Talking Kink With Alex + Ellie Talking Kink With Alex + Ellie Podcast

We use the term cult very often and loosely these days, but the fact of the matter is that cults are out there, in great numbers, and able to prey on more people than ever. Even worse, when you find yourself confronted with the dark sides of mentors and friends who supposedly embraced you without conditions and with open hearts, it always, always turns very creepy and very sexual. Alex and Ellie wade through the sinister world of cults and the tactics they use to draw in new members, plus cult erotica writer Christian Pan weighs in on how these groups are portrayed in fiction vs. what they're like in reality.

If you want to watch someone's brain melt out of their ears, build a time machine, then send a person from 1924 to modern times and tell them to find a date. As human progress and technology kicked into exponential overdrive, even something as basic as how we meet, start relationships, and develop them underwent radical, mental whiplash-inducing changes. In this week's episode, we trace the history of dating, courtship, and sexual revolutions, and even venture into outwardly taboo and secretive dynamics with Marcus of Secrets Of A Sugar Daddy.

Have you and your partner ever looked at each other and thought “You know what would make this more fun? If we take our fun out on the road and meet some fun new friends!” Well, if you did and aren’t exactly sure where to start or how to kick things up that extra notch, Alex, Ellie, and guest Poppy Lang have some very useful tips, tricks, games, ideas, and words of caution for you.

From low tech to high tech, prehistoric to the fresh off a brand new assembly line, Alex and Ellie dive into the past, present, and future of sex toys. Covering just about everything from bizarre laws that limits how many sex toys you can own and how the should be regulated, to improvised “pervertables,” to absolutely terrifying modern machinery of (advertised) pleasure, to a conservation about sex toy design and testing with sex educator and coach Violet Fawkes, this episode is almost guaranteed to make you an expert in adult devices.

Fellatio, mouth hug, b*****b or blow hobby, going down, giving head... No matter what you call it, oral doesn't have to be relegated to foreplay, a sort of underrated appetizer for more typical, usually much more penetrative acts, taken for granted despite also requiring skill, effort, training, and dedication. Alex and Ellie talk about oral do's and don'ts, and join erotic author Eli Casablanca to see how oral can steal the show when given the chance to do so, and done right.

Comparison is the thief of joy, as Teddy Roosevelt once said, but deep down, we're all a little curious. How do we match up with those around us? And that curiosity even extends to how many partners we've had compared to those our age, or just overall. Turns out, those statistics are fuzzier and have more leeway than you might think, so Alex and Ellie bring some math and psychology to the "body count" question while dissecting and correcting the clickbait filling social media.
