How do we connect? What makes a mutually satisfying relationship? What are other people into? This is not erotica—these are real human stories. Guests share details of their personal lives and/or work to add emotional context to the confusing experience of attempting to relate to other human beings. The goal? To learn from and more deeply understand one another through exchanges of personal wisdom and experience. The focus is always connection and intimacy in our modern world: relationships, dating, friendship, cultural “norms” and taboos. Conversations explore vulnerability, shame, desire, pleasure, celebration, creative bucket lists, fantasy play spaces, irresistible invitations and so much more. Listen and share to co-create the story-based, connection-first sex ed we never got­—but will all definitely benefit from.

kd (38 w Jewish slutty queer leatherdyke switch tattoo artist, partnered 12 years) always loved the smell of a leather glove, but her life was transformed when she was introduced to bootblacking in 2007 at Dark Odyssey Summer Camp. As International Ms Bootblack 2011 she is now entrenched in the LA leather community as a leader and organizer—she shares specifics about “how to give good chair”, from the process of bootblacking to the ways she tailors each experience to the person getting their leathers serviced.

She talks about what it means to be an uncle in the leather community, the best parts of being surrounded by horny homosexuals, how she learned bootblacking from her Daddy’s Daddy, why she prefers to use what she has on her person (hands, belt, boots) over implements in her impact play, the best parts of being a voyeur at play parties, and what it takes to be a safety-watcher. She loves punching, stomping, making out, flirting, topping, bottoming, and has always been fascinated by things that are swollen and engorged. kd shares how she fellates heels, licks soles, body-surfs in steel-toed boots, and thoroughly services friends and strangers on her knees—and while she can handle pretty much anything, she shares the one thing that still makes her queasy.
