Please join us as Sunny describes what her new life is like an expat in Portugal. In 2023, her family got rid of most of their belongings from a lifetime in the U.S. and moved to the Azores, an archipelago in the mid-Atlantic that is part of Portugal. The islands are characterized by gorgeous, dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, green pastures, and hedgerows of blue hydrangeas. It's even more breathtaking than it sounds. The islands can be found right between New York and Portugal, about three hours either way. So, in this episode, Sunny tells us about her journey and what it's like being an ex-pat on a beautiful little island. Is it the little slice of heaven that it seems? And what is it like being far away, as we, here in the U.S., cascade towards our election day with the hopes of maintaining our democracy. We will find out all this and more in this episode. Sunny's bio related to kink: Sunny began teaching about BDSM in 2010. Her area of expertise is the soft skills--which center around things like ethics, cultivating self-awareness, and strategies for effective communication. She received a FROST Certificate of Gratitude in 2020 honoring her service to the kink community, was voted XBIZ sexpert of the year in 2021, and Kinkly's sex blogging superhero in 2017. Her alternative sexuality focused podcast American Sex was awarded the AASECT podcast award in 2020. Sunny also creates curriculum about BDSM for sexuality professionals. Some of her most recent projects include designing & teaching the BDSM unit for a well-known sex educator certification program plus a lesson for the Sexual Health Alliance's Kink Informed Certification Program for therapists and other care professionals. Sunny's first book, Customizable Kink: A Strategic Guide to Erotic Play is scheduled to be released in 2022.

“Why an Ambiamorous Person Might Choose Polyamory An ambiamorous person may choose polyamory because: They want to be with a person that has polyamorous relationships. Again, this is a very common reason and very straightforward. While someone who is strictly monogamous might consider it a large sacrifice to adapt to dating a polyamorous person, for an ambiamorous person this is typically not that big of a deal at all, especially if they, too, are able to pursue relationships with other people if they want. They hit the love jackpot and found multiple people that they love and connect with on a deep level and who fit into their life beautifully and harmoniously. They enjoy the close network of support and friendship that can form between metamours. Their relationship system often functions as a chosen family. They place a high value upon allowing their partners to have the freedom to see other people, even in situations where they themselves may date less frequently than their partners (or even be functionally monogamous themselves, from time to time. -Kinkly.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

In this episode our guest is A'magine. A'magine is an author, educator, speaker and filmmaker. She came to the cafe to discuss her documentary called At Your Cervix. A new film exposing the little-known unethical practice of conducting non-consensual pelvic exams on unconscious patients. Grab your warm drink and tune in for a great conversation!Some key takeaways:Consent is non-negotiable: Patients have the right to set clear boundaries and be fully informed about all medical procedures involving their bodies.Advocacy matters: Being proactive, asking questions, and educating oneself before medical appointments can help protect against unethical practices. Support is crucial: We must work together to enact legislation, address systemic issues, and provide resources to empower patients and hold institutions accountable.The lack of consent is a critical issue that affects patients and medical students alike. Gynecological teaching associates (GTAs) are an excellent way for medical students to learn how to do pelvic exams with feedback.Watch the film, At Your Cervix!About A'magineA'magine earned her Master's degree in Human Sexuality Education at New York University and has been teaching and speaking about feminism and sexuality for over two decades. Formerly known as Amy Jo Goddard, she is author of Woman on Fire: Nine Elements to Wake up Your Erotic Energy, Personal Power and Sexual Intelligence and co-author of the best-selling classic Lesbian Sex Secrets for Men, both published by Penguin Random House. A coastal transplant to New Mexico, she currently thrives in the desert of the southwest, residing with her wild feline friends, who, she claims are evolved teachers about empowered sexuality and healthy boundaries.A'magine was named one of Go Magazine's “100 Women We Love” and Kinkly's “100 Sex Blogging Superheroes.” She works with women and couples on their sexual and relationship lives and she is a corporate and media consultant. She helps companies, media outlets, health care institutions and universities improve workplaces and the lives of women and elevate media representations of women and LGBTQ people. A'magine's award winning documentary film, At Your Cervix, aims to improve pelvic exams for all patients and to end unethical medical practices that harm women and transgender people. A'magine has begun to advocate for state laws banning the use of anesthetized patients without consent.

“Sex-positive feminism is the idea that women's sexual freedom is an important component of their freedom in general. Academics in this subject cover many elements of female sexuality, including teen sex, prostitution, transgender issues, and the female role in BSDM. In general, sex-positive feminists are against laws and other barriers that aim to control consensual sexual activity. Sex-positive feminism is connected to the sex-positive movement and shares many of its values of sex as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable. Sex-positive feminism may also be called pro-sex feminism, sex-radical feminism, and sexually liberal feminism. Sex positive is a term used to describe the idea that individuals should openly embrace their own sexuality rather than suppress it. Individuals who agree with the sex positive movement are open about their sexual orientations and sexual identities, and are comfortable with wearing sexually revealing clothing or otherwise expressing their sexuality as they see fit. They are comfortable exploring their bodies as well as exploring different sexual practices that intrigue and arouse them. They are also much more tolerant of other people's sexual interests and activities, and do not criticize anyone for their sexual decisions as long as they are safe. Being sex positive does not equate to being careless or putting yourself at risk sexually. While the sex positive movement does encourage sexual freedom, it also centers around being safe while doing so. This means protecting yourself from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections by using condoms and practicing safe sex. Overall, the sex postive movement views sexuality - in all its many facets - as a positive part of being human, rather than something to be ashamed of.” -Kinkly.com. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Sometimes this podcast is about what BLOCKS us from opening deeply. When I heard Sunny's episode on American Sex about grooming within the kink scene, I knew that I wanted to be sure that Open Deeply listeners heard it as well. So we are reposting it here!. Adult grooming is often misunderstood — from what it looks like, to who is most vulnerable, what types of people groom, and why — most assume it can't happen to them. The fact is, grooming comes in many forms and can happen in any type of relationship – including BDSM dynamics. And because kink often involves power imbalances, it can be especially difficult to recognize in this context. Whether you're new to kink or a seasoned veteran, this episode will give you the tools to spot unhealthy power dynamics in BDSM and deconstruct preconceived notions of what manipulative abuse looks like, who can do it, and why. You'll also learn: - The six stages of grooming as they apply to D/s dynamics - How to recognize coercive abuse in BDSM relationships - How pop culture kink stereotypes fuel grooming within BDSM - The end goal of the groomer's behavior - How my breakable rules analysis can help you spot unhealthy kink & more Sunny's bio related to kink: Sunny began teaching about BDSM in 2010. Her area of expertise is the soft skills--which center around things like ethics, cultivating self-awareness, and strategies for effective communication.

Being a part of community isn't required to practice BDSM, although it may seem like it due to visibility. What is important is knowing the positive and negative ways community influences the kink subculture. Yes, mainstream myths and stereotypes contribute to BDSM stigma, however, misleading info from the community causes harm too. On ep 188 of American Sex, Sunny Megatron & Kate Loree discuss this plus give advice on verifying the validity of educational info, sniffing out gatekeeping and “one twue wayisms,” doing effective gut checks in consent situations, and more.

What happens to the body & mind during the altered states of consciousness subspace & topspace?

2021's XBIZ Sexpert of the year and kink superhero, Sunny Megatron, is on a mission to disrupt the BDSM world. It's high time to shake up norms and bring the kink community next level with up-to-date standards around consent, ethics, and self-awareness while considering how inclusivity, misogyny, education, attitudes, racism and all the isms impact the whole kit and kaboodle. In this episode, we continue our kinky discussion from episode twenty-two as Sunny tells us more about why her book, “Customizable Kink: A Strategic Guide to Erotic Play” is so necessary. She explains how the patriarchal feedback loop has impacted both the kink community and the media's portrayal of kink to the masses. All the while, she stresses that she is not dissing traditionalists, but simply stating, “Don't force it on others.” When Sunny coined the key concept “kink is customizable”, she shed a light on just how much creativity and flexibility is possible with kink. The possibilities are limitless as long as you remember consent. And on that note, Sunny goes on to tell us about her educational acronym, the consent PASSM which undoubtably will make an amazing t-shirt. So, I hope you join us for this important and fascinating episode of Open Deeply. Side note: If you would like to vote for Sunny as XBIZ's sexpert for 2022, the link is below.

If there is anyone who embodies a plethora of kinktastic knowledge, it's my co-host, Sunny Megatron. She's a fountain of knowledge on everything from clown kink to humiliation play and has shaped many a psychotherapist into being kink-aware through her classes. In this episode, we chat about how Sunny originally got into kink, how she customizes her kink for her own needs, and how she has taught others how to shape their kink into their own tailor-made version of perverted fun. Sunny explains how she negotiates, takes her sub on a kinky roller coaster ride followed by rolling back into the station with after care specifically designed for them. Furthermore, Sunny describes both the potential emotional and somatic benefits of kink along with how it may impact us neurologically while always stressing that although kink can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. Please join us for this amazing episode of Open Deeply in which we all learn that BDSM is way more delightful fun than just ropes, paddles and floggers.

On this episode of The Krypt Mayfair85 is joining me to take a dive into BDSM Primal Play. - Rules to Love By1: Safe, sane, consensual, and informed2: KNKI: Knowledge, No Intolerance, Kindness, Integrity3: “Submission is not about authority and it’s not about obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.” -Wm. Paul Young- Primal Play Defined- http://www.bdsmwiki.info/Primal- Primal play in the kink context is getting to a place where the masks of civilization can fall away and allow for acting on urges and impulses more directly.These can be raw, rough sexual feelings, but they could also be joy, silliness, deep feelings of love and intimacy, feelings of deep tenderness, even sadness and grief.“Primal” doesn’t necessarily have to mean “rough” (though it often may); it’s more a matter of being raw and unfiltered, whatever the feelings present are.The term Primal may refer to a type of play, an identity, or a style of relationships and further primal play is often synonymous with pet play.Primal tendencies often do not often conform to rigorous structures involved with protocol but often do have a d/s element which is often established through some for of dominance display.Primal play is sometimes subdivided into preferred roles:Primal Predator: A primal who seeks to hunt and attempt to capture prey.Primal Prey: A primal who seeks to be hunted by a predator.RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink)Primal play frequently contains elements of rough body play and fear play.It is important to note that intentionally evoking raw and unfiltered emotions and reactions can sometimes lead to increased safety risks (emotionally and physically) due to loss of self control. Because of this potential, some may consider primal play to be a form of edge play.- https://www.kinkly.com/definition/12231/primal - A primal is someone who enjoys primal play. Primal play is a style of BDSM that focuses on raw feelings and actions that are evoked by natural impulses and urges. Social norms and niceties are discarded for a very unfiltered self. The civilized shell gives way to emotions and sexual desire that ranges from happiness, joy, playfulness, silliness, sadness, and grief. It is arguable that one cannot be fully primal out of prioritizing safety and comfort. However, primal play allows the submissive who loves to be fully dominated to experience their fantasy. This practice involves using the kink tools we were born with: nails, hair, teeth, and skin. Primal play is based around the concept of retreating back to the primitive animal persona, where labels and protocols don't apply. Wrestling, pulling hair back, biting, and growling are some of the many things that fit into this style of BDSM.- Kinkly explains Primal- Primal play is a form of BDSM practice that displays raw, emotional, sexual feelings. Being primal includes fighting and animalistic tendencies. Subsequently, it is important that the dominant and submissive are communicative with one another to ensure comfort with the situation. The primal state is purely instinctual. Reason and learned behavior are tossed out when practicing primal play with a partner. As long as there is a high level of trust between the two partners, primal play can be a very intimate and explosive BDSM and sex practice.- From “The Submissive Guide” by slavekathy- https://www.submissiveguide.com/fundamentals/articles/what-is-primal-play - Mr. Samsonite. Every group has one; you know, the guy who can't show up to the play party without enough luggage to go on a two-week European tour? He puts on his little kid gloves and unpacks his embarrassment of kinky riches, and by the time he gets them all out, the party is halfway over. We all know this dominant, and his precise, measured method of play. It's fine if it works for him. However, what if Mr. Mechanical isn't what gets your juices flowing? Many slaves and submissives enjoy a more hands-on approach to play, and no expensive tools or toys are required.You were born with all the kink toys you need for playing primal: teeth, nails, hair, and skin.Pure and abject submission isn't what's called for here; the dominant who prefers primal play wants to fight. Primal play may be your perfect fit if you're the bratty sub who yearns to be overwhelmed, conquered and forced to submit to a stronger, more powerful dominant.A primal play scene may look like wrestling or even martial arts. There may be pressure points involved and even rope bondage, but the thing that sets primal play apart from other types is raw, emotional, sexual feelings displayed. All of the labels, roles, and protocols go out the window during primal play, and the bottom can become a snarling, growling, clawing animal hell-bent on getting away. More sensual types of primal play can look like two animals greeting each other. The top can sniff the submissive, growl in her ear, pull her hair back and bite her neck while holding her immobile.One caveat: if you're going to do some of the more edgy types of primal play in a public play space, be sure to let the DM's know what it is you are doing. Primal play is just that...primal, and it can be disturbing to observers who may not be familiar with the concept of an s-type actually fighting back in earnest.https://KuldrinsKrypt.com/Patreon https://kuldrinskrypt.com/silentcommunication https://KuldrinsKrypt.com/survey https://kuldrinskrypt.com/TeePublic Show notes can be found at https://kuldrinskrypt.com/251Thank you: Show Producers:Benefactor ($2,000/month): Pro Producer ($100/month):Master Producer ($50/month): Executive Producer ($25/month) ShadowyFox, JunicornsAngel, and Johnny FerrellSr. Producers ($10/month): Matt, xEmeraldxWolfx, Roxiebear, ThatPlace: Oklahoma City, JayKay, SirMutualRespect, Master Gabriel, babylove & Sir, Sir Pent, PurplePantera, SortOutTheKinks, Daddy Steve, Stella, CIVLdisobedience, Grog4life, Raefe, and Author Mistress Black RoseProducers ($5/month): Kainsin, Seine (Zine), Alexandria, Hayley, KJ, Duckie Monroe, Journey, Hadea, Rie, and Derpy HoovesJr. Producers ($1/month): K-2SO, BuffaloDom84, Morgana13, knot_the_daddy, Jeremiah, macNmiller, and Lily ChaosBe a show producer: https://kuldrinskrypt.com/PatreonVendors I know, like, trust, and use: (None of these are paid sponsors of the podcast.)http://bdsmcontracts.org Coupon code: kuldrin20 for a 20% discount on all purchases.http://whippingstripes.com - My personal maker of leather and paracord impact toys.http://www.torridtimber.com/ - Fine fetish furniture and accessorieshttps://fetlife.com/users/9885653 - Tinks-Toys on FetlifeContact info:Email: Sir@kuldrinskrypt.comFetlife Group: https://fetlife.com/groups/159275Fb: Kuldrin Fire https://www.facebook.com/kuldrin.fireTwitter: @MasterKuldrin https://twitter.com/MasterKuldrinInstagram: masterkuldrin https://www.instagram.com/masterkuldrin/Patreon: kuldrinskrypt https://www.patreon.com/KuldrinsKryptPaypal: MasterKuldrin http://paypal.me/masterkuldrinhttp://kuldrinskrypt.com/contactresourceLimits and Interest Survey: https://kuldrinskrypt.com/survey

Patrons who support at $3 and above, this week you get to hear a bonus chat between JoEllen and I on this cultural idea that people with depression are essentially asexual, desexualized humans and what JoEllen actually found in all of her research plus looking at sex as an a la carte menu versus a buffet. (And Eeyore masturbating totally gets talked about.) Hear it at patreon.com/sgrpodcast. In this episode, JoEllen and I talk about her new book, "The Monster Under the Bed" which is all about sex, depression, and relationships. We talk about how the entire world is coping and struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, and trying to survive the unknown. How normal it is to be feeling numb and disconnected while also feeling more emotional and tender. We explore how being in close quarters with a partner can lead to a reckoning with our relationships, important questions to ask ourselves during these times when we're wondering if our relationship is the problem or just how terrible things are in general and how to tease out whether it's the person or the relationship. JoEllen and I share some of the catastrophizing stories our brains like to tell us and ways we cope, plus communicating our mental health needs with a partner and why context matters SO much when it comes to our libido and pleasure. JoEllen also cannot stress enough how important it is to read Emily Nagoski's "Come As You Are" if you haven't already. Be sure to send in your questions! I would love to hear from you.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Conflicting and confusing information about sexuality? In our culture? Nooooo, really?!? Unfortunately, yes! You've heard about guy boners, but did you know that girl boners exist too? Yep, they're a thing . . . a real thing . . . Truth! If you grew up in North American culture (or just about any other culture across the globe), you probably didn't get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about sexuality! That was certainly the experience of August McLaughlin, host and creator of Girl Boner® and Girl Boner Radio and author of Girl Boner: The Good Girl's Guide to Sexual Empowerment. After having spent a lifetime in pursuit of sexual truth, August is an expert on all things sexual, especially Girl Boners! Join Aideen for a fun, probably racy, certainly insightful, and undoubtedly enlightening conversation with August McLaughlin about the truth of sexuality, sexual expression, and Girl Boners! August McLaughlin is a nationally recognized health and sexuality writer, media personality and creator of the female sexual empowerment brand Girl Boner. Her feature articles have appeared in Cosmopolitan.com, DAME magazine, the Huffington Post, Sexual Wellness News, LIVESTRONG.com, The Good Men Project and more. On her weekly web radio show and podcast, Girl Boner Radio, she interviews relationship experts, celebrity entertainers, “everyday” women and more, exploring women’s lives and sexuality “like no one else.” For the past several years, she’s been listed as one of Kinkly‘s 100 Sex Blog Superheros. In 2016, she was chosen to attend the United State of Women summit, convened by the White House, in Washington DC, as a nominated change maker, for her work in gender equality and women’s sexuality. As a speaker at Beverly Hill’s first TEDx Women event, in October 2016, she shared her story of surviving an eating disorder. (See her talk on the importance of self-embracement here.) Since recovering from anorexia and years of body dysmorphia, August has taught and mentored individuals with eating disorders and other psychological disorders on wellness and body image on an individual and group basis. She is the executive producer of Weight Limit—a body image-related PSA, and speaks professionally for a variety of audiences on body image, eating disorders and women’s sexuality. Known for melding personal passion with activism, August uses her skills as a public speaker and journalist to encourage women and people in the LGBTQIA+ community to embrace their bodies and sexuality, making way for fuller, more authentic lives. Publishers Weekly called her book, Girl Boner: The Good Girl’s Guide to Sexual Empowerment “equally fun, risqué, and informative” and “a welcome addition to sexual health literature.” The companion book, Girl Boner Journal: A Guided Journal to Sexual Joy and Empowerment, is now available.  https://augustmclaughlin.com/books/  https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Boner-Girls-Sexual-Empowerment/dp/1944995714/  https://augustmclaughlin.com/book/girl-boner-journal/  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-boner-radio/id814715884    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7po4cUMXpg&feature=youtu.be   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjoiqcart1An7I8yZPvECYg  august@augustmclaughlin.com    https://augustmclaughlin.com/ Author of My Exquisite Purple Life  Purchase Book Here or Audio Here https://www.balboapress.com/BookStore/BookDetails/752312-My-Exquisite-Purple-Life ~ More About In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola ~  Aideen T. Finnola is an empowerment coach, author, speaker, and radio show host. She is an unapologetic and empowered survivor of and thriver after physical, emotional, psychological, and religious abuse. As she was raised in a religious cult for the first two decades of her life and was then unsuspectingly married to a closeted gay man for her life’s next two decades, she has a lot of experience with varying degrees and expressions of untruth. These experiences have fueled her pursuit of truth to the point of a full-on passion (some might say obsession). Aideen has learned that above all, untruth is both unworkable and painful. Coming from the perspective that life, time and space, and the human experience are all perfect and good, she knows that truth can only exist within ideas and experiences that are both workable and enjoyable. Aideen coaches her clients to find their own truth by investigating outside the conventional parameters of “should and shouldn’t,” “good and bad,” and “right and wrong.” She guides them instead to evaluate their experiences by questioning “Is this working for me?” and “Am I enjoying this?” Aideen empowers people all over the world through her coaching, her memoir, My Exquisite Purple Life, her speaking, and her radio show. Her unwavering message is to look for truth, guidance, and answers within, because it’s all there inside! https://www.aideentfinnola.com/     ~    https://www.facebook.com/aideentfinnola    To get more of In Pursuit Of Truth ~ Aideen T.

Please enjoy again: Sex Spoken Here: BDSM and Power Exchange   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.   Last week I explored the practicalities for beginning to explore BDSM and Power Exchange.  This week I explore basic rules for events and resources for BDSM online and in the community.    If you haven’t heard the first four of the BDSM and Power Exchange Series, I suggest you download them.  The first two include interviews with Dr Kevin Boileau and cover some of the theory and emotional issues, the third in the series includes an interview with Pharoah Khaf Ra and Empress Nahara who are a lifestyle dominant couple and last week I started with practicalities like figuring out if you are dominant or submissive. I have talked about getting ready to step out and explore BDSM and power exchange whether you are doing it in private or in public.    But many people have no idea where to begin to look to meet people, for events or for clothing and accessories.  First I want to highlight that you don’t need to spend lots of money on special clothing and toys.    Most events have a dress code but most of them also will accept scant clothing (as close to nakedness as is legal in that jurisdiction) or being dressed all in black.   The dress code is supposed to encourage people to make an effort to get involved, look and feel sexy and to discourage those people who come along to gawk.  Gawking is different from watching when you are a proper voyeur.  Gawking is when someone comes to watch all the strange people and has no intention of getting involved in any way and when someone doesn’t observe basic courtesy either.  Basic courtesy includes: Don’t interfere in someone else’s scene.  If they are doing something you find interesting, watch from an appropriate distance.  That means don’t watch from 2 inches away.  I was once involved in a scene with a woman where I was performing oral sex on her and a man came and sat so close too watch that his face was almost between my mouth and her pussy.  He was told very firmly to move away.  When people are using floggers, whips and canes if you get within the circle of the stroke you will get injured and really annoy the person who is doing the beating.  Also, when people are in a scene, it creates a bubble and they are likely to be unaware of the outside world.  When someone blunders in, they break the bubble and the distraction can ruin the entire scene because it interrupts the energy flow.  Energy builds in a scene to a peak just like it does in sex when it builds to orgasm. No means no. Just because someone is at a public event does not mean they are there to play with everyone.  If someone says no, please respect it. Observe protocols.  Even if you find it strange to have to ask someone’s Master or Mistress to talk with them, please follow their protocols.  It is a means of demonstrating respect.  You can ask about reasons or the origins of the protocol but ultimately following it is the best way to show respect. Don’t spend time talking or asking questions in active areas of play.  This disrupts the energy and disrupts the scene.  There are usually conversation areas and people are usually happy to answer questions after the scene.  Remember that after care is part of the scene. Don’t make assumptions about role, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation.  Ask instead of assuming. Where to meet people online: There are lots of resources to meet people online.  Fetlife.com  is a social media site for people who like fetishes including BDSM and power exchange.  There are lots of different groups once you have joined.  You can join a group for events near your location to find out who might be close by.  You make a profile and people can search profiles in a number of ways, send emails and reach out to you via the groups you join. OK Cupid! has a large number of people who enjoy kink and BDSM.  You make a profile there in the same way you would on any other dating site. Facebook:  There are lots of BDSM and power exchange related Facebook groups.  Some are secret.  Others are just private.  Check group rules to see if looking to meet people is OK. Fester.com  is relatively new and apparently most folk are 30 or under. Collarspace.com  is mostly for hook ups.  Reviews are very mixed. BDSM.com is a space for talking about things as well as hooking up. Chained.org is site for meeting folks. Where to meet people offline besides events and parties: Going to a local munch is a great way to meet people in your area.  Munches are usually held monthly in a restaurant or pub.  People come dressed in normal clothing and are usually welcoming to newcomers. You can find munches listed on places like FetLife.com.  There are fetish markets in many cities.  London, UK has one every month.  There are lots of items for sale, usually short presentations and stage shows and lots of space to mingle and meet folk.  There is also usually a play party afterwards and the ticket prices are reasonable.    Finding toys and supplies: For bondage using rope: There are lots of online sites.  I recommend checking out https://www.twistedmonk.com This is the best site for different types of rope, rope care, how to videos etc. http://www.esinem-rope.com Excellent UK site for rope, tutorial DVDs. If you want to learn to make your own tools and toys: Check out the blogs on Kinkly.com For floggers, whips, restraints: http://www.detailstoys.com http://www.whipsbywolf.com/handmade-leather-floggers/ For gay men – hard core toys https://www.regulation-london.com Get recommendations from people you meet at events.  Of course you need not spend much money at all.  There are many ‘pervertables’ in most homes.  A pervertable is something that is ordinary that you can turn to a kinky purpose.  For example: Belts are extremely pervertable to use for a beating.  You can use wooden spoons (ouch!), spatulas.  Lots of things in the kitchen are pervertable. For restraints you can use ties, belts, scarves. For blindfolds – ties, scarves. It’s easy to go wild and spend a fortune on beautiful toys and restraints and then rarely use them.  I recommend starting with pervertables and then making the purchase of any tools or toys something that you do with lots of thought.  Pick out one or two special pieces.   Clothing Fetish clothing varies depending upon your interests and roles.  Leather can be used for a variety of things.  Some people love the feel, touch and smell of leather.  There is also the leather lifestyle.  People who identify as part of the leather lifestyle are engaged in power exchange relationships (often Master/slave or Mistress/slave) and follow certain codes.  Most codes include honor, honesty, respect) and most observe a variety of rituals.  Leather for these people is not only sexy and hot but is earned and a means of recognising service.    Some people like the feel of rubber or latex.   For latex clothing: http://www.houseofharlot.com https://www.pandoradeluxe.com https://www.atsukokudo.com/Home/ For leather: http://www.fetishwear.com/Welcome.htm http://www.leatheraddicts.com https://www.mr-s-leather.com Good informational sites Jack Rinella’s Leather Views – leatherviews.com  Jack Rinella is a free lance author and leather man.  He has written a number of well respected books on various aspects of leather and BDSM.

Pace yourself.  Don’t try to do everything at once.  Take your time and savour the experience.  Give yourself the space to process your experience afterwards and make sure you have support for when you need it. Remember your social skills.  Use your best social skills – be polite, friendly, listen lots.  Sometimes people get so excited they forget! Understand consent and apply it properly.    Don’t touch anyone without getting consent first.  This includes spontaneous hugs, putting your hand on someone’s shoulder.   Understand that people in this world can have different protocols.  Some are very strict.  Don’t assume that everyone will engage with you.  Some people may not be free to do so.  Don’t speak to someone else’s partner without checking first.  If you can’t check and you don’t get a response, don’t assume the person is being rude.  They may not be allowed to talk with anyone.  Think of it like meeting a monk or nun who is under a vow of silence. Take the time to learn how to do things properly.  Many activities that you will engage in if you are exploring BDSM and power exchange will involve an increased level of risk.  If you don’t learn how to do things properly, you have a high risk of injuring yourself or someone else.    There are two acronyms regularly used by people who engage in BDSM to describe risk.  The first is Safe, Sane and Consensual.  People who work to this protocol do things in the safest way possible, they don’t take short-cuts and highlight consent.  The second is Risk Aware Consensual Kink.  These folks highlight the fact that all activities have risk and that you must be aware of the risk level of things you are choosing to engage in.  They also highlight consent. Finally, maximise enjoyment.  Do everything you can to raise the probability that you will have a brilliant time.

Most notibly from the blogger in the number one spot Dangerious Lilly. From that she wrote a really interesting article on the value of ranking lists and are they something she wants to support. From there a number of other bloggers have also written their thoughts including Girl on the Net and Emmeline Peaches. The most amazing part of the discussion is Dangerious Lilly has given her prize money to the Woodhull Conference to enable a couple of bloggers who can't afford to go to make it too the next one. But on top of that she raises a number of valid points about this sort of competition and does it hurt of hinder the community at large. It is a tough question with points on both sides. This was especially interesting to us because we are proud to sponsor the Top 100 Sex bloggers list being compiled by Molly from Molly's Daily Kiss. We love her approach because it isn't a popularity contest, it is only judged on the quality of the content. Is it about ranking the community. No it is about recognising who is working hard and who to pay attention too. To see someone who really only cared about her craft and the people around her checkout Katherine Hepburn's ONLY Academy Awards appearance (she was nominated 11 times, and won 4 times). She wasn't even there to accept an award for herself but to honor her friend. Then see her beat Anne Bancroft, Faye Dunnaway, and Audrey Hepburn all in one go and not even turn up to collect it. Awesome. Dating apps Futurama Reference: Don't date robots This week we are talking about Jilly Boyd's post on Are dating apps the only way?Do dating apps take away the romance of actually meeting someone? What is the perception of the dating apps, is it to find true love or is it to find someone to shag? Is it really so different from going to a night club to meet someone? Easy to weed out the idiots The idiots are out there, the men and women who don't want to know you they just want sex and nothing else. They are out there in real life so it is no wonder they are on the dating apps as well. The beauty is where in real life they can be hard to spot on apps they usually announce what they want pretty early and you have no worry about just saying no. Catfishing One of the problems with a dating app (or any online dating) is you open yourself up to being tricked by the person you are talking too. That is much harder to do when you meet someone face to face. The anonymity of online interactions makes it much easier to conceal you true identity if you wanted to. It is something to be aware of. The problem of choice One of the problems online dating and dating apps has introduced is the problem of choice. Where previously you only had a limited pool of people you could meet now there is an endless stream of potential partners. So where previously you might have put up with small flaws in someone now you can ditch them because the next person will be perfect. What do you think? Do you use dating apps? Do they work for you? What do you like about them? We would love to know.

Or, as we discuss in this episode, the way sex positive folks often exclude people by their actions and behaviors in a way that makes spaces feel unsafe. Sex positivity has been an incredible response to our sex negative culture, but it's also just that - a response to the existing paradigm. Not everyone wants to have all the orgies or flirt all of the time, and that gets overlooked a lot. So in this episode, JoEllen and I have a really frank discussion about some of the ways sex positive communities are failing us, and then we field two listener questions about using inclusive language and not being a creep at sex toy stores when you have questions about sex. Don't forget: I just revamped my one-on-one coaching packages and spots are filling up.
