The Bonding Project seeks to answer a common question: how do we bond? For centuries, the mainstream answer has been simple: We bond in sexually monogamous pairs. Yet we are in a time of incredible change and re-thinking: Relationships, community, race, political norms, civic life, even what it means to be human are all shifting from old norms to new possibilities. In recent years, unconventional relationships have become more mainstream. Long time monogamous partners are discussing “opening” their relationship. Some people are choosing to be “single” forever. Others are creating multi-partner family units. So many possible configurations can make navigating intimate relationships both exciting and confusing. The Bonding Project’s goal is to help people identify their bonding preferences and connect with partners with compatible bonding styles.

Hop on for a fun ride on the hypno train! We have all watched a hypnotist do their thing with a willing participant. I have watched group hypnotism at Frolicon and had some of the deepest belly laughs as a dozen people do odd things that seem out of character. This week we bring you Pretty Fantastic, a professional hypnotist that spends his day job helping people with smoking cessation, weight loss, and other vanilla human conditions. In his free time, our guest moves to the darker side and will consensually hypnotize a kinky subject. We have always heard that you won’t do something that you normally would not do in real life, under hypnotism. Find out how this sorts out in this week's episode.

This week we talk with swingers, Dahlia and Rich. How do you keep a swinger group in Covid times? We learned it’s about community.

We specialize in hosting parties that cater to the adventurous who enjoy erotic experiences and expanding their horizons. (You only live once!)

The two of them enjoy sharing stories, love, and experience with like-minded kinksters and joined KinkyCast to talk about Sex Magick, Chi, Squirting, and their experiences and adventures together.

This week’s festinating guest is an upcoming social media star! She is a prime example of not letting Covid get you down. Olive Apple lost her job in March, due to closings.

Most of us know who John Baku is, but for those who don’t, John is the brain behind FetLife.com. This is John’s fourth appearance on KinkyCast and we haven’t spoken in a while. As with everyone else, 2020 has brought challenges to running any business. Today John speaks about how he spread out his site creators and operators around the world, before the pandemic. We ask how John and his crew are communicating and keeping the site, not only running but thriving! FetLife is approaching 10 million users and is a force in the sexuality websites. Today Woody and John wander over what’s going on in kinkdom and how players are dealing with the inability to personally socialize.

In this show we had the opportunity to speak with Mike of Utmost Restraint. Mike’s imagination takes him to the woodshed to build lots of fun toys for adult play. Here are Mike’s own words on how he feels about BDSM…

Stepp's fantasies about BDSM started very early. When he was 6 years old he wanted to tie up the PE teacher. He certainly would have had no idea what to do with her once he had her tied up. So the years passed… Stepp has a passion for suffering, his partners have a passion for suffering, also. "It completes us - It makes our lives whole." He admires and respects all of his partners for having the courage and trusting Him to bring them the places we need to go to really feel complete. A trip to the dungeon is an adventure. It's the job of the Dom to control and guide the experience. Having an intense scene with someone who really suffers, it's like sharing something special. It's really that connection in those most intense moments. The real. The raw. The primal. Building a home dungeon offers the ability for concentrated intense play without interruptions. Converting a basement space for playspace is a great way to pass the time of Covid.
