57: Science of Non-Monogamy

Mar 11, 2020•34:54

A while ago, we worked with Analisa Murphy who did a scientific study to better understand the effects of non-monogamy (or any kind of open relationship) on relationships and sexual satisfaction. This is now completed, so it was time for an interview to chat about the learnings. She also explains her personal journey into swinging, […]

Sep 11, 2017•38:03

During Naughty in Nawlins 2017 (one of the largest swingers events, in New Orleans), misses Puppy and Jon ran into our instructor for the "erotic wrestling" class.

51: Just Hanging Out

May 14, 2017•44:57

SinD, Reverend Jon, Bill and Alice hang out together in this post-action debrief bedcast. It was Alice's first visit to a BDSM dungeon (we took her to "Dragon's Gate" in Los Angeles), where she got tied up and suspended, and had all sorts of things done to her. We give our updates and review […]

In second part, debrief with "Nightowl", the poor massage therapist (and general fun kinky […]

47: Transgender Swinging and Kink

Jun 26, 2016•48:01

We had an interesting discussion with Lee Harrington, author of an eclectic set of books. His latest is "Traversing Gender", which provides a "newbies guide to other genders", with many references throughout the world and history. It also reviews the differences between all the various terms like "transgender", "transsexual", "trans", "intersex" and a multitude of others.

As a transgender person, the realities of "play" in both the swinging or BDSM lifestyles is completely different and very challenging. Lee explains the differences in treatment of transgender folk throughout the years, and his own transition.

46: Bahamas Boat Bedcast

Apr 4, 2016•36:00

The entire team jumps on the big bed in the Captain's catamaran in the Bahamas. We catch up on what everybody has been doing.

We just completed the "Beachbody cruise" with about 6000 well-trained bodies stuck on a boat.
Captain is chartering the boat for "AirBB" and kinky travel. (Drop him a line if interested: boating@blissbringers.com).
Villain Jon is coding away on his new super-secret sexy project.
SinD is getting swingers into sexy shape. (If you want to be trained by her, send her a mail)
The girls agree: the celebrator is the best vibrator you can own (you even hear it in action)

If you like a cruise with sexy swingers, we recommend "Couple Cruises".

45: SantaCon and the year in review

Jan 25, 2016•42:55

We take it down a notch and review the year 2015 and make our plans for 2016, which includes the BeachBody cruise, Naugthy in Nawlins and other fun swinger activities.

The team reports in from "SantaCon" San Francisco, where our gang tried to convert some vanillas during the wild "city takeover". First we go shopping in at the BDSM flea-market at the Citadel for new toys, then we take over "Divas", which is a cross-dressers bar, and create havoc and spanking demonstrations. It is amazing how quickly you can get people on state to get their butts spanked and flogged once you give them a few drinks and an excuse.

After all that the entire group crashes at the hotel, and we let Mr. Bill run wild again with the recorder. He gets (those who haven't crashed yet) to review their best stories.

We also answer a couple of listener e-mails:

A listener in Tasmania whats to find places to get their kink on locally.

44: Bawdy Storytelling and the Folsom Slave

Dec 11, 2015•22:15

We got an incredible deal for you today, just in time for the holidays! This episode is a double feature:

We visited "Bawdy Storytelling" and spoke with the ever unstoppable "Dixie De La Tour" about her concept of erotic storytelling as an art form, changing the community and ... fisting on a first date.

As is a yearly ritual, we also hit "Folsom Street Faire", after which we interview "Marcello", who works as a performer on stage an in various videos for Kink.com and others. He talks about the porn industry, being a professional slave and performing in front of an audience.

All the images from both event are available in our Kasidie group, since that has proven the best way to keep the kids out.

43: Flogging and Lusting in Las Vegas

Nov 11, 2015•36:07

Our gang hits "Fetish and Fantasy" again in Las Vegas.

There is a lot of spanking and flogging going on stage, as usual.

This year, we have some extra complications:

A gang of "hashers" takes over the hotel and causes havoc while our gang is trying to recover from their own naughty but exhausting activities
Mr. Bill brought along a vanilla friend, who has no idea what is going on. She gets dunked in our pool of debauchery, while we hope she doesn't drown in the craziness.
Spoiler: She does fine!
We even interview her before and after her experience, which leads to interesting insight into how outsiders view the world of swinging and BDSM, and how the view changes after exposure.

42: Vintage BDSM

Oct 7, 2015•37:59

For your listening pleasure, we have a bunch of different subjects.

Jon and SinD head to Los Angeles again to hang out with Mister Bill. While Jon gets busy with one of his favorite play partners, the rest of the gang talks about the history of BDSM in L.A. This goes all the way back to the early days of "Society of Janus", "Presidium" and Treshold, when it was just a couple of kinky people playing around in a rented X-rated movie studio.

We lured the makers of "SportSheets" (we interviewed and tested the product previously) to Dragons gate.

We are taking the violet wand to Burning Man to zap people in the dessert!

There are plenty of other random discussions, gummy bears and reviews of Jon's performance as a swinger.

Bill interviews Ernest Greene (and his wife, Nina Hartley) about his newest book, "Master of O" and they trade anecdotes from way back in time (around when they invented rope).

Professor T and Jon review the news:

Aug 28, 2015•43:41

Villain Jon heads to one of the largest swingers events in the country, to spread the gospel of bondage and kink. We debrief with Brian and Tangerine from Tangerines Dream about the event the parties, the "poker runs", dances and events.

Jon talks about the workshops, demonstrations of flogging, electric play in the dungeon and the problems of teaching an entire room of crazy swingers to tie each-other up.

His shenanigans were also documented by "We Gotta Thing" and "Swinger Diaries".

Jul 4, 2015•41:37

39: The Hot Tub Time Machine

Jun 7, 2015•33:27

We got ourselves a few drinks and head for the hot tub, for our every own "bath-cast" (our homage to the Kapers), and debrief about our sexy adventures at the yearly swingers retreat. Some of the stories involve spanking and flogging. During half-time, Mistress SinD puts on her own show, which is not to be missed.

In the second part, we interview "the newbies", hosts of "Primal Pleasure Parties" which includes "the art gallery" and "the winery" (as mentioned in Shira & Gavin's swinging adventure) .

Sponsors: Kasidie ("Facebook for the sexually social") and Couples Cruises (No kids on this boat!).

38: Naughty in Nawlins and on boats

Mar 29, 2015•46:27

We had a long chat with Bob Hannaford (half of the infamous "Bob & Tess" team), famous for creating spectacular events and cruises.

Bob talks about the swinging lifestyle, being naked (pretty much a requirement to survive in New Orleans) and having a great time at a convention. They stared with having 100 couples, now their events welcome more than 800 couples each. Instead of creating one big event, they create a cluster of smaller activities, so that everybody can find their own thing.

The culture of New Orleans is very open to all walks of life. Bob has been organizing a parade during Naughty in N’awlins for over 10 years, which has morphed into a "swingers pride parade". It almost looks like a sexy political rally.

The only people who make less money when the swingers take over the own are the strippers. But they do have strip-club take-overs, to great effect!

Unlike the average playroom, Bob and Tess's room are nicely decorated and inviting "Tantra Palaces". There is also a greater variety, f

37: 2 Girls, 1 City: Practical polyamory in London

36: Adventures of a Single Male in the Swinging lifestyle

Jan 10, 2015•30:49

Can you get into the swingers scene as a single male? Many have tried and failed (some more spectacularly than others) but we talk do Daniel, who not only lived to tell the tale, he also wrote a book about it called “swingland”.

We discuss:

How to be yourself
Creepy things to avoid
Not sending pictures of your junk (unless asked for)
Making yourself useful at parties in order to get yourself to be indispensable
Playing “Poker for pussy"
Swinging as single male versus a female
Experienced couples versus newbies
Being aware of couples with internal issues
Dangers of recently broken-up single females
Sense of humor
Swinger-based TV series are mediocre at best, so we have to make our own

35: Fetish & Fantasy 2: Journey to the Dark Side

Dec 20, 2014•37:47

Just like last year, we hit Vegas like rockstars :) First there were a bunch of spectacular swinger parties, then we spent the night on stage flogging and spanking the most

We welcome our newest member “Victoria Secret” from across the pond, who we just lured to the dark side. There was flogging of a moose, which may or may not have been president Obama.

Like any good sports team, we had a dedicated massage therapist Bob. He works for “No shame massage” in the LA area. To top off all the kinky stuff, we went to see “Wicked” the musical.

Did I mention there was lots of spanking of sexy people, and various swingers parties? Reverent Jon managed to get into trouble by having sex in the BDSM room (again!). He tried to compensate by having being kinky in the sex room. Let's hope the organizers agree that it cancels each-other out.

Pictures from the event can be found in our Kasidie community albums.

34: Kink.com, Folsom Street Faire, adopting a pet

Nov 22, 2014•43:31

Another "recap episode", where SinD and Jon try to remember all the adventures since last time! First up is BondCon, a new conference at "The Armory", home of "Kink.com". We meet various famous educators, but the misses was most impressed with "Thraje" and Cléo Dubois, and the single-tail whipping skills of "Disciple".

We visit Folsom Street Faire and interview random victims (to great amusement). It turns out that bi-males do exist!

Misses also adopted a (human submissive) pet, and took her to a swingers party. This put a spotlight on the differences between protocols and appropriate behavior between the swinger and BDSM/kink communities. In the later, there is a more strict enforcement of the "ask for consent first" rule, which sometimes gets forgotten by the experienced swingers. Also, one has to make sure that one scene does not take so long that one doesn't get laid. "Cock-blocking" may have occurred, and Jon got the woman with "worlds most impressive ass" in trouble.
