Then we answer your questions:

1. My girlfriend wants to have open relationship, I’m not sure I’m OK with that, but I honestly don’t know how to feel. Where can I go to get more information?
2. So I am in love with this girl, but she seems uninterested in me when this other person is around. When He isn’t around, she is all over me. Am I in trouble?

Also, for the next 45 days (Sept 24th – Nov 7th), Rope_Squirrel will be in Canada. Fear not though, we are making him bring his recording equipment so the show will go on.

 

With 16 Republicans already announced as vying for the 2016 Presidential nomination, a group has some up with a list of positions that all Republicans are expected to accept as part of their official platform.

The Conservative Values Coalition has, for the first time, specified BDSM, Kink, and Fetishism on their list of activities that are “Practiced Privately and Denied Publicly.”

The document details kinks and fetishes that should be “publicly ridiculed” and encouraged the use of words like “freaks, weirdos, perverts, and abominations” to describe practitioners, yet permitted candidates to engage in kinky activity “as long as they don’t get caught.”

Another provision specified in the document was “nothing in the butt,” as that crosses the line from being “merely kinky” into “full blown gayness.”

Washington insiders speculate that such restrictions may be aimed at Ted Cruz who, for years, has been known in Washington kink circles for his love of enema play.

“It is going to be hard for Cruz to keep away from the butt,” one prominent Lobbyist said, “but if you want to be President, you have to prove you are willing to be a hypocrite and this is a good opportunity for Ted to step up.”

Season 2 Episode 7

This week I have a special surprise for you. Not just one, but two guests.   I have Dr Chauntelle Tibbals, author of a new book: Exposure: A Sociologist Explores Sex, Society, and Adult Entertainment. She and I answer your questions. Her and I also discuss her book and some of the insights behind it. I rather enjoyed this! Viewer Questions:

• (Due to an issue with the recording, question 1 had to be removed. Having changed microphones, I couldn’t cover this up. I know it sounds awful)
• Music is always an issue for me. Be that in the bedroom or at the club, it is tough for me to find the right kind of music. Sometimes the local club plays something that I enjoy to play to, other times, it’s just awful. I bring my own music sometimes, but I’d like to not drown out the world simply to enjoy myself. Should I talk to the club about it? Where can I find good universally accepted dungeon music? –Castrado in Florida
• How do I plan a play scene? My Girlfriend always wants all kinds of theatrics when we play. Role playing and such. However, I’m not very good at it. I ruin the scenes consistently and it drags us both out of it? How can I become more confident in roleplaying? Are there any kind of roleplaying in the bedroom classes I can take? – BadActor in California

Next, a man who makes a product that honestly scares me, and I didn’t think much could scare me anymore in the BDSM scene. The Professor from Instant hell comes on to talk about his product. If you’d like a free sample of it, he is willing to send one. For listeners of this podcast just send an email to [email protected] with where you’d like it shipped. Be sure to mention Kink in the Chain. I’m curious to try it myself. FYI, this was not a paid endorsement or anything. I genuinely am curious about the product. I’ll be interviewing a few more product makers in the episodes to come.   This week in news, I have a favor to ask of you dear listener. Would you be willing to sign a change.org petition?

I discuss this in “What’s kinky this week”. In short though, he was deceived and had sex with an underage girl and now he’s a sex offender and serving jail time. I really hope we can all come together and salvage his life. Kids make mistakes, but as of now this 19 year old’s life is over.

BDSM club. While this isn’t a new development per say (several colleges already have these) it is refreshing to see BDSM and kink becoming more mainstream. The University of Southern California is but the latest addition to a collection of higher learning organizations that have official BDSM clubs. In this case it is a munch. Admittedly, anyone can have a munch, but the difference here is that it is an official school club and not just a social get together. I like the way we are heading in this area. I wish there had been BDSM club when I was in College. I instead went to the local city munch for my first experience. Still, I am very happy about this. I hope more schools follow suit.

BDSM is not anything people should be ashamed of. Perhaps it shouldn’t be mentioned in polite conversation with non-kinksters, just as you would do with your own sex life, but it should be something that, with like-minded individuals, that you all talk about. Only by providing education to budding kinksters can we prevent accidents and therefore BDSM being slammed on the news.

Season 2 Episode 6

 

You have no idea how happy this made me. I know that we put out a post about this on the weekend of, but this is the first show I’ve had to talk about it. These are exciting times we are living in and I am so happy that everyone now has the right to marry and for that to be recognized in any state of the United States. This week we talk about this development.

Gay Marriage Legal across the US. It has been a long time coming. I know we are not the first to report on this (we here at the podcast were all at a convention this weekend), however it makes us happy that this is finally settled. Friday morning when we saw the CNN notification on our phones made us so happy. It was an amazing day. The convention itself was adult oriented so throughout the weekend everyone was talking about it as well.

This week we answer three questions:

1. How to do I play in public?
2. Is there such a thing as monogamy in BDSM?
3. How do I know if someone shares my kinks?

As a side note, I have a special announcement that I make at the end of the episode. If you want to be bad, and who doesn’t you can skip right to it and hear it. But needless to say I am very excited about it. Look for this special thing in a future podcast.

 

Be sure to send in the questions you’d like answered. [email protected] or via phone at 804-404-KINK. We love to hear feedback as well so let us know what you think. I am going to be having a guest soon. This should prove…. interesting 🙂
