Good Pain with Tony Manna & Chiara Motley

We're threatening to go legit this week! It was such a pleasure chatting with Dr. Emma Sheppard, a critical disability studies sociologist, with research interests encompassing chronic pain, time, emotion, gender, and sexualities. Join us as we learn about the intersections of disability, productivity, emotion, and time, as experienced by painful, fatigued and gendered bodies.

On this week's episode we're thrilled to chat with pro domme, no frills sex educator, writer, and wrestler (yes, wrestler) Lola Jean! She also happens to be a world record holder for a very particular skill that she has. This is an episode for all you choke whores out there. Enjoy!

On this week's episode, we welcome Olivia Troy! Troy, as she's known, is a former domme who's now a Black Intimacy Coordinator and founder of Reps On Set, a group of production advisors, coordinators, and advocates for underrepresented identities in television and film. You've seen her work on Showtime's BILLIONS as well as Season 2 of BONDING on Netflix. Join us as we take a deep dive into the world of creating safe spaces for intimate storytelling on screen, stage, and beyond.

On our second episode, we go from domme to sub with our dear friend Julia. Julia's story is a fascinating one, as she's a longtime sufferer of chronic pain who uses BDSM as a way to not only deal with her pain but also to feel more present and in control of her own body. It's made her a better lover, a better partner, and even a better parent. Hearing her describe the "a-ha" moment of her first domme session is well worth the price of admission! To say we learned a lot with Julia is an understatement. Tune in!

On our premiere episode we're beyond thrilled to do a little "Domme 101" with the beautiful, brazen, and delightfully wicked Lady Vi. Her sinister sexuality, instinctual sadism, and natural born female dominance are sure to pique your interest. And did we mention she's the head of the Church of Satanatrix?  Tune in for a whirlwind introduction to the world of Good Pain!

We know the past couple of years haven't been so great, but remember not all pain is bad. Sometimes, it's GOOD. This is a podcast about kinky sex, confronting your fears, and the power of letting go. Join us in the dungeon for GOOD PAIN wherever you get your podcasts!

Coming soon!
