**Shame doesn't just make you feel bad, it fundamentally shapes how you experience your own body and desires.** Returning guest Dr. Alison Ash breaks down exactly why shame is so destructive to sexual wellness. Unlike guilt (which says you did something wrong), shame tells you that *you yourself* are wrong, creating a deep fear of rejection that literally dysregulates your nervous system. This isn't something we're born with. It develops through early experiences where we internalize negative reactions, eventually becoming that harsh inner critic voice. The contradictory messages are especially confusing: women should look desirable but not actually desire, while men should always be sexually available yet their desire is somehow dangerous. These cultural and religious influences create confusion that conscious rejection alone can't fix. Here's where it gets interesting: empathy is shame's antidote. When someone truly accepts you without judgment, healing becomes possible. (This is why finding sex-positive communities matters so much.) Dr. Aly explains how even BDSM can be healing for trauma survivors through consensual power exchange—reclaiming control over experiences where they previously had none. What if the fantasies or interests that make you feel broken are actually completely normal? Ready to understand the difference between your own feelings and society's expectations? This conversation offers practical strategies for recognizing shame's sources and reclaiming your agency.

Welcome to the Please Me! Podcast Kink Series, where host Eve leads bold, trauma-informed conversations about sexuality, kink, empowerment, and embodied pleasure. As the number-one ranked sexuality podcast in the USA and worldwide, Please Me! brings listeners into real, raw, and educational discussions designed to close the orgasm gap and dismantle shame. In this episode, Eve sits down with Maeve McBride — a BDSM educator, intuitive top, sexological herbalist, and Executive Director of KinkFest 2025/2026 — to explore the foundations of Intuitive Topping, BDSM roles, and how to develop real-time awareness in kink. Drawing from insights at DomCon and Maeve's influential “Intuitive Topping” class, this episode dives into: The difference between Dom, Sub, Top, Bottom, Switch, and Vers How power exchange works through negotiation, communication, and consent Why intuitive topping is not psychic ability, but pattern recognition and data collection How to read breath, movement, vocalizations, body language, and individualized responses How neurodivergence influences sensation expression and communication Understanding hurt vs. harm and why negotiated pain can be safe What defines a scene — negotiation, safewords, boundaries, aftercare, and follow-up Why kink isn't always sexual, and how sensation play can offer catharsis, emotional release, and embodiment How Eve and Maeve negotiated a real pre-scene demonstration together Why aftercare is essential for both tops and bottoms This conversation brings clarity, depth, and compassion to kink education — offering both beginners and seasoned players a richer understanding of how intuition, safety, and connection shape BDSM.

Candice also talks about hearing a noise and turning around to a male part next to her face... oh man, it was quite a night... come take a listen and visit www.theimpulsiveduo.com for more Lifestyle Resources.
On today's show, I discuss the difference between hurt and harm in power exchange. We look at how emotional coercion hides behind consent, how both Doms and subs can cross lines without realizing it, and what recovery looks like after control or manipulation. It's about learning to hold power with care, not fear, because while we can consent to hurt, we cannot consent to harm.Continue the discussion on Fetlife: @Enhanced-MindDon't forget to hit the follow button and rate my show 5 stars so others may find it.

This episode tackles everything from making consent conversations sexy to navigating ethical porn, kink exploration, and the realities of dating after divorce. Sarah breaks down how to make consent attractive rather than awkward, emphasizing that consent is temporary and can be withdrawn at any time. We explore the "hell yes" versus "hell no" standard for enthusiastic consent and practical ways to slow down sexual encounters for better awareness and communication. The conversation addresses how to teach consent early through body autonomy and why being honest about your boundaries actually makes you more attractive to compatible partners. We dive into listener questions from Matt, who's navigating dating after an abusive marriage with no prior dating experience, and Christi, whose 20-year marriage is strained by concerns about her husband's porn use. Sarah offers guidance on video dating as the pandemic norm, using apps like Hashtag Open for specific interests, and the importance of yes/no/maybe lists for discovering preferences without shame.

In this raw, revealing, and richly layered conversation, Andrew welcomes writer, speaker, and feminine guide Ginger Kern to the Dom Sub Devotion podcast. What unfolds is not just a dialogue—but a masterclass in embodied polarity, truth, desire, and what it really takes to create sacred union. Together, they dive into: • The difference between performative desire and embodied eros • Why truth—not integrity—is the highest value in a power exchange relationship • How men and women both must submit to something greater to be truly free • The journey of a woman learning to trust her voice, her body, and her desires • What it feels like to be in the presence of a man who is aligned with truth • The trap of the “Hungry Mind” and why embodiment—not more knowledge—is the portal to change • Conditional vs. unconditional love in the context of devotion, polarity, and human relationship • The erotic, energetic, and existential responsibility of being fully in your human experience Ginger brings nuance, reverence, and fierce clarity to what it means to be a vessel for life, love, and truth. Andrew challenges listeners—especially men—to claim their full power not through force, but through unwavering alignment. This episode is for you if: → You're tired of trying to “do” submission or Dominance and want to live it → You've felt the call to union—but haven't known how to embody it → You crave truth, depth, and integrity in love, sex, and self-leadership → You're ready to go beyond the surface and hear what devotion actually demands ⸻ Ginger Kern is a writer, mentor, and guide for women on the path of the devotional feminine. She is the root of Mythic Feminine, an ecosystem supporting women in soul nourishment & Union with men. Her work supports women in restoring sovereignty, soulfulness, and full-range embodiment of Truth in service of Life.

Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!Let's talk about spanking—again. But this time, I'm coming at it from a totally new angle that honestly blew my mind a little.In this episode, I'm digging into the idea of spanking as therapy (yes, you read that right). A recent conversation with my camp bestie got me thinking, and then I stumbled across a 2020 article that laid it all out—turns out, spanking can do a hell of a lot more than just sting. It can actually help you reconnect, release stress, and even heal.

Vanilla Swingers - A Swinger Podcast for Newbies, by Newbies in the Lifestyle
We're diving deep into our local swinger scene with a full review of Twist SF, San Francisco's only swinger club. From newbie yoga to couples only nights, it's the spot for newbies! Plus we take a super quick sneak peek into Power Exchange, San Francisco's sleaziest, anything-goes sex club (definitely not for the faint of heart!), where oddly enough, we had one of our best experiences—go figure! Why do we always find the hottest play partners at the sketchiest clubs?! Plus, we're serving up tons of newbie advice for your first time at a club, because Twist is one of the most beginner-friendly spots out there. Kat also spills the tea on the kind of guys she's really looking for—cowboy? Farmer? Biker? And how to toe the fine line between being pushy vs. being a wussy... Plus, we unpack the shocking truth about her surprisingly low body count as a swinger (how is that even possible?!). Buckle up for all the juicy confessions—raw, unfiltered, and live on the road! Dive in and enjoy every spoonful of our super candid newbie journey as we go from vanilla…to 69 flavors! Always hilarious, unhinged, bite-size and commercial-free! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Where else to find Kat & Leo (besides clubs and cruises!): Website: https://VanillaSwingers.com *BRAND NEW* blog page ---> check out fun links & more!

#070 Total power exchange sounds intense, right? But it's not just about control; it's about trust, intention, and freedom.
We know not everyone has time to go back and listen to all the podcasts over the last 15+ years. So, we reached deep into the archives and pulled this one out by its ears. We hope you enjoy it! *************************** Sep 14, 2011 On this weeks episode, Dan & dawn return from COPE and share the keynote speech by Raven Kaldera! They answer the question of the day (and is there an argument brewing?) about how does it reflect on the Dom/sub when they attend a munch alone? And a bonus QOTD - how to approach people who are wearing collars. Plus - Suzy showed up. Thank you to the generous donations of podcast listeners, COPE attendees, and a generous matching contribution from Beyond Leather, we raised $500 for SARNCO! Big thanks to Barak & Sheba for helping/letting/pushing this to happen And dawn goes double teamed, EA goes live, we get Mo, and a (other than George) guest joins us. Bandwidth is provided by Anconeus and Badbunny! Yay for random donations :)
