Episode 141 - The Ever Evolving Evolution of THRIVE & Pragmatically Kinking with Master Devyn Stone
Description- In this episode we sit down once again with Master Devyn Stone to discuss THRIVE con, a virtual by donation con focusing on the above the neck aspects of kink and bdsm. We go in depth on how classes are reviewed and chosen to be a part of the con. A lot of factors go into selecting these classes to ensure they are the best classes that fit into what this con provides and seeks to educate on. Devyn also gives us a big look behind the curtain into what putting together an online kink and mental health conference entails and all of the work involved. It's a lot of work and involves a very dedicated team of individuals working together to make the best and only free virtual mental health kink conference. We also go into how this process ties into Pragmatically Kinking. Many of the classes not chosen for THRIVE will get selected for a slot in Pragmatically Kinking a lot of this depends on the tough choices the THRIVE and PK teams make to ensure great classes and representation for the kink community.

Episode 139 - Can you hear me now? - Navigating the kink world while deaf with EtoileDC
Episode Description:
In this episode Mx Dizzy and Marquis Pup Rekkr talk with Meredith, known as EtoileDC in virtual spaces, a deaf human and a kink and sexuality educator based in Washington DC, who has been teaching since 2016 and has presented across the United States. Despite the difficulties, obvious and not so obvious, of interviewing a deaf person virtually for an audio-only podcast, Meredith was more than willing to take on the task with us. We worked together to figure out how to accommodate her specific needs and to conduct an interview which rivals the quality of all of our others.
We discuss how being deaf is seen in the kink community and navigating various spaces as a deaf person as well as how kink spaces can be more accommodating for deaf and hard of hearing people.
Etoile DC also does work around Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria in polyamorous and kinky relationships on their Patreon. She graciously shares with us some of her advice and strategies on managing RSD within the context of kink and BDSM specifically. Join us to learn more about Rejection Sensitivity, polyamory, kink relationships, and being a deaf kinkster!

Episode Description: In this engaging interview, our hosts, Mx Dizzy and Marquis Pup Rekkr are joined by Carta Monir as she shares her journey as a trans woman, disabled artist, and sex worker, offering a raw and insightful look into how her identities shape her understanding of pleasure, pain, and self-expression. She discusses her early experiences with kink, highlighting how her evolving self-awareness both post-transition and as her disability progressed, opened new avenues for exploring BDSM and eroticism. Carta emphasizes the importance of honesty and vulnerability in her artistic work, using her writing and visuals to challenge societal shame and foster acceptance around taboo topics like disability fetishism, transness, and non-monogamy. She advocates for a non-judgmental approach to kink, emphasizing that all desires are valid and that exploring them can be empowering, especially for marginalized communities.
Throughout the conversation, Carta also explores how her physical limitations influence her sexual practices, sharing creative adaptations that allow her to participate safely and comfortably. She talks about the significance of ethical non-monogamy in building community, trust, and intimacy, especially as a disabled trans woman, and reflects on her approach to safe sex, health, and boundaries. Her openness about her journey with hormone therapy, her work in sex-positive art and porn, and her efforts to destigmatize fetishization of disability make her a powerful voice for liberation, self-acceptance, and community building in the kink and sex-positive worlds. Her story encourages listeners to embrace their authentic selves and explore their desires without shame.

Episode Summary: Mx Dizzy (they/them) and Marquis Pup Rekkr (he/they) talk with Master Devyn Stone (he/him), known as Sir Horror, a recurring guest on The Kinky Tavern Podcast. Devyn is a fear play educator, horror enthusiast, and prop collector who shares his extensive experience exploring the psychology and theatricality of fear within BDSM. He emphasizes that fear play is versatile and accessible, capable of being incorporated into any scene or dynamic without extremes or taboos.
We discuss the importance of consent, negotiation, boundaries, safe signals, and debriefs to mitigate risk and build trust, especially in fear play. Devyn explores the significance of headspace, mental triggers, and physical props like masks, fake weapons, and stage blood to evoke genuine fear while maintaining some semblance of safety. He highlights creativity, resourcefulness, and understanding personal responses as key to effective fear play, which combines psychological and physical skills to foster deep connections and excitement.
Devyn offers practical advice on sourcing props, building trust, and managing risks, emphasizing the importance of compatibility, consent, and preparation. He shares personal stories about his relationship with his property Guan-Xuan and how they incorporate fear into daily life and BDSM dynamics. Devyn advocates for ongoing education, resourcefulness, and community connections (such as local haunt shops and small businesses). The episode wraps up with a playful discussion on props, horror conventions, and embracing darker, more primal aspects of oneself in a consensual way. Listeners are encouraged to explore fear with imagination, care, and respect.
