly describes it and shares with us how she LIVES this life. Some of you may remember Sydney from a Curvy Girl fashion show a few years back where she dressed as a bride. FABULOUS! She was a show-stopper.We had about 10 to 15 questions from listeners and friends and we went through the whole list of questions and asked her a few others.We had a discussion about compersion and jealousy and she shares her theories about jealousy and compersion. We discussed the fact that poly people come in all ages, all sizes, all skin colors. (Although Sydney would like to see more Black representation in the poly world soon, but we will get into that next time we interview Sydney and discuss Polyamoury 201.DO NOT UNICORN HUNT is very firm advice Sydney strongly believes can be damaging to the unicorn and cause some trauma. Be honest. Are you a swinger or poly? Be honest with yourself and your future partners.We discuss if people who are poly are kinky or not.Resources from Sydney:1. More Than Two Author: Veaux, Franklin, Rickert, Eve2. PoleSecure Author: Jessica Fern3. Love is Not Color Blind: Ruby Bouie Johnson4. Sydney also recommends a podcast and blog called Polyphia.blog.Happy Polydays with Leanne YauMerf, Sydney, and I are very married to the idea that none of us are in any place to judge how people live their lives. NO JUDGEMENT. If Polyamory is not for you,just move along. Polyamory requires ALOT of talking and communication. NO LIES. Radical honesty,no deception, no surprises.We also discussed the meaning of metamour, fluid bonded, polycule, processing, kitchen table polyamory, and so much more. Merf also recommended a book that is a recourse that discusses how poly relationshipshave been around longer than most of us and in hundreds of cultures. I will get that title and add it here, soon. Thanks a million to our guest Sydney for her time and expertise. Thanks to the best co-host, Merf and to our fabulous (and poly) editor, Asherlee.Our sponsor is my sex toy website: www.Blissconnection.comSupport the show

Alison Zupancic originally hails from North Ridgeville, OH, a small town outside of Cleveland that’s just 10 square miles, but since graduating from the University of Toledo in 2009, she’s been enjoying big-city life in the nation’s capital. The law enforcement professional lives in the hip Navy Yard neighborhood — just a stone’s throw from Nationals Park, which fits in nicely with her active lifestyle and athletic past. Shortly after moving to Washington from the Buckeye State over a decade ago, Alison joined the all-female tackle football league D.C. Divas as an offensive lineman. She’s since moved on, but remains active with regular sweat sessions at SoulCycle, Solidcore, and doing CrossFit. Alison is also passionate about fashion, identifying as an ardent body positivity and size inclusivity supporter and taking inspiration from influencers and fellow advocates like Ashley Graham, Tabria Majors, and Katie Sturino. And, the aspiring model’s style isn’t just limited to the newest trends either — she’s a major thrifter, hitting up vintage stores whenever she’s on the road for work.

Introduction to our new segment --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
I can’t exactly tell you how exciting this was, except you can hear it in my voice during the introduction! TD is a brand all by herself, and I have questions, she is a curvy girl advocate and a health advocate, she proves the two can exist.
Do you know what it means to be a big beautiful woman? When I met Twyla Turner, my first thought was that she had this big bright personality. She laughed with her eyes and she stood out in a room. One of the cool girls.I mean look, at one event we attended together, a male cover model saw her and thought she was so beautiful that he asked her to do a photo shoot with him, pool-side. I took the pictures! So, yeah, there's that...is my jealousy showing?!This is a short excerpt from Twyla's most recent book, Rock the Curves, "Lyris almost chuckled to herself at how brain-washed everyone was in Lala Land. She loved her full body. She thought is was beautiful. Strong and capable. And anyone who didn't see it was drinking the kool-aid." I love this!As Twyla and I chat about body image, world travel and multi-cultural Romance, I shared with her how much her characters reminded me of my own childhood. She and I may have traveled the world in different packages, but our conversation showed me just how similar we all truly are in this world. We might believe ourselves to be different and, yes, in many ways we are, but in so many ways we're very similar. A part of be believes if Twyla and I had grown up in each other's shoes our experiences would be so different, but then, we wouldn't be us. It would've been super cool to have known her when I was younger, we would've set the world on fire because, I think, we both would've figured out a lot earlier in life that we're both beautiful women, regardless of the package.Join us, and don't forget to follow my #YouTube channel.

Welcome to my virtual therapy room! I am Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and this is Sex Spoken Here. Remember that this podcast deals with adult themes so if you don’t have privacy you might wish to put on your headphones. Today I am continuing my series on sex toys. So far in this series, I looked at vibrators and vibrating toys, dildos and butt plugs, and talked with Chrystal Bougon of Curvy Girl and Bliss. If you haven’t had the opportunity to listen to the first three episodes in the series, I encourage you to do so. Today, I am talking about pervertables and other interesting toys. A pervertable is an ordinary item that can be turned to sexual or perverted purposes. Later in the show I will talk about electro-stimulation toys. The first question I usually get about pervertables is why bother? There are a few reasons: The first is if you are not sure if you will enjoy certain types of sensation or activities, you probably don’t want to invest money in the toys or items. For example, you want to try a toy that will produce a thud type sensation, and see if you enjoy that type of pain mixed pleasure. You could go out and buy different paddles or you could go into the kitchen and get a wooden spoon or use the back of a heavy hair brush. The second reason is that you don’t have lots of money to spend. This is the most common reason someone decides to explore pervertables and creating their own toys. The third is the associations we form with items that we will see every day can add some excitement and on-going turn on. For example, if you have children or live with parents or roommates, you won’t keep that gorgeous flogger out and so you won’t get the thrill of seeing it regularly. But, if your lover uses a belt instead, every time you see the belt, every time they wear the belt, you will get an intense thrill. It can be like being hot-wired: You are doing something ordinary and you see the belt and suddenly you are soaked or rock hard or both. Pervertables for sensory play and sensory deprivation play: Sensory deprivation can increase the sensation for the senses that are still available. It also adds the extra thrill of surprise. The mildest form of sensory deprivation (and the most common) is blindfolding. Blindfolds can be made from ties, towels, shirts, belts, strips of fabric. One of the most arousing scenes I ever took part in, my lover tore off my t-shirt and cut it into strips, using one to blindfold me and the others to tie my hands to the bed posts. Your underwear can be used as a gag. Sensory play involves using all our senses and different types of sensation to increase excitement. Sometimes sight is removed (as many of us rely on sight as a primary sense). Alternate textures can be used to stimulate and enflame. There are tons of pervertables in the home that are ideal for this type of play. You can use sandpaper, the edge of tweezers, a feather, a fan, the tines of a fork, leather gloves, silk gloves or fabric, a safety pin, a rubber band. Using smells is also enlightening. In this case, I recommend pleasant smells and smells that whet the appetite like vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate, musk, civet, labdanum, leather, tuberose, amber, or gardenia. Taste is also a lot of fun to play with. I recommend using fresh fruit, chocolate, olives, lemon or lime, fresh ginger and for the truly adventurous various chilli peppers. Ginger can be used for figging which is when it is peeled and inserted in either the vagina or anus. It will cause an intense burning sensation. It shouldn’t be left in for too long. Some people also use chilli for this but I don’t recommend it because it is too hard to remove. Please make sure you aren’t allergic to anything you are going to put on or in your body. What about pervertables for dildos? There are loads of things you can use that are insertable pervertables. Please use common sense before putting something up your coochie or ass. Make sure that it isn’t going to cause damage – so make sure it is clean, use condoms, lots of lube, and nothing too sharp! (Even if you like pain, shredding your insides is never advised). Warnings finished. You can use carrots, zucchini (courgettes), candles. If you want to try some forms of BDSM and kink, there are lots of pervertables you can find at home or at B&Q or Home Depot. For restraints, ribbon can be used. Ribbon can feel cutting though so make sure to pay attention to how you feel and make sure the person who has tied you with it is checking in with you about how you feel. Any time you use restraints you must take care not to cut off circulation by tying too tight. You can use various sizes of chain for restraints. You can use regular rope but this tends to chafe. Try using rope over some fabric (like a sock or a tie) in order to avoid chafing. Nipple stimulation can be sensual or intense. If you want to experience some of the intense, clothespins are great pervertables. They may seem easy at first. The real hurt comes when they are taken off and all the blood rushes back into the nipples. Chopsticks can be used to tap on the nipples. For impact toys, you have incredible choices all throughout the house. In the office, rulers make great impact toys. They can also be easily integrated into a role play scene. My first piano teacher used to hit my hand with a ruler when I didn’t play correctly. School role plays can include being spanked with a ruler. Spoons are great impact toys. You can use wooden, plastic or metal and they will each give you a different sensation. You can use spatulas as well. Try a long-handled shoe horn (wooden ones are the best). Belts (the end without the buckle) are old standards for a good spanking. The back of a brush or a shoe are ones that many people in their 40’s and older experienced when they were children and naughty. If you want a more challenging sensation, a beating with the business end of a hair brush is pretty challenging. Rubber bands are very challenging. How do you use them, you ask? Just like when you were kids, you snap them on someone. The worst places to have them snapped on you are predictably the most sensitive places. Rubber bands look really innocuous but they are NOT. Remember that using different fabrics and textures all over your body can be really arousing. Alternating textures raises excitement. For example, using something furry over the breasts and following that with light scratching with finger nails. Playing with temperature is also lots of fun with pervertables. Paraffin candles are perfect for wax play. If you’ve never done it before, do get some instruction (either in person or on line) so that no one gets burned. Ice cubes are fantastic for raising your temperature. They can be rubbed lightly over the body or held tightly to the juicy parts. Electro-stimulation toys are finally more affordable. Electrostimulation or e-sex involves the applying of electrical stimulation to the nerves for sexual pleasure. If you use a pace maker, please don’t try this. If you have heart conditions, this is not recommended. And it is not advisable to place electrodes so that current passes through the chest cavity as even at low current and low voltage there is a risk of cardiac problems. Having said this, if you are using a violet wand these warnings don’t apply. If you are going to try this, it is best to get some instruction so you know all the risks, hazards and the best techniques. OK, warnings over. The use of electricity for entertainment dates back to the 1740’s. In the 1830’s insertable electrodes were first designed. In the 1920, some electrostimulation devices were used as a ‘cure’ for impotence. In the 1950s, a EMS machine that was designed for relaxation was re-purposed and used for sexual stimulation. That was an advanced pervertable!. Violet rays were developed for various medical treatments in the 1920’s and 30’s. From there they went to the beauty community and some treatments originally derived from violet ray use still exist today. Edgar Cayce found metaphysical uses for these devices and they found popularity again in the 60’s and 70’s. The original repurposed units are TENS and EMS units. Erotic units began to be devised in the 1980s. Battery powered units are preferred as they reduce the likelihood of injury. Violet wands are modified telsa coil type electrical transformer. It is usually engineered specifically for sexual play. The electrode attachments are made of glass or plastic and they glow when the electricity passes through them. The most common colour is purple hence the violet in the name but there are lots of different colours you can find. There is a phallic shaped electrode made for insertion and this has a fine spray output versus the long slim tube which concentrates into larger single sparks. Some electrodes feel tickly, others like a gentle tingling, others a bit more spicy and some very intense. There are a wide variety of techniques you can employ using these devices. Some allow you to electrify yourself and use your fingertips to be the contact point. So you can stroke your partner with a finger that gives them little sparks as you stroke. There are floggers and canes that can be electrified through your hand so you can add that extra spice to the flogging. Violet wands are lower amperage than other electro stimulation toys and therefore are the safest. They can be used above the waist without fear. There are so many different sensations produced by these making them a great toy to use long term, More information can be found from the International Violet Wand Guild – violetwands.org.

Sex Spoken Here Sex Toys for Curvy Girls Welcome to my virtual therapy room! I am Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and this is Sex Spoken Here. Remember that this podcast deals with adult themes so if you don’t have privacy you might wish to put on your headphones. Today I am continuing my series on sex toys. So far in this series, I looked at vibrators and vibrating toys, dildos and butt plus. If you haven’t had the opportunity to listen to the first two episodes in the series, I encourage you to do so. In addition to opening the only plus-size lingerie store in the nation (Curvy Girl Lingerie), Chrystal Bougon is an author, blogger, sex toy expert and owner/founder of BlissConnection.com, a tasteful online romance store. A high-tech corporate refugee who switched to sex tech in 2003, Chrystal’s mission is to teach women and couples of all sizes how to have better sex and incorporate toys into their romantic life. Hi! Welcome to the show. Let’s talk about sex toys for curvy girls. Chrystal spoke about the best sex toys for women (and people) of size. She spoke about the particular problems of having lower belly fat that gets in the way of reaching the clitoris and/or shorter arms. People with these issues need a toy with a bit more reach. She started by talking about the old standard the Hitachi Magic Wand but did say that the power can be a problem for some people. She mentioned that for super size people, sitting on the wand can work well. She spoke about men who have erectile dysfunction finding the wand useful for being able to coax out an ejaculation even without getting an erection because the power of the vibrator helps. She spoke about the Womanizer as being a game changing toy and that they have come out with a new one (the plus) which has an 8 ¼ inch reach so makes it better. She mentioned the orchid which is like a bullet with a long handle. She talked about the bullet as being the old standard and mentioned that it can be good for those people who are taking medication like antidepressants and anti-anxiety who can have difficulty with orgasm. Chrystal mentioned that Clarityn and other antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness as well. Chrystal mentioned the Eva as one of the new toys she loves. This is also one of the new ones I love. She pointed out that it works particularly well for women who have extra fat on their vulvas. Chrystal gave a shout out to Sportsheets as a great company who has designed toys with fat people in mind. She spoke about the doggy style strap as being a brilliant toy to help people get into a better doggy style position and for deep penetration. We spoke about how much better sex toys are when women are involved in the design process. We spoke briefly about electro stim toys which are now much more affordable. Chrystal and I both agreed that if you have someone you trust you can say yes to trying everything.

We get under your clothes and talk plus size lingerie in this episode of the Big Curvy Love podcast! Chrystal Bougon joins us in the love lounge. She is the owner and founder of Curvy Girl Lingerie AKA America’s first ever plus size lingerie brick and mortar boutique! We start out chatting about plus size lingerie and delve into the world of adult toys for plus size women, the issues curvy women face in buying sexy lingerie, why Chrystal chose to create her own reality tv show rather than hand it over to producers, plus size sex and how she came to be published in Jes Baker's book Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls.
Why are there no leading ladies in romantic comedies who are plus size? Michael Elliot the screenwriter behind Carmen: A Hip-Hopera Like Mike, Brown Sugar and Just Wright wants to change that! He's launched “Project Curvy Girl Movie Star” and is on a mission to make a movie with a plus size woman as the romantic lead (and not just as the fat and funny friend).
