🎙 Episode 47 🎙 Leia talks more with Ashley Robertson, provider of shame free sex education to children, teens and families. We talk about being a kinky parent and the struggles that come with it.

Ashley Robertson identifies as a feminine, ethically non-monogamous, doll. With over a decade of experience in the BDSM scene, she isn’t shy of perverse topics. She is a liberated, educator who wishes to share with others the freedom of sexuality without shame. With three teaching degrees, she’s fed up with the idea that learning comes from a constrictive set of standards. Instead, she assumes innate curiosity in all people and crafts workshops and activities that invite introspection. She’s at her happiest when demonstrating consent with youngsters, guiding youth into comfort surrounding condoms, and answering questions about sexuality honestly. She facilitates adaptations of the Our Whole Lives curriculum adapting the workshops to fit diverse audiences. This non-coercive, comprehensive approach to sex ed is what we all wished we had in high school.

Leia talks with Sir Mark about his journey into kink, experience being on both sides of the slash and powerful energy exchange.

From Sir Mark: I am a creative skilled top. I enjoy thinking outside the box and creating experiences that stay with someone throughout their life.

I enjoy cigar service, the beach life. Every year we go to Costa Rica just to hang out and connect as a family. I am interested in someone who is interested in me and gets me. I am a people person and am very social and enjoy company hanging out on the patio, smoking and drinking adult beverages.

I find it interesting the paths in life we choose. The tags society wants us to be...straight, bi, gay, master, slave, Daddy, little, the tags society labels me now are Poly, Master, Daddy, Partner, and Leatherman. I am a full patch member of the Leather Heart Clan. It is my leather family by choice. So, I’m back on the other side of the slash. I would have to say, I believe the leatherman have it right being a submissive has made me a better Master. I enjoy my family and friends sometimes just sitting on the patio shooting the shit. This journey is my journey. I am enjoying the trip.
