This week on Come Curious, Reed sits down with kink theorist, power exchange mentor and educator Tripp Terrier to unpack one of the most misunderstood roles in BDSM: the dominant. Together they explore why true dominance isn't about control, arrogance or entitlement but instead, it's about presence, responsibility and service. Tripp shares his unique perspective on power exchange, explaining how authority is earned through knowledge, patience and skill rather than demanded through status or ego. They discuss the importance of integrating every part of yourself including the feminine and more uncomfortable aspects of your personality, and why self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools a dominant can develop. Inside the episode: - Why dominance is a giving role, not a taking one- The difference between confidence and entitlement- How power exchange can become deeply transformative- Why consent is more complex than a simple "yes" or "no"- The role of humility in healthy masculinity and leadership- Supporting partners through subdrop and emotional vulnerability Tripp also shares his essential reading list for anyone curious about kink, including The Topping Book and The Bottoming Book by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton, alongside The Heart of Dominance and The Dominance Playbook by Anton Fulmen. Whether you're dominant, submissive, curious or simply interested in healthier models of masculinity, this conversation offers a fascinating look into power, connection and personal responsibility.

When Someone You Love Is Kinky: Love, Fear, and the Power of Acceptance with Janet Hardy

The Weekly Hot Spot

Today's episode isn't just a podcast about kink or BDSM – it's a masterclass in emotional courage, vulnerability and redefining power in loving relationships. Author / kink educator, Janet Hardy helps to bridge the chasm between “normalcy” and kink. Listener questions drive this episode and you're likely to hear your own worries in their questions. You don't have to be kinky to benefit from these insights - many of these issues are universal challenges in life: how do you be vulnerable enough to speak what you want and is it always a good idea to be blunt?We begin with this question: “What if a woman struggles to own her power because of cultural beliefs?” As Footstool so poignantly puts it, many men fantasize about their vanilla partner becoming their Mistress — but how does she step into dominance when a lifetime of conditioning whispers, “Be nice. Be passive. Don't lead.”? Janet offers a compassionate, no-nonsense response: Dominance isn't about dominance — it's about responsibility, clarity, and self-awareness. You don't need to be born a Domme. You become one — through practice, reflection, and permission to shed old scripts.Then came Wellspanked's dilemma: “When negotiating spanking, should we talk technique and intensity beforehand — clinically — or let it unfold in the heat of the moment?” The tension here is real: too much planning kills the spark; too little, and safety frays. Janet reminds us that true eroticism thrives in the space between trust and structure. Yes — talk logistics outside the scene. But leave room for improvisation within it. A safe word isn't a buzzkill — it's the foundation of freedom.One of our listeners, Ben, shared a fear so common it aches: “If my partner rejects my kinks, is the relationship irrevocably broken?” Janet's answer? No — but it might need to evolve. Rejection isn't always final. Sometimes, it's the first step toward honest dialogue. What matters isn't immediate acceptance — it's willingness to listen, to be curious,and to try. What do you do if you get bad news? Janet has an honest answer - the relationship may need to change form — or end — with dignity.Then came the knife-edge question: “Can a partner ever see you as equal after extreme degradation?” This cuts to the heart of humiliation play — one of the most misunderstood, feared, and exciting dynamics in kink. Janet doesn't flinch. She explains that the power of degradation lies not in the words, but in the aftercare. It's not about erasing dignity — it's about temporarily suspending it, with consent, for shared catharsis. And yes — equality returns, if both partners honor the reintegration. The scene ends. The love remains.Erika then turned to Janet's latest work — Notes on an Aging Pervert — a book that's “funny, sad, mind-bending.” She asked: Which essay was a lightbulb moment — for you or someone you love? Janet shared a story about aging, desire, and the myth of the “perfect scene.” The real magic, Janet said, isn't in the play — it's in what happens after:How do you come back to each other? How do you integrate the intensity? That's where connection deepens — not in the whip, but in the whisper that follows.We closed with a truth that resonates through every episode of The Weekly Hot Spot podcast: Kink isn't an escape from love — it's a path into it. Deeper. Messier. More honest.If you've ever feared being “too much,” or worried you're “not enough,” this conversation is for you.Tune in. Listen closely. And ask yourself: What would it feel like to be truly seen — kinks and all?Janet Hardy's websiteWhen Someone You Love is KinkyThe Ethical SlutRadical Ecstasy Mistress Olivia's blog: Experienced MistressOlivia@EnchantrixEmpire.comMistress Erika's blog: Intelligent Phone FantasyErika@EnchantrixEmpire.comDISCORD: LDWOlivia and LDWErika

What happens when surrender becomes sacred? When boundaries are not barriers—but bridges to deeper intimacy? Meet one of the most influential voices in modern kink culture. Janet Hardy is today's guest. She's the co-author of the revolutionary The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures and Radical Ecstasy: SM Journeys to Transcendence … to name just two of her books. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Listeners of The Weekly Hot Spot podcast, sent in a lot of questions and inspired this intimate conversation.Topics include:The intersections of power, pain, love and liberation.Myths and fears about ethical non-monogamy in kink spaces.Details about the new Workbook for The Ethical Slut.When Janet shares about how real change begins with honest self-inquiry, not permission from others, all three women talk about claiming their own personal erotic power. What does it mean to really choose who you are in your relationships? And, what is beyond tolerating a relationship. Hint: it's not always easy or safe to open up to this view of love and pleasure.  Janet talks about building emotional resilience when having these vulnerable conversations.You'll hear Mistress Olivia's personal reflection on how Radical Ecstasy transformed her understanding of Dominance and submission — not as control, but as co-created surrender. “Pain is not the goal. Surrender is.” That one line shifted everything. Together, they explore how power exchange is one of the most intimate acts we're capable of — a dance where trust becomes tangible, and vulnerability becomes strength.We also tackle real listener questions:A trans woman shares her experience of feeling Dominant with male partners and submissive with female ones — is this a known dynamic? Janet offers thoughtful insight into gendered power dynamics and erotic archetypes.For the nervous beginner — especially the "vanilla wife" being asked to step into Dominance — what are the real fears women face? Spoiler: It's not about lack of interest. It's about responsibility, judgment, and the weight of expectation.And then… the eternal debate: Who's really in control — the Domme or the sub? Janet's answer may surprise you. (Hint: It's not a power struggle — it's a paradox.)Finally, for those walking the spiritual edge of kink, we explore how to distinguish emotional overwhelm from authentic spiritual surrender — because not every tear in a scene is transcendence. Some are signals. Learning the difference? That's where true mastery begins.This episode isn't just for kinksters. It's for anyone who's ever loved deeply, feared openly, or longed to be seen. It's about coming into power — not over others, but within yourself.Janet Hardy WebsiteThe Ethical SlutRadical EcstasyMistress Olivia's blog:  Experienced Mistressolivia@enchantrixempire.comMistress Erika's blog: Intelligent Phone Fantasyerika@enchantrixempire.comDISCORD: LDWOlivia and LDWErika

This week involves understanding polyamory which involves distinguishing it from open relationships, which focus on physical exploration, while polyamory emphasizes forming emotional bonds with multiple partners. Core principles include consent, communication, non-exclusivity, compersion, individual autonomy, customization, and emotional honesty, with relationship structures ranging from hierarchical to non-hierarchical, solo, parallel, and kitchen table polyamory. Exploring the intersection of polyamory and BDSM reveals how they complement each other, with individuals navigating dynamics with multiple partners. While challenges like jealousy and societal stigma exist, embracing ethical principles fosters healthier relationships. Navigating New Relationship Energy (NRE) is crucial, and The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy is recommended reading for further insights. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chattingwiththelightkeepr/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chattingwiththelightkeepr/support

Please join us for episode 49 of Open Deeply with the legendary, Janet Hardy. Janet is most known for the Ethical Slut, but she is a prolific writer of over a dozen groundbreaking books. In this episode, she reads from her soon to be published book, Notes of an Aging Pervert. This novel is SO kind, vulnerable and honest regarding the uncomfortable subjects of aging and facing mortality. We're all going to die, but we remain avoidant of the subject. Janet holds our hand and makes thinking about this topic way easier. Here is one excerpt from the book, ““I've come to think of my lifetime as a relatively brief vacation, and my body as resortwear — perhaps a nice sundress, or a pair of comfy shorts. Like all vacations, this one will feel like it's over much too soon.” She also discusses family, love, relationships, and of course, k1nk including several kinky memories. One of the most captivating parts of the book is when she tells the story of being present for her father's “good death” which is mystical, awe inspiring and beautiful. In addition, the paperback is filled with Janet's original raw and lovable artwork of herself and loved ones. In this interview Janet discusses the vulnerability of including nude drawings of herself and why she decided to include them. The book has a certain comfy and comforting quality to it, despite the scary topics, that makes one want to grab a blanket and some hot cocoa and curl up while reading it. It's a love gift. It's a book that helped me sit in reverence for this iconic human that has blazed a trail for so many, including me, so that in turn, our own path might not be so hard. We hope you join us for this captivating episode as we discuss this amazing book. Janet's bio: Janet W. Hardy is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen groundbreaking books about relationships and sexuality, including The Ethical Slut, which has sold more than 300,000 copies to date. She spent the first three decades of her life believing that she was the only person in the world who got turned on by thinking about spanking. She wrote her first book, The Sexually Dominant Woman, to help create a world in which nobody else would ever be that clueless. Janet has traveled the world as a speaker and teacher on topics ranging from ethical multipartner relationships to erotic spanking and beyond. She has appeared in documentary films, television shows, and more podcasts and radio shows than she can count. She has narrated audio versions of many of her books, and looks forward to doing more. Janet spent a quarter century as editor-in-chief of Greenery Press, the firm she founded in 1992, which went on to publish dozens of books about alternative sexuality and relationships. While she has retired from being a publisher, she goes on writing, drawing, editing and educating about sexuality. Janet lives the life of a kinky poly queer genderbent geezer in Eugene, Oregon, with her spouse and a whole lot of pets.

Anche questo Febbraio abbiamo deciso di parlare di amore e di relazioni, ma in modo diverso da come succede di solito, perché parliamo di non monogamie: un tema che abbiamo trattato più volte su Instagram, ma mai qui sul podcast. Il libro del mese è La Zoccola Etica di Dossie Easton e Janet Hardy, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1997 e tradotto in Italia soltanto nel 2014. Perché si parla di non monogamie in un podcast transfemminista? Perché le strutture relazionali non monogame ci consentono di riflettere in modo più ampio sui concetti di possesso, autodeterminazione, indipendenza ed altri che hanno molto a che fare con le questioni di genere e la nostra società patriarcale. Riscrivere i modelli relazionali oltre quello mononormato singifica mettere in discussione tutto quello che ci è sempre stato detto sulle relazioni. Un altro tassello molto importante da aggiungere alla nostra libreria femminista nella crescita collettiva che stiamo facendo insieme attraverso i libri!

This story was told at Dossie's Story Toast in 2019, where we celebrated both her 75th birthday and the 50th Anniversary of *this*, Dossie's life-changing trip to a new sexually empowered version of feminism. Gather your strength and be inspired by Dossie's true tale as we prepare to challenge what's next. #WorkToDo #TooIntelligent #TooOutspoken #TooStrong #TheRiddleOfTheUniverse   Song: ‘Unstoppable' (Sia) About the Storyteller:   Dossie Easton, a long time player on the San Francisco S/M scene, is co-author with Janet Hardy of The Ethical Slut, The Bottoming and Topping Books, and Radical Ecstasy:  SM Journeys to Transcendence.     Dossie is a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and more in her private practice in San Francisco, with a particular interest in how S/M journeys into Shadow can bring old wounds into the healing light of consciousness and and give them a shot of life force in the form of good hot sex.    An active sex radical since 1961, Dossie was a member of the first Board of Directors of the Society of Janus in San Francisco in 1974, and active with SFSI from 1973 to 1985. Currently she makes her home in the mountains north of San Francisco, travels to teach at conferences all over the world, and wanders through the mountains around her home declaiming filthy poetry to the vultures.

Finding love is hard. Are we making it harder by trying to apply outdated courtship rules to modern dating? Why is it that as powerful women we can boldly re-write the rules of the board room, but we are timid and hesitant to re-write the rules of love?   For this week's season finale, join Syd as she explores the mysterious, exciting and dare I say, TABOO world of ethical non monogamy with special guests, professional matchmaker, Yolanda Kelly, and ethical non monogamy practitioner Breahna Wright.   Yolanda Kelly is the owner of Love En Vogue Matchmaking, a boutique matchmaking agency located in Atlanta, GA for people of color.

Polyamory: the practice of engaging in multiple romantic (and typically sexual) relationships, with the consent of all the people involved Open Relationships: having more than one romantic or sexual partner at a time. It's an arrangement that both parties agree is non-exclusive or non-monogamous. Monogamy: an exclusive relationship with only one partner (sexual and romantic) at a time.   Can you cheat in an open relationship? Yes, you can cheat in an open relationship. Generally, the participants in an open relationship set the terms of engagement for the relationship. If one of the participants crosses a boundary or breaks a term of engagement, that would be considered cheating.   Is monogamy dead? Monogamy isn't dead. People can still engage in healthy monogamous relationships, if both participants put the effort and time into maintaining the exclusivity of the relationship, However, ethical non-monogamy is probably more pervasive than we realize. People just aren't openly discussing it.   How do you match people interested in open relationships or how do you begin participating in open relationships?   Yolanda: I mostly match singles interested in traditional relationships. But on the rare occasion that I match a person interested in open relationships, I am typically helping them to find their central partners where there is a hierarchy to the relationships.   Bre: I got into open relationships simply because my current partner asked me if I was interested in being in an open relationship. After that, I did my own research and decided that it was something that I would like to try.   What was most appealing to you about open relationships? Bre: The most appealing aspect of being in an open relationship was not feeling like I had to choose. I don't have to choose in my platonic relationships, and I like not having to choose in my romantic relationships.   How do you manage jealousy in open relationships? Bre: You have to do your inner work to determine your insecurities surrounding sharing your partner. I don't feel like I have any claim of ownership over my partner(s) and so I don't mind who else they spend their time with, so long as my needs are being met and they are honoring their commitment(s) to me.   Yolanda: Jealousy isn't unique to open relationships. Jealousy also exists in monogamous relationships. Everyone has to get to the root of their insecurities to manage their jealousy.   Does engaging in open relationships make dating easier (especially for Black women)? Yolanda: I think it does because it provides you with more options for finding meaningful relationships.   Bre: I have found that it has made dating more difficult because there are a lot of men who aren't interested in participating in an open relationship.   What advice do you have for those wishing to engage in open relationships? Whatever you decide to do, just make sure that it feels right for you. Don't worry about what other people think or have to say. The only thing that matters is your happiness.   What resources or books do you recommend on navigating open relationships?

Welcome to The Philosophy of Sex, long-play. This week, we're speaking with Janet Hardy from the sixth episode of season 1 ‘Hardcore tenderness. Reinterpreting what we think about kink and BDSM.' Janet W. Hardy is the author or co-author of thirteen books about alternative sexuality, including the groundbreaking bestseller The Ethical Slut. She is also the Founder of the Greenery Press, a publishing house based in California, specialises in books on BDSM and polyamory, with over 50 titles in print.Janet is an experienced BDSM practitioner and she's been educating people from across the globe on how to engage in BDSM and polyamory for over 20 years. Much of Janet's work has contributed hugely to establishing a gold standard in behaviour within BDSM and polyamorous communities. And while her work focuses on BDSM and kink, I believe her advice is applicable to anyone who wants to have fulfilling sexual relationships. In this episode, Janet and I discuss identifying kinks, ways to explore them and how to communicate these to a partner. We also unpack what society often misunderstands about kink and its hidden powers. Janet is a wealth of knowledge and speaks with the level of frankness essential for great sexual communication. I can't recommend Janet, and her co-author Doisse Easton's work more. Please enjoy our full interview. You can read more about Janet and her work here: http://www.dossieeaston.com/books.htmlhttps://slutandsons.com/Connect with us:@becuming.meBecuming takes the frustration out of finding the perfect sex toy by sending you personalised recommendations.

Would you consider yourself kinky or maybe more vanilla? Have you ever wanted to explore the world of BDSM, but felt a bit lost and intimidated?In this episode, we explore the softer side of kink. By deconstructing some of the many misunderstandings surrounding kink and BDSM, we begin to see kink in a whole new light. Along with Professional Dominatrix and Gestalt Therapist Emma Steel, and author Janet Hardy, we traverse the nuances of power dynamics, communication, and safety.Sex educator and disability advocate, Caz Killjoy, shows us the enormously vast ways kink can be experienced, sharing their experience of using kink to manage chronic pain and unpack harmful conditioning. We also discuss some of the conundrums that arise when the activities of underground communities become more mainstream, and the importance of education in preventing injuries and reducing harm. Resources:Caz Killjoy has a bounty of writings on her website: https://connectwithcaz.com/Caz co-founded The Disability and Sexuality Access Network: https://www.dasanetwork.org/Emma Steel's website: https://en.lady-emma-steel.com/The dungeon Emma co-owns - LUX: http://studioluxberlin.de/en/studio-lux.htmlRead this interview with Janet Hardy and find her books here: https://www.bookdepository.com/author/Janet-W-HardyConnect with us: @becumingmehttps://www.becuming.me/Becuming takes the frustration out of finding the perfect sex toy by sending you personalised recommendations.

This week we talked to Emerson, the person behind The Kink Educator Instagram account that serves up bite-sized informative tidbits all about how to engage in safe and healthy kink. We discuss the four main pillars of kink: negotiation, consent, communication, and aftercare. Emerson believes that these concepts can be used not only in kinky sex, but also in vanilla sex and even non-sexual situations. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode on kink if we didn't discuss the problematic Mr. Christian Grey...but we also share our views on other pop culture instances of kink, including the movie Secretary and the new Netflix show Bonding. To finish up the episode, Emerson gave us a list of her favorite resources for getting involved in kink, including The New Bottoming Book and The New Topping Book by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton, the Ask a Sub meme account on Instagram that also has a Patreon for long-form content, Watts the Safeword on Youtube, and Evie Lupine on Youtube.
