#309 - Novablaq - Kinky Rasism

#309 - Novablaq - Kinky RacismFrom Explorations in Being Black and Kinky:I’m Black, male and I’m kinky.Look at that statement, 6 words. Read it again. The words are simple, yet there is a density to that statement that is seldom explored.I’ve spent much of my life disconnected from my Blackness. I’ve been learning, exploring, and coming to self- realizations in the past year and a half that I never knew that I needed. And I’m still on the journey.Some people reading this may have read a post I made nearly a year ago about a poorly named event in my local community. I took a lot of fire for that post, a conglomeration of opinions from friends and associates who were afraid to actually say how they felt about that event’s name. Interestingly, that was before my journey into my Blackness had really begun. I was doing my friends a favor at that time. Why not, I thought. It took me a while to realize something though, the BDSM community is very white. (For more of this writing and part 2, follow the link below.)About our guest:As a Dom I'm caring and strong, I will discipline and teach you what I need from you, and learn what you need from me. My every day personality sometimes doesn't reflect that. I will earn the respect and submission this way. I'm sadistic, I enjoy inflicting pain on those who need it. I take what I do seriously and have been told I'm a very intense person. Despite that, I'm kind hearted, a bit goofy too. I try to be a good partner that that cares for those I choose to have in my life. I love giving impact, and have been told that I'm very good at it from all that I have had the honor of having scenes with. Kink play is not mutually exclusive to sex for me. Nor are things like cuddling which I enjoy immensely.Links: Novablaq fet page: https://fetlife.com/users/7327503 Novablaq’s Writing: https://fetlife.com/users/7327503/posts/5590584Keywords: podcast, kinkycast, kink, Novablaq, Kinky Rasism, Explorations, Black, male,dom, strong, BDSM, community, opinion, white, event, blacknessPreviousNext

#315 - WyMoBuckaroo - Kinky CowboyOur good friend of the cast, Unicorn Husbandry put me in touch with this week’s guest, for that, I’m eternally grateful. I spoke with WyMoBuckaroo on the phone for, well a couple of hours, because I found him so interesting. I felt he was a cross between Will Rogers and Mark Twain. As our guest aged he was like a magnet for life’s philosophy. He is a prolific writer and just perusing his Fetlife archive will entertain for hours. In his own words, here is what Buckaroo thinks… WoodyIf brains were leather, some folks couldn’t saddle a June bug! Dumber ‘n fried popsicles!Just yer average, curmudgeonly, cowboy. Lover of ropes, spurs, quirts, piggin' strings, hogties, mind fuckery, and general kinky shit. I'm as kinky as a Dollar Store garden hose!I value character above all things. Walking the talk. Keeping my word. Being real. Being true. Being honest in word and deed. Being authentic. Always looking to overcome. Never giving up. Learning humility, transparency, vulnerability.What good is a 10-gallon hat on a 5-gallon head?I don't value folks for what I see, but for who they are, and for who I am together with them. What and who I find beautiful or sexy is a fluid thing, and most certainly not based on gender, identity, or any other thing.Top hands get there by doin' the hard work...from the ground up. Do you want to run the ranch? Learn to shovel the shit first! Lay aside that ego! To quote an old-timey preacher; "it takes more grace than I can tell to play the second fiddle well..."Want to be served? Learn service? Want to Dominate? Practice submitting. Want to lead? Be a good follower.I'm a Cowboy because, well, I am. Some things you just are, and once you are something, well....you are. I am old. I love fucking. I am a Dominant. I am a Buckaroo. I am a cowboy through and through. I’m an old fucking Cowboy Dominant.Link: https://fetlife.com/users/8176099Keywords: podcast, kinkycast, kink, cowboy, old, life, philosopher, real, true, honest, authentic, humility, transparency, vulnerability, service, genuine

#318 - Selina Minx - Edging for the Elder StatesmanThis week Woody hops on the rollercoaster named SelinaMinx! Take a half hour wild ride and see where this LA ProDomme can take us. Here is what she has to say…"I've been in the BDSM lifestyle for as long as it's been legal. I definitely feel like I was born kinky. After a long time only able to explore BDSM through literature I finally turned 18 and gained access to the leather scene in Los Angeles. I plunged headlong into the lifestyle in the mid 90s, and had a helluva ride before deciding to ‘go pro' in 2002. Since then I have amassed a few accomplishments: ‘The Wickedest Witch in the West’ - Penthouse Magazine Nov. 2014. Featured on HBO, Penthouse magazine, E! Entertainment television, New Witch Magazine, G4 awards and Reason Magazine. Sex educator for over 17 years, teaching at various colleges and conferences on the subjects of negotiation, human sexuality, evolutionary biology and tantra.”Selina has been a professional Dominatrix for 15 years and 22 years experience in “the BDSM lifestyle.”Witch by blood, and bitch by choice.Links: https://www.selinaminx.com/https://selinaminx.tumblr.com/https://www.minxerotica.com/https://patreon.com/selinaminxhttps://twitch.tv/mistressminxhttps://selinaminx.bdsmlr.com/https://selinaminxsmoking.bdsmlr.com/https://fetlife.com/users/82725?sp=1Keywords: podcast, kinkycast, kink, BDSM, wicked, witch, los, Angeles, lifestyle, pro, professional, penthouse, educator, magazine, hobo, awards, teaching, negotiation, sexuality, tantra, dominatrix

#321 - Being Social in a Time of Social DistancingHow’s your social life? Hmmm, me too. After we checked in with our social panel from around the world and got an idea of what they saw out their windows, we asked them about their social life. It seems that many of us have the same problems being shut-ins. If you are in perfect health you have a bit more freedom, if you and your playmate accept the risk. For anyone that is a bit health compromised, its lock ‘em up. How do we cope with boredom and binge-watching? Try to mix it up online, video chat with your squeeze, write a fascinating post on social media or write a love letter. So many possibilities, so much time. We gathered 10 of our friends from around the world to explore the similarities and differences in our lives. We learned just by listening to one another that we are not the only ones that feel this way. Hearing about friends helping strangers gives you the feeling that all will be right in this world, eventually. Being kinky and homebound is not a bad thing. You just need to separate yourself from the kids and get your kink on… all by yourself, or with a close friend that you are sequestered with. Push the limits, after all, you have nothing else to do.This show’s panel: Peter “MksThingHappin” - ChicagoPhoenix Soul - SydneyUniquelyManda - GenevaNookie - RaleighPavlov - PittsburghTorch the Witch - North VancouverMissTress - NashvilleSir Wu - New York CityKeywords: podcast, kinkycast, coronavirus, social, distance, view, worldwide, panel, guests, cope, binge, boredom, kink, video, kids, poly, relationship, friends, strangers, sequestered, mksthingshappin, Peter, phoenix, Manda, nookie, pavlov, unicorn husbandry, kitten, torc, tress, wu

#327-#328 - Mental Health Double HeaderHave you ever wondered if you were the only one that ____________? Fill in the blank with your very own personal affliction that falls into the area called mental health. How do I know what would go in the blank? Check out our two shows this week and our guests will guide along a path of help groups and observations of what is going on in the minds of other Kinksters. Some that come to mind are, PTSD, dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, OCD, bipolar, dysthymia, eating disorders and many more. Some Kinksters realized some of these disorders after an intense play session. We have seen PTSD after a consent violation. In episode #327 “Silkys_kitten is a 40-something non-binary slave collared to Mama_silky. They find relief in kink from the responsibilities of their vanilla career as a mental health clinician. They became involved in kink a few years ago, in middle age. They’re into impact play, fire cupping, needle play, erotic hypnosis, and enthusiastically discovering more kinks and types of play.”In episode #328 AlphaKat says "More Than Just A Fantasy (MTJAF) is a nationwide movement aimed at raising awareness of mental illnesses and associated stigmas, and eradicating barriers to mental health within the Leather and BDSM Communities. MTJAF provides intensives, community building opportunities, consultations, monthly discussion groups, and resources through trigger sensitive lenses.”Link: http://mtjaf.com/Keywords: podcast, kinkycast, PTSD, dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, OCD, bipolar, dysthymia, eating disorders, mental, health, mtjaf, leather, BDSM, play, stigma

#331 - Guy Baldwin - Hardy Haberman - Race Bannon(Show link is at the bottom of the text)Today’s trio has been on the gay leather scene from practically it’s beginning. What was being gay in the sixties like? Guy Baldwin tells it like it was being 18 and kicked out of his home for being a homosexual. Guy tells how the WW2 veteran community took him in and taught him what a new family could be. Hardy Haberman in Dallas tells of bars that would warn gay patrons that the vice squad was about to raid and men had to find a female dance partner or risk going to jail. Race Bannon tells of Chicago and the famous gay bars that formed the basis of gay community. Race is an activist in San Francisco now and advises the city council on gay rights. Join us for a two hour tour of how human rights were violated and gay rights didn’t even exist. Three legends of the gay community in the United States tell it like it was, then and now. These are recordings from years back and some on the past timely events were edited out. The story that is told is so important that no matter if you are gay or straight, it’s worth a listen to see how we should not allow people to take away our rights. Guy Baldwin, M.S. (b. 1946) is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist, author, activist, and educator specializing in issues of particular relevance to the BDSM and leather communities. He maintains that inclusion of non-injurious elements of sadomasochism (bondage, flagellation, domination, submission and others) in a consenting sexuality does not itself indicate or confirm mental illness or psycho-sexual dysfunction.In 1982 Baldwin created a database of professionals who knew about and were not prejudiced against kink and BDSM. It is now managed by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom as the Kink And Poly Professionals Directory. Baldwin has written three books, as well as numerous articles for such magazines as Drummer, Frontiers, Checkmate, International Leatherman, and The Leather Journal.

In late 1976, he became interested in the leather subculture. In 1980, Haberman co-produced the first Cedar Springs Carnival, held during Gay Pride Week in Dallas. The Carnival coincided with the Dallas Gay Pride Parade, an event organized by a committee of Oak Lawn merchants and the first in Dallas since 1972. In 1984 Haberman joined the board of the Dallas chapter of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). By the late 1990s, Haberman was a well-known educator in leather circles, teaching classes at events such as Texas Leather Pride in Austin, Spring Iniquity in Houston, Southeast Leatherfest in Atlanta, Kinky Kollege in Chicago, Leathermans Discussion Group in San Francisco, and in many other events in the United States and Canada. In 1999, Haberman and Bill Schmeling received the Steve Maidhof Award for National or International Work from the National Leather Association International. In 2007, the NLAI presented Haberman with a Lifetime Achievement Award. He is currently the Chairperson on the Board of Directors of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance.

#333 - Risley Addix - Hungarian Fetishist

#333 - Risley Addix - Hungarian FetishistThis week's guest, Risley Addix or Daniel as we know him, has been doing classes about fetishes specializing in feet, shoes, boots, armpit and leather; submission and female dominance. He started as a submissive fetishist, but now would consider himself as a fetishist-switch, who can find his completely inner self as a dog or a horse. Interested in personal relationships, and deepening his knowledge about the historical, psychological, evolutionary and anthropological-religious background of fetishes and BDSM. Since he is extremely instinctive and always hunting, I had to change my orientation to Primal predator. The beast needs tamers and he is constantly seeking. About HunCon:Kinks and tales? Are you crazy? We are completely sane. One of the main goals of the fifth edition of the HunCon is to show how deeply kink is integrated in our culture. Think about Little Red Ridinghood (Primal play), Cinderella (shoe and foot fetishism), Aristotle and Phyllis (pony play).Naturally there will be plenty of workshops on interesting kinky topics from CBT to CT, from ropes to flogging... These are not 20th or 21st century "perversions". This is why tales are so important. They are one great source of the old, cultural integration of kink. And we did not talk about the devil, who has a penis at the place of his nose. This is from a Hungarian folk-tale.

#351 - Stepp - Home Grown Home DungeonStepp'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. As time when on he was tying up the neighbor girls as early as 7 or 8 years old. The bondage-type fantasies continued forward through high school and college where he learned most girls like the little slap and tickle. But a little slap and tickle weren't quite enough to satisfy him. Then the interest in heavier and darker stuff began to take shape. As he watched the BND pleasures videos, the Bruce 7 videos, and the HOM videos, added fuel to the fire. As a young man in college, these desires directly conflicted with all the messages we get societally. It does not matter what side of the coin you are on when you find yourself in that deep, you start asking yourself some questions. At some point, I think most people stop and ask why. Other people dwell on this for years. They may never even get over it. Some harbor guilt and shame. These feelings prevent you from moving on and embracing your full self. Fortunately for Stepp, he didn't have that problem. With a religious upbringing, nothing is too intense for me. But he had a firm belief in God and simply said to himself that God doesn't make mistakes. "I am who I am," and this is who God intended made to be. "I'm not broken," and don't need to be fixed. 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.Link: https://fetlife.com/users/794072Keywords: podcast, kinkycast, kink, BDSM, tie, bondage, home, dungeon, passion, suffering, building, intense

#352 - UtmostRestraint - Home Dungeon @utmostrestraintIn 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…I love the sight (and the feel!) of bodies molded and shaped by rope. While total immobilization is magnificent, I especially adore ties that leave some freedom of movement - although the more pathetic and ineffectual these remaining movements can be, the better! My happy place is when a body (mine or someone else's) is squirming and writhing, straining against bonds and struggling with exertion in a futile exploration of the constrained movement its present confinement allows.I often think of bondage play as a sort of advanced yoga practice, a rich set of techniques through which to enjoy the complementary pleasures of movement and stillness.I've also had a long standing fascination with electroplay. Lately I'm especially interested in using electrical muscle stimulation of various forms as a supplement to bondage. I’m intrigued by the opportunities it affords for a bottom to surrender ever more control over their own body to a top.

#353 - John Baku - Locked Down. 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.About John:“I started working on FetLife in October of 2007 and launched the website on January 3rd, 2008. I have been working my tail off ever since I first envisioned FetLife and want to make sure that FetLife becomes the best community, dare I even say social network, for anyone who is kinky or has a fetish. That includes everyone from those who call the fetish community their home to someone who just had the first wet dream that was caused by them fantasizing about one of the many fetishes that are out there. (Can someone over the age of 18 have a wet dream?”)Keywords: podcast, kinkycast, John, Baku, Fetlife, pandemic, locked, down, million, remote, crew, world, thriving, sexuality, kingdom, community, fetish, 2007, 2008Keywords: podcast #kinkycast #John #Baku #Fetlife #pandemic #locked #down #million #remote #crew #world #thriving #sexuality #kingdom #community #fetish #2007 #2008

#359 - Dr. Elizabeth ‘Eli’ Sheff - The Bonding Project 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. Too often mainstream societies take a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships, and dating apps generally focus on one’s quantity of digital connections over quality of compatibility between real humans. With decades of combined personal and professional experience to a variety of romantic and sexual bonding styles, our team sees an opportunity to grow our collective capacity for finding and maintaining diverse, healthy relationships. It is our hope that, through the resources and community we share, we can support all of you on your own journeys.
