Bliss Bringers - Sex, Swinging & Kink Podcast

Exploring polyamory, BDSM and kink in the swinging lifestyle.

We catch up with Mr. and Misses Puppy (see previous episodes for background).  The first interview is right after a hotel playdate with Mr, Misses Puppy, and L  a.k.a. "Mr. Puppy's new toy".

In second part,  debrief with "Nightowl", the poor massage therapist (and general fun kinky guy) that SinD corrupted.

We go over the difference between the different lifestyles: swinging versus polyamory, BDSM communication styles versus those used in the swinging lifestyle.   Jon explains and demos some of his secret techniques on air on Misses Puppy.

Yes, there was wine consumed during the taping. 🙂

We had an interesting discussion with Lee Harrington, author of an eclectic set of books.  His latest is "Traversing Gender", which provides a "newbies guide to other genders", with many references throughout the world and history.  It also reviews the differences between all the various terms like "transgender", "transsexual", "trans", "intersex" and a multitude of others.

As a transgender person, the realities of "play" in both the swinging or BDSM lifestyles is completely different and very challenging.   Lee explains the differences in treatment of transgender folk throughout the years, and his own transition.

Challenges based on gender, race, class, age and disability

From the book blurb:

In the current age of gender identity and transgender awareness, many questions are coming to light for everyone. Whether brought about by media and cultural attention or personal journeys, individuals who have never heard of transgender, transsexual, or gender variant people can feel lost or confused. Information can be hard to find, and is often fragmented or biased. Meanwhile, trans people are getting a chance to dialogue with each other and finally be heard by the world at large.

In Traversing Gender: Understanding Transgender Realities, author Lee Harrington helps make the intimate discussions of gender available for everyone to understand.   Bringing these personal matters into the light of day, this reader-friendly resource is written for students, professionals, friends, and family members, as well as members of the transgender community itself. It is here for you and those in your life, helping create an opportunity for overcoming the challenges trans people face through awareness and action, making the world a better place one life at a time.

One may think that in this day and age,  the problems of the LGBTQ community are a thing of the past, but when looking outside of our bubble (especially at the recent events in the news), we see that we still have a long way to go.

Regardless of what position we pick on the spectrum, we owe it to the community to be informed.

The entire team jumps on the big bed in the Captain's catamaran in the Bahamas.  We catch up on what everybody has been doing.

* We just completed the "Beachbody cruise" with about 6000 well-trained bodies stuck on a boat.

* Captain is chartering the boat for "AirBB" and kinky travel.  (Drop him a line if interested: [email protected]).

* The girls agree: the celebrator is the best vibrator you can own (you even hear it in action)

If you like a cruise with sexy swingers, we recommend "Couple Cruises".

 

We take it down a notch and review the year 2015 and make our plans for 2016, which includes the BeachBody cruise, Naugthy in Nawlins and other fun swinger activities.

The team reports in from "SantaCon" San Francisco, where our gang tried to convert some vanillas during the wild "city takeover".  First we go shopping in at the BDSM flea-market at the Citadel for new toys, then we take over "Divas", which is a cross-dressers bar, and create havoc and spanking demonstrations.  It is amazing how quickly you can get people on state to get their butts spanked and flogged once you give them a few drinks and an excuse.

After all that the entire group crashes at the hotel, and we let Mr. Bill run wild again with the recorder.   He gets (those who haven't crashed yet) to review their best stories.

We also answer a couple of listener e-mails:

* A listener in Tasmania whats to find places to get their kink on locally.

* Listing of Fetlife activity in Tasmania

* Recommend books:  BDSM 101 (a good refresher on basic kink), Two Knotty boys (great Shibari bondage techniques)

* A gay/bi male asks about swinger etiquette and how to prevent others from freaking out when there are body parts all over the bed. We give some practical tips and tie it back to communicating with the other players before swinging times happen. If  you are going to try something like a double penetration, some of the guys parts are going to touch sooner or later.  It's physics!

* He also wonders about bringing family members into a swinging party, which is something we have seen happen on rarely: Once a sister-sister combo (For the record: Jon only played with 1 of them) and once somebody bringing their aunt.

If you have any questions or comments, send them in and we will answer them on-air!

Couples Cruises : Swinger holidays like you've never experienced.

We got an incredible deal for you today, just in time for the holidays!  This episode is a double feature:

We visited "Bawdy Storytelling" and spoke with the ever unstoppable "Dixie De La Tour" about her concept of erotic storytelling as an art form, changing the community and ... fisting on a first date.

As is a yearly ritual, we also hit "Folsom Street Faire", after which we interview "Marcello", who works as a performer on stage an in various videos for Kink.com and others.  He talks about the porn industry, being a professional slave and performing in front of an audience.

All the images from both event are available in our Kasidie group, since that has proven the best way to keep the kids out.

Our gang hits "Fetish and Fantasy" again in Las Vegas.

There is a lot of  spanking and flogging going on stage, as usual.

This year, we have some extra complications:

* A gang of "hashers" takes over the hotel and causes havoc while our gang is trying to recover from their own naughty but exhausting activities

* Mr. Bill brought along a vanilla friend, who has no idea what is going on.  She gets dunked in our pool of debauchery, while we hope she doesn't drown in the craziness.

Spoiler: She does fine!

We even interview her before and after her experience, which leads to interesting insight into how outsiders view the world of swinging and BDSM, and how the view changes after exposure.

For your listening pleasure, we have a bunch of different subjects.

Jon and SinD head to Los Angeles again to hang out with Mister Bill.   While Jon gets busy with one of his favorite play partners, the rest of the gang  talks about the history of BDSM in L.A. This goes all the way back to the early days of "Society of Janus", "Presidium" and  Treshold, when it was just a couple of kinky people playing around in a rented X-rated movie studio.

We lured the makers of "SportSheets" (we interviewed and tested the product previously) to Dragons gate.

We are taking the violet wand to Burning Man to zap people in the dessert!

There are plenty of other random discussions, gummy bears and reviews of Jon's performance as a swinger.

Bill interviews Ernest Greene (and his wife, Nina Hartley) about his newest book, "Master of O" and they trade anecdotes from way back in time (around when they invented rope).

Professor T and Jon review the news:

* Deliciously Disabled at the Couple's Oasis

* Ashley Madison hack

* Addyi Pill, aka "the female Viagra" (not really)

Don't forget: Send us your questions!

 

 

Villain Jon heads to one of the largest swingers events in the country, to spread the gospel of bondage and kink.  We debrief with Brian and Tangerine from Tangerines Dream about the event the parties, the "poker runs", dances and events.

Jon talks about the workshops, demonstrations of flogging, electric play  in the dungeon and the problems of teaching an entire room of crazy swingers to tie each-other up.

His shenanigans were also documented by "We Gotta Thing" and "Swinger Diaries".
