    When One Partner's Kinky & the Other Isn't with Amanda Dames

    Amanda Dames, The Kink Consultant, loves helping couples struggling to reconcile a mismatch in their desires, specifically surrounding kink. She's a certified Somatica sex and relationship coach and certified sexologist who specializes in couples where one partner is kinky and the other one isn't, and the way she works with them will change how you think about asking for what you want, whether your fantasy involves rope or just finally being taken to a dinner you didn't have to plan. In this episode: - Why both monogamy and polyamory require partners to make sacrifices, and no one wants to talk about it - Amanda's first coaching move isn't catering to the kinky partner, it's finding out what the vanilla partner actually wants - Why "I don't have any fantasies" is almost never true - The massage problem: why her ask and his ask are way closer than either of them thinks - Porn vs. romance novels — both are erotic material, but only one gets made fun of by men - Nine out of ten of Amanda's clients are husbands who want to submit (and her theory on why the dominant ones are all from New Jersey) - Amanda's ten-session process with couples, laid out start to finish - Why she thinks communication is NOT the most important thing in relationships - The most freeing thing you'll hear if you're scared to top someone — they're already doing 90% of the work - Subspace, dom flow, and finding your authentic dominant instead of playing a role - Amanda gets real about her own jealousy, and says something out loud she never has before - How patriarchy cuts men off from their vulnerability and women off from their power FOLLOW AMANDA: Join her free monthly group for women exploring their dominant side — email info@thekinkconsultant.com with a photo or social handle Website: https://amandadames.com The Kink Consultant Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3psOpSZMQQYm2cN69bIKwc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_kinkconsultant Join Amanda at Hedonism for Swinkation (use code TKC50 for up to $400 off): https://www.swinkation.com/ SUPPORT THE SHOW!

    Become Your Own Best Lover with Annette Benedetti

    My new crush Annette Benedetti — intimacy coach and host of Talk Sex with Annette — is one of the most joyful, flirty humans I've ever talked sex with. And she got here the hard way: surviving assault at 13, a town that acted like it was her fault, and decades of healing before finding her voice again. This is the story movies never tell — the part after, where you survive, you still want sex, and you go on to build the wildly happy erotic life the world tried to take away from you. This is the story I want for all survivors. In this one we get into: The misogynistic atmosphere that groomed Annette as a young girl, and the story her town told instead of the truthWhat patriarchy does to survivors (and why the conventional-wife "happy ending" is a myth)Reclaiming her voice and how President Trump unwittingly inspired her podcastBecoming her own best lover: her free 365 Days of Orgasms journeyA love letter to the G-spot and A-spot - yum!Testosterone, perimenopause, and libido after 40Layered sensation, patterns, and a very practical toy tutorial Whether you're a survivor, a late bloomer, or just body-curious, come get lit up with us, pinecones.

    Socially Monogamous, Sexually Free with John & Jackie Melfi of OpenLove101

    Pinecones, this week is a little different: a joint episode! I traveled to Houston to sit down with John and Jackie Melfi—leaders in the American swinger community, owners of the legendary Colette lifestyle clubs (Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and New Orleans), and the couple behind OpenLove101.com, where I used to blog back in the day. Between them they've got three-plus decades of experience with non-monogamous marriage, swinging, and sexual freedom, and their studio team handled the filming, so you KNOW it looks good. Full disclosure: John and Jackie and I don't agree on everything—the swinger world is a lot more politically diverse than the poly/ENM crowd—and that's kind of the point. This is what it looks like to connect across differences on the things that matter: autonomy, freedom, pleasure, joy, and integrity while pursuing all of the above. In this episode: Social monogamy vs. sexual monogamy—and why those "monogamous" birds are hiding a scandal in the nestIf we were naturally monogamous, we wouldn't need so many rulesHow John went from Star Trek nerd to lifestyle club owner (via one very inspiring night in Amsterdam)The high school double-date that turned into a marriage… three decades laterJackie's journey from strict monogamy to sexual empowerment—and the daily journaling that became OpenLove101Comets: the long-distance lovers (and friends!) you keep for years—and John's realization that he's been collecting them all alongWhy we need to stop fetishizing romantic relationships and start honoring romantic friendshipsMy marriage, my divorce-in-progress, and what happens when someone loves the idea of you more than the actual youThe childhood shame stories John and I both carry from first grade—and how shame rewrites our memoriesThe myth that you can't be sexually prolific AND wholesomeHow men can become givers in bed (step one: actually see women as people)The bartender who taught teenage John everything, bless herWhy "be a safe man" is the best sex advice there isThe spit-in-the-mouth trend, litigated at lastThe micro-flinch story: what real attunement looks like in bed At the end of the episode, I share something personal: I lost a good friend to suicide this week. If you've been putting off a catch-up call with someone you love, make the call. And if you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988—or email me. We take care of each other around here.

    The Introvert Who Threw the World's Wildest Sex Parties with Polly Superstar

    Pinecones, I am GLOWING. This week I sat down with a legend: Polly Superstar—founder of San Francisco's iconic Mission Control and the global Kinky Salon movement, latex fashion designer, author of the memoir Polly: Sex Culture Revolutionary, and now the magical mermaid behind the Writing with Mermaids somatic writing retreats. For 25 years, Polly threw the most whimsical, artistic, immersive sex parties on the planet... while secretly being a sensitive introvert whose bed was literally in the coat check. We talk about what it costs to build everybody else's liberation, why letting go of Kinky Salon was their real life's work, and how the story you're dying to write is hiding in your body. In this episode: How a latex fashion designer from London became the godmother of San Francisco sex party cultureWhat actually happens at a Kinky Salon (lovingly known as "the sex party you go to and don't get laid")The haunted-house Zoom kink parties that kept everyone sane during the pandemic—featuring a demon topping you from HellWhy Polly says "everybody else's liberation was my prison"Living at Mission Control for nine years with a bed in the coat checkBurnout, boners, and being SO over bothWhat it's like to be raised with ZERO sexual shame—and then discovering patriarchy is alive and wellWhy Polly explored celibacy after decades of sluttiness (and why their community got weird about it)Setting out to find a lover in every port... and the same man showing up in every single one (reader, they married him)Being a California love bomber in CopenhagenGender, labels, and why Annie Sprinkle's "metamorphosexual" might be the best one ever coinedWhimsymaxxing as a 25-year legacy (thank you for the word, Liz Plank!)Why the story resides in the body, not the mind—and how water unlocks itHot springs, silence, and word flow at the Writing with Mermaids retreats FOLLOW POLLY SUPERSTAR: Website & Writing Retreats: https://www.withmermaids.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pollywordflow Buy Polly's memoir, Polly: Sex Culture Revolutionary, directly from Polly—they'll sign it and ship it to you themself (do NOT buy it from Amazon): https://www.pollysuperstar.com Get Polly's FREE 3-day writing course: https://pollysuperstar.impact.me/wordflowjumpstart SUPPORT THE SHOW!

    From Cult Kid to Pro Dom with Lyra

    I met Lyra at Dixie De La Tour's birthday orgy in San Francisco. (Yes, that's a sentence I get to say now.) We made out, she flew across the country a few weeks later to spend 28 magical hours with me and my partner Daniel, and my crush on her is TRULY ridiculous. Lyra is a professional dominatrix and sex educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area who specializes in pegging, anal play, and helping people feel more at home in their own bodies and desires. But that's only part of her story. She also grew up in a high-control religious cult, survived an unimaginably painful rock bottom, and rebuilt her life with the help of community, pleasure, and an unwavering refusal to let anybody shame her sexuality. She's funny, brilliant, deeply compassionate, and one of the most emotionally intelligent people I've met in a long time. I adore this woman. In this episode, we discuss: How Lyra went from cult kid to professional dominatrixWhy pressure doesn't work for sex (or relationships)Growing up in a high-control religious community that was oddly sex-positive... and deeply unhealthyDiscovering polyamory and Bay Area sex partiesWhy powerful men often crave surrenderWhat it's actually like to specialize in peggingThe difference between empowering sex work and exploitationSupporting men's emotional healing through intimacy and touchWhy Lyra believes we're all capable of reclaiming our "slutitude" SUPPORT LYRA: Website: https://queenlyra.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenlyra11 SUPPORT THE SHOW!

    He Thought Women Were the Problem

    Alex is a straight Black man in his mid-forties who has only had one relationship in his entire life. For years, loneliness, rejection, and crushing social anxiety convinced him that women were the problem, and he reinvented himself as a huge jerk for most of his adult life. Deep down, though, he was carrying wounds much older and deeper than he realized. In this brutally honest conversation, we talk about sex work, incel culture, entitlement, masculinity, loneliness, and the long road from resentment to self-awareness. It's one of the most nuanced conversations I've ever had about the emotional lives of lonely men—and what it actually takes to heal. In this episode: The question at the heart of male loneliness: "What's wrong with me?"How rejection turned into resentmentWhat it's like to spend decades searching for love without finding itHow sex can meet a basic need but can't fill an emotional voidWhy he thought women were the problemThe panic attacks that still happen when he approaches a womanMy controversial theory about what lonely men actually needA dating strategy that takes the pressure off everyone SUPPORT THE SHOW!

    Casual Doesn't Have to Mean Careless with Billy Procida, Jr.

    It's my goal to get as many of my comet lovers (and anchor lovers!) on the show as possible, and Billy Procida, Jr., is the first! Huzzah! I have such a crush. Billy is a comedian, writer, and podcaster out of New York City. He's been producing weekly episodes of the Manwhore Podcast for 12 years now, and his Naked Comedy Show - which is exactly what it sounds like - sells out every month in Brooklyn and is now expanding to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Chicago. He's been featured in the New York Times and writes about sex, dating, and gender for Mashable. I like Billy because he sounds like straight bro comedians like Joe Rogan could sound like if they weren't so deeply misogynistic. In this episode, we discuss: Billy's post-breakup happy slut era! Yay!Why casual doesn't have to mean carelessHow to flirt with women without being weirdThe surprising secret to getting laid moreNon-monogamy, comet lovers, and relationship freedomWhy nonsexualized nudity is important for sex positivitySex parties, gangbang etiquette, and consent-oriented communication that actually worksHow to be emotionally available without rushing into commitment SUPPORT BILLY: Billy's Website: www.manwhorepod.com Subscribe to the Manwhore Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-manwhore-podcast-sex-positive-conversations/id864068000 Billy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billyprocidajr/ Billy on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@billyprocidajr Naked Comedy Show NYC (June 25): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989846095236 Naked Comedy Show Chicago (July 10): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989444027641 Hear Me Overshare on the Manwhore Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/can-you-switch-from-polyamory-to-monogamy/id864068000?i=1000753133897 SUPPORT THE SHOW!
