Drag Queens, Bisexuality, and Switches Oh My!

Strap in folks, this episode takes all kinds of twists and turns! This was not necessarily the episode we wanted to come back with, but it’s happening regardless. You’ll have to excuse the randomness and unstructured format of it as we go off on several different tangents. Be a fly on the wall as we lay and talk in aftercare from our Rough Body Play class hosted by Filthy FemDom and Filth Syndicate Events. This episode gives a closer look at our dynamic and how we debrief after a class or playtime. We are tossing around the idea of doing more episodes like this because we’ve gotten feedback that people enjoy the sneak peek into the intimacy of our 24/7 dynamic. So if you enjoy this type of content from us, please leave us a note or send an email!

Pack your bowl, make sure your vapes are charged, or roll something…either way, get ready for a wild time. And we’re going to play a little game so you need to be prepared: every time Parker says the word “interesting,” you take a hit!

Key topics:
● How it feels to get back into rough body play
● The art and dance between a top and bottom
● The responsibilities of a top in a scene
● Overcoming obstacles of virtual education as educators
● Discussing the possibility of recording longer demos because they get cut short
● Jell-o wrestling and how to make it as safe as possible

This week’s show was so much fun to record! And it has been a long time coming! After many scheduling attempts, we finally got Jessica Gonzalez, aka The Mommy Jane to join us in the lounge. We talk a little bit about what NLP, or neuro-linguistic programming, is and how it’s useful. There were more than a few hilarious moments where we talked about imposter syndrome and what it’s like to be an influencer. We chat about the importance of language and how we talk to ourselves. Jessica shares a terrifying experience that changed her life that all started with olive oil. We got the scoop on a new app where you can track your cannabis usage and the effects it has on you. Our conversation flows and we cover so many different topics so you better strap in for this one!

Jessica Gonzalez is a California cannabis patient, NLP and mindset coach, wife, and mother of two young girls, residing in Northern California. After trading her prescription drug and wine abuse for plant medicine back in 2015, she discovered a wealth of health and knowledge from her own research and personal experiences regarding cannabis and plant medicine, which allowed her to overcome a myriad of physical and mental health issues. 

Knowing how impactful plant medicine was, but realizing the lack of education and awareness on social media, Jessica wanted to help others discover their path to health, wellness and success. As a mom on a mission, @themommyjane was born: a social media community dubbed “The Neighborhood'' where people could be educated, entertained and inspired. Jessica works hard every day sharing her knowledge and power with others and believes wholeheartedly that mindset, mindfulness and Mary Jane are the key to a fulfilling and abundant life. 

Key topics: 

● Becoming “the mommyjane”

● Parenthood and cannabis

● The terrible stereotypes of stoners 

● Mindfulness with Mary Jane

● Cannabis as the anecdote to the pandemic

● Some of Jessica’s favorite products

● Great cannabis resources

Hello everyone! We have an amazing episode for you this week! Shani Hart, the founder of The Noir Leaf, joined us in the lounge to talk all about her company and THC’s sober cousin: CBD. The idea for The Noir Leaf was born in 2019 when Shani noticed that there were not a lot of places where she lived that were accessible to buy and learn about CBD products. In fact, she realized many African Americans didn’t even know what CBD was. That had to change.

Shani has over 6 years of experience in the retail business for sensual and sexual health and pleasure. As a certified Sexuality Coach, the owner of Noir Leaf CBD & Co. understands the sensual and sexual needs of women of color. Her dedication to provide quality products and educate her community of the benefits of CBD is something she was born to do.

Shani shares all about her experience starting her company and some of the obstacles she ran into in the process. You’ll get a glimpse into her “hoe-phase” and how that helped propel her into her career. For those who may not know a lot about CBD and its benefits in the bedroom, as well as outside of it, this is a really great episode filled with tons of knowledge and hilarious conversation. Shani is as real as they come and we cannot wait to have her back on the show. 

Key topics: 

● Shani’s desire to help educate women of color on CBD and their pleasure

● Learn about some of the science of CBD

● Benefits of using CBD products over THC products

● Things to look for on labels when shopping for products

● Some of her more popular products, including arousal oil and how to use it!

● Favorite ways to use CBD outside of the bedroom

● THCa and Delta-8

The three of us were very eager to talk more about sex and cannabis and how to really embrace the whole plant to aid in more pleasurable experiences. Reba talks about her favorite thing to host online and all the fun details of what that entails. This episode is a great way to kick things back off after our brief break, you don’t want to miss it!

Welcome to another wonderful week at the KIC Lounge! Joining us all the way from the west coast is Anne Hodder-Shipp. We have been looking forward to this episode since Anne said she’d love to be a guest on the show. Our conversation shed a lot of light on something we all experience: dreams, among other subjects. It was extremely fascinating to hear about her journey as a dreamworker, from discovering it as a client to facilitating sessions with clients of her own. We talk all about the power of our subconscious and how that plays a role in our dreams and how we experience life. Anne works to dismantle many common misconceptions there are about dreamwork as well as talking about common themes people have in their dreams. In previous episodes, we’ve talked about sex education for the younger generations but in this episode we get more into consent and the importance of teaching that to kids when they are very young. We found this episode to be extremely enlightening and think you will too! Maybe you’ll even think about your dreams differently.
 
Anne Hodder-Shipp, CSE, (she/they) is a multi-certified sex and relationships educator with professional training in breathwork and holistic dreamwork. Anne has been working with, writing about, and teaching others about sex and relationships in some form for more than 13 years, and in addition to her private practice and public workshops, Anne also leads treatment groups for clients recovering from substance use disorder, eating disorders, compulsive sexual behavior and other stigmatized illnesses. In addition to her private practice, Anne also is the founder and lead educator at Everyone Deserves Sex Education (EDSE), manages sex-positive PR firm Hodder Media Inc., and is co-producer of the SEX+ Summit.

Key topics:

● What is dreamwork?
● Dreamwork as an alternative form of therapy
● How the body holds trauma and different experiences
● Consent culture and the importance of teaching it to kids
● Anne’s work with Everyone Deserves Sex Education

We have a fantastic show for you this week! Parker was dealing with some tooth pain and was not as talkative in this episode so we just wanted to let you know that Miss Mackenzee really took the lead. Joining us is Rain DeGrey who took some time out of her busy schedule to chat with us! We really enjoyed this conversation not only because we’ve both enjoyed Rain’s work for years but because it provided a lot of really great insights. We talk all about the importance of helping to educate people in the scene particularly those that are new and exploring, the idea of play frenzy and how it can be dangerous, and being a kinky introvert (like so many of us). We got to hear about Rain's lonely cock in a very sexy chat about strap on play. Mackenzee and Rain really bonded over the fact that tops get drained and droppy too after a scene, not just bottoms. Rain shared that she is on the autism spectrum and how that factors into her play as well as talking a bit about her fascinating experiences with synesthesia. Want to hear all about how Jesus on the cross is sexy or nuns being naughty? You'll want to tune into this episode.

Rain Degrey is an international educator, writer, presenter, podcaster, and performer that has been writing articles and teaching classes, focusing on kink, relationships, and sex education since 2009. After getting her start as a fetish model, Pro Domme, and competitive wrestler, she was motivated to branch out into education, something she is extremely passionate about. Demystifying sexuality and presenting in a clear humorous way are trademarks of her teaching style. She believes strongly in making sex education fun and engaging. She has taught on a wide variety of topics at numerous venues including Harvard University, Northwestern University, Kink.com, The Citadel, Dark Odyssey, Folsom Street Fair, KinkAcadamy, Thunder in the Mountains, and Boundcon.

Key topics:

● Rain talks about one of her most extreme edge play scenes, including behind the scenes details
● The importance of not using kink as therapy
● Lessons learned from being a heavy bottom
● The illusions that editing create in porn
● Strap on sex and why it’s so great
● Religious play, what is it and what can it look like?

This week in the Lounge, we had Willow stop by to talk with us. Willow is the type of person that gives meaning to the phrase "good things come in small packages." He brings such a warm and fun energy with him and he certainly brought it in this conversation. The three of us share a love of medical play and all things sharps-related. Don't worry if you don't know what that means. You'll find out in this episode. Parker and Willow talk about the headspace for pet play and what draws them to that type of play. Willow shares how being trans has influenced his life in kink. We talk all about edge play including hook suspensions, balancing safety with the need to learn and practice more extreme types of play, managing kink and vanillas lives, and so much more. Willow also shares a fun memory he had with our puppy pre-COVID.

Willow is a natural teacher and an engaging, inventive player with many years of experience in a wide variety of kinks. As a sadomasochistic switch, his classes are designed to speak to both the top and the bottom of a scene, (since without one or the other, you are left with his self suspension class!) Willow enjoys breath play, rope, pony play, needles, knives, and thuddy things and is now turning his years of experience on both sides of the reins into comprehensive classes on sadistic rope, venipuncture, and more! Kink is a core part of who he is and what he does, followed closely by ethical sluttery and a love of learning. Willow runs relaxed, hands-on classes, and is passionate about getting students engaged with the subject at hand. Along with his free pandemic classes on rope bondage, he offers private lessons where he can tailor the content to your interests, skill level, and really dig into the subject at hand.

Key topics:

● How to find the kink community even if you live in the backwoods of Kentucky
● Medical play: what is it and what can it look like?
● The risks and joys of hook suspensions
● Exploring the world of pony play
● Sex and dating as a trans man
● Coming out and family support
