Elise and Ori talk about how to keep things stimulating through “ruts” in kink life, how to manage boredom and how to not take things personally. Mr. Crickets makes his first official appearance on the show, Ori gushes about getting smacked around, and eventually conversation devolves into chicken/penguin suits.

Elise and Ori get together to ramble about a ridiculous phenomenon that comes up in kink that they call "the vortex", humiliation glory holes, treehouse communes, Ori's craigslist escapades, Elise's brief stint as a traffic cone, and of course, Keanu Reaves. 

Elise and Ori Discuss aftercare. What's going on in the brain, how that can indicate what a partner might need, differences in needs, nervous system responses, and scary unexpected cymbal crashes! 

Elise and Ori kick off 2023 with a deep dive on sex toys!  Toys that buzz, toys that thrust, toys that suck, toys that belong on mythical creatures, toys that.... lay eggs inside you?

Elise and Ori sit down for the first part of a recurring segment where they reflect on experiences in ENM and Polyamory. Topics include communication skills, challenges around insecurity, areas for growth, origin stories, dating as a couple, and more erectile dysfunction emails!

Elise and Ori take a break from perusing floggers and workshopping fear kink ideas, long enough to interview Shveta Mittal, PhD. They talk about Kink in the context of therapy, mental health, social/professional stigma and much more!

Elise and Ori are back from Domcon! They recap their experiences and thoughts from the socials, play parties, classes, and shenanigans that ensued. Interview episodes from the convention are coming next! 

Elise and Ori delve into attunement, "serve and return", and "bids". They explore how these things relate to early human development, everyday relationship interactions, sexual interactions, and even creative spaces like music. There's more rambling about bratting, recent personal experiences, challenges around a 24/7 lifestyle, and the drama from the previous night. 

We're Back!  On this episode we have special guest V on the show to talk kink with us. We touch on communication, kink dungeons, erotic shoe shining, and delve into an enticing personal kink story that leaves Ori jealous (and craving sweets)
