In this episode of Kink Journeys, I sit down with community builder and LSPlayground founder, Josh Fink. We dive deep into how a backyard BBQ during lockdown sparked one of Colorado’s most inclusive and thriving lifestyle communities. Josh Fink shares their path from early explorations in kink and polyamory to organizing hotel takeovers that bridge the gap between swinger, poly, and kink communities. We talk grief, chosen family, radical inclusion, and why curiosity—and coffee—matter as much as play. Honest stories. Fresh perspectives. Real kink journeys.

Can an online quiz really tell you who you are in BDSM? How long does it take three neurodivergent kinksters to take a test together (and just how many Barbarella references can we fit into our commentary)?  Charlie and I decide to take the (in?)famous BDSM Test and compare it with another sexuality self test MojoUpgrade. While working our way into the first test we got a call from one of our favorite humans, Sir Aiden Charming, who joined us in the test adventure and commentary. We laugh, we cringe, we learn about ourselves and each other. This is a truncated version of our online shenanigans, while Patreon listeners have the opportunity to do the tests with us in a  2-hour long play by play, query by query recording. So buckle up for this blast from the past (we actually recorded this in the summer 2024 but Kat got overwhelmed by the editing process #spoonielife #betterlatethannever).

Have you done these or other sexuality/kink tests? What did you like or dislike? Let us know if there's one you think we should take on the pod!

In my last episode we did a deep-dive for International Female Orgasm Day, including busting through some of the many misconceptions around female sexuality. So this week, I'm bringing on my friend and colleague, Sex Coach Same, to unpack some of the inaccurate and harmful messaging around male sexuality. Whether it's misinformation from society, media or pressure we put on ourselves, we can break the cycles and Sam was happy to share to tools to do this vital self-work.
