  • E95:How to be you part 7

    Want to suggest a topic or simply say Hello ? Send a message here !

    What if everything you've been taught about being "normal" is actually rooted in systems of oppression? Welcome to a thought-provoking journey through the hidden forces that shape our understanding of executive functioning and neurodivergence.

    Diving into Ellie Middleton's "How to Be You," we explore how capitalism has trained us to equate our worth with productivity and independence. When profit becomes more important than people, our natural variations in planning, focus, and organization are reframed as personal failings rather than simply different ways of processing the world. We unpack how government cuts to support services have made it even harder for neurodivergent people to access the accommodations they need.

  • E94: Collars and Creatures: Inside the World of Petplay

    Want to suggest a topic or simply say Hello ? Send a message here !

    What happens when humans shed language, drop to all fours, and find freedom in a collar? In this deep-dive Petplay episode of Behind the Paddle, host Porcelain Victoria explores the culture, psychology, and practicalities of pet/handler dynamics from ancient animal rites to modern pup hoods and kitten ears.

    You’ll hear:

    • What petplay is (and isn’t): clear consent lines, why it’s not zoophilia, and how sexuality ranges from non-sexual nurture to explicitly erotic power exchange.
    • A quick history: shapeshifting gods, shamanic rites, leather culture, and the internet boom that made pups, ponies, kittens, and fantasy creatures visible worldwide.
    • Petspace 101: the creature headspace, common triggers, and ways to enter/exit safely.
    • Rituals & training: grooming, feeding, bedtime, obedience games, and bratty play—plus discipline styles that build trust.
    • Handlers & ownership: roles (Handler, Trainer, Owner), traits of a good dominant, and what a healthy bond looks like.
    • Community & visibility: public play etiquette, pet zones at events, and finding your pack.
    • The deep emotions: shame and exposure, healing through animal role, nonverbal communication, red flags, and repair.
    • Commitment & endings: collaring ceremonies, aftercare for drop, and how to navigate breakups with care.

  • E92: The Nordic Model vs. Decriminalization

    Want to suggest a topic or simply say Hello ? Send a message here !

     Behindthepaddle podcast takes listeners inside one of the most polarizing debates in feminist and political history: the Nordic Model versus decriminalisation of sex work. With personal testimony, global case studies, and voices from sex-worker–led groups like SWARM, Scot-PEP, and Umbrella Lane, this episode dismantles myths, exposes the harms of Ash Regan’s proposed “End Demand” Bill in Scotland, and contrasts it with New Zealand’s evidence-based model of decriminalisation. From health and human rights to stigma, migration, class, and survival, Two Roads makes clear that this isn’t about abstract law it’s about dignity, safety, and the right to choose our futures.

    Want to suggest a topic or simply say Hello ? Send a message here !

    Welcome to Behindthepaddle. I’m Porcelain Victoria, and this episode… is a tender one.

    Today, we’re stepping into the bedroom but not just for fun. We’re pulling open the drawer of secrets. Hidden fetishes. Quiet urges. And those deeply human moments when a husband or partner finally tells the truth… to the person they love most.

    We’re talking about the difference between being honest and being unfaithful. Between sharing a kink and hiding it with someone else. Between keeping secrets… and finally being real.

  • E87:Crayons, Contracts, and Care: Inside the World of DDLG and Caregiver/Little Dynamics

    Want to suggest a topic or simply say Hello ? Send a message here !

    Behindthepaddle Podcast invites you inside one of the most tender, misunderstood, and intimate corners of the BDSM world: Caregiver/little dynamics.

    We explore the acronyms (DDLG, CGL, MDLB, Littles, Middles, Brats), the psychology of regression and attachment, the rituals of rules and punishments, and the playful, sometimes erotic, worlds of diapers, pacis, and discipline.

    We dive deep into:

    • What regression really is (and isn’t)
    • Why structure makes Littles feel safe
    • The brat’s defiance as a plea for love
    • Rituals of affirmation and daily caregiving practices
    • The risks of Littlespace, drop, and unsafe dynamics
    • How permission to need, regress, defy, and be loved is the heart of it all
