Setting boundaries might seem straightforward, but it’s often challenging to recognise and communicate them, especially in the context of kink. This week's episode dives into the complexities of identifying and asserting your boundaries, with a particular focus on the struggles faced by those with anxiety who may have become adept at ignoring their body’s warning signals.

#54: I had a Bad Experience - This is What Happened

This week’s podcast was the hardest I’ve ever recorded. It’s easy to share the positive aspects of kink—the great experiences and the joys of exploration. What’s hard is sharing the negative experiences. It would have been much easier to keep this private, but my podcast is about sharing my kink journey openly and honestly. I can't do that if I’m only highlighting the good parts. In this episode, I discuss a recent experience where my vetting process failed, and I ended up trusting someone who c...

I am so excited to dive into this topic today! Most of us learn about blowjobs from porn, which usually shows some very talented actresses and actors taking a lot, very deeply!

#43: Live Sex Shows, Pole Dancing and Help for Veterans - with Will Denison

Today I am starting a new series called Every Day Kinksters. The idea is to interview regular, everyday people, either from Fetlife or wherever, and ask them about their journey - because we all have a story to tell! Today’s episode came about because I was talking to one of my classmates, Will Denison, and he casually mentioned he used to do live sex shows… so of course I stopped him right there, and asked if he would tell his story on my podcast. Thankfully, he agreed! Will is someone who’s li...

This question brings up a lot of feelings for the best of us. Maybe the thought of your partner fantasising about someone else feels really icky for you?

#39: Life in the Fast Lane - Talking About Premature Ejaculation

There are many things in life we’d like to happen quickly.

#38: Why I Told my Mum I was Kinky…

There are lots of reasons we keep our kinky lives a secret. For some of us, secrecy is part of the fun! For others, it might be about privacy. But for lots of us, we keep this stuff secret because we are afraid of what others might think, if they knew the truth about us. This creates a source of shame, and leaves us feeling like we have to hide a part of ourselves in order to feel accepted. I recently had an important conversation with my mum, where I told her about my kinky lifestyle. It wasn’t...

#37: Outsourcing Sex: Advice for Opening a Relationship

Not everyone is super well matched in the bedroom. You might be an amazing couple, but when it comes to sex you’re just not really compatible.

While there are lots of things couples can do to improve their sexual compatibility, outsourcing sex is also a fantastic option! In today's episode, I will go through 5 amazing pieces of advice for ...

#36: Are Open Relationships Committed?

Most of us have grown up in a culture where monogamy is the norm. If you enter a relationship it is pretty much expected that you will be monogamous. But times are changing, and alternative relationship styles like polyamory and open relationships are becoming more popular, and more and more people are becoming more curious about them. I wanted to do an episode specifically about open relationships or ENM (ethically non-monogamous) relationships where I could address some common questions and mi...

#31: Kinks vs Values: Exploring your shadow self

Most kinksters (myself included) struggle with shame. One of the reasons for experiencing shame is because what turns us on is often in opposition to our personal values. For example, you might identify as a feminist, and the idea of a dominant / submissive relationship might feel wrong to you - yet for some reason these dynamics turn you on. Or maybe you feel strongly about treating all people with respect, but you’re secretly turned on by the idea of degradation play. You might be asking yours...

#30: The 3 Dimensions of Sex

It’s all well and good if you are into romance and passion - you know, the kind of sex you see in the movies - but what if you're not? What if you don’t fit the mould of socially sanctioned sex? Well many kinksters don’t, and that can lead to feelings of shame, guilt and being abnormal. Although only one very narrow type of sex is usually ever represented in film and TV, the Three Dimensions of Sex teaches us that there are in fact 3 distinct types of sex. In this episode, I take you through eac...

Collars carry a lot of meaning within the BDSM community, and that meaning can be very different depending on the person. I asked the community on Fetlife to tell me what collars mean to them - and I got some wonderful responses which I share in today's discussion. From a simple fashion accessory, to a way to shift into a submissive headspace, to a symbol of the D/s dynamic - collars can mean a lot of different things! There really is a lot more to collars and ownership than what appears on the ...
