Burlesque, Sex, + You + Azura Maneater

💥 WELCOME TO THE STAGE 💥
Today I welcome Azura Maneater to talk about all things Burlesque!❤️‍🔥
This sultry vixen is a force to be reckoned with, as she has been singing, dancing, and acting from a very early age.
Azura has performed on-screen and off for many years, taught all over the world, and now teaches Burlesque and Chair on Monday nights at Brass Vixen, which is where we met. 😍⁠
Today, Azura gives a glimpse behind the curtain at what it takes to be a Burlesque dancer and why this is something for everyone. 
Listen now to hear her do's and don'ts of Burlesque and the difference between stripping and Burlesque. 😘⁠

Take Accountability for Your Consent

#Consent
Taking ownership of our Consent isn't as straightforward as it seems within BDSM and Kink.
Often people think that when a boundary or limit has been crossed, it's automatically the other person's fault.
But this isn't always the case.
If you have consented to a particular action but haven't laid out the details clearly (such as timeframe, impact levels, areas that this action can be done to or not, etc.), you may feel that you have been violated or that a boundary has been crossed.
But, if WE are the ones that weren't clear with our instructions, we need to be able to take ownership of that.
If you can't accept the concept that you may have been at fault by not giving enough details on the Consent you gave, don't get into BDSM and Kink.
Again, people are not mind readers, and if you are not clear enough on the information and instructions you are giving, that information and instructions may be interpreted differently.
Listen now for more on how to take ownership of your Consent, different types of Consent, and how Dr. Betty Martin's "The Wheel of Consent" can help.

The Almost Lost Interview of the Toronto ”Hug” Man

Today I'm going back to the very first podcast interview I ever did. Which was with the Toronto "Hug Me" man and why he does what he does.
However, two things happened on the day of the recording.  
One. I ran into technical difficulties at the beginning and end of the podcast recording. 
Two. It would take me a few more months to actually get the podcast organized and aired.
In that time frame, this podcast episode got lost under the pile. But alas, all this time later, I have resurrected the almost lost archive interview of the Toronto "Hug Me" man and why he does what he does. 
Listen now, to jump to the good bits.

How Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Affects Sexual Frustration

Within Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, sex is nestled up there with food and water, and when it isn't satisfied, we will feel the effects.
People tend to think that sexual frustration primarily affects people with high sex drives, but the reality is that sexual frustration can affect anyone who's not getting the sex they want.
Listen now for more why how sexual frustration is the real deal, how sexual frustration can affect someone and ways Kinky Wellness can help.

Has Your Sex Life Even Started?

Have you ever considered that your sex life hasn't even started? Many people have sex for years without feeling its depth. I don't blame them.
Sex is often taught in mechanical ways, but it's the other less-talked-about elements of sex that make it so special. 
Today's episode also contains some Kinky updates for myself, so be sure to listen to the end!

Belly Buttons Are More Than Cute Scars + Satisfied Kat

Last month, Kat and I received a podcast request to do an episode dedicated to our belly buttons and asked a very serious question, "can you orgasm from your belly button?"
Unfortunately, when I replied, I received a bounce-back message saying that that e-mail didn't exist anymore – So, if you're still listening, this podcast episode is for you!
Listen now as Kat and I dive into all things Navel Play, its risks, play types, and play basics, as well as how to incorporate Navel Play.

Discipline + Other Dirty Words

The concept of discipline has been skewed over the years, and now unfortunately, discipline gets a bad name for itself.
Most people are not aware of its concept and don't understand the full potential having discipline can bring to oneself.
BDSM was the starting point for me to learn the benefits of discipline through a fun and creative outlet. It showed me that getting in trouble for doing bad things wasn't something to be afraid of.
Listen now as I discuss how discipline and other dirty words can help you grow and develop.

Virtual Friends, Digital Lovers, + Algorithmic Matchmakers: What Does this Mean for Human Intimacy?

Artificial Intimacy is changing the landscape of how human beings obtain intimacy.
According to evolutionary biologist, professor, and author, Rob Brooks, there are three types of artificial intimacy: virtual friends, digital lovers, and algorithmic matchmakers.
But what does that mean for human intimacy?
That is what I explore in today’s podcast. Listen now as I discuss Rob Brooks's book, Artificial Intimacy and “how it offers an innovative perspective on the possibilities of A.I. and Intimacy with humans in the present…and near future.”
