Erotic Awakening Podcast

Half of the leather community seems to be wanting to “earn” their leathers, and the other half does not feel qualified to “gift” leathers. Scotty Thomson and Katie Fulcrum join Lee Harrington in this passionate discussion about what leather means, leather identity, and getting turned on amidst a culture of tribal customs. Along the way the council of elders votes on a few issues, laughter is shared, and hearts are poured out for the world.   Scotty Thomson: https://fetlife.com/users/63099 Katie Fulcrum: https://fetlife.com/users/83858 Links Mentioned: International Mr. Leather – http://www.imrl.com Dark Odyssey.com – http://www.DarkOdyssey.com  MSC (Master/Slave Conference) - http://www.masterslaveconference.org/ Council of Elders - http://www.leatherati.com/leatherati_issues/2012/01/a-guest-editorial-review-by-guy-baldwinofthe-leathermans-protocol-handbooka-handbook-on-old-guard-rituals-traditio.html   Lee Harrington contact information: http://www.PassionAndSoul.com http://www.FetLife.com/passionandsoul

Whenever possible, have her kneel before you and ask to accompany you upon the furniture. Have her get your daily wardrobe ready for you the night before. Have her keep a diary of her journey into submission. And even  Reward her by giving her delicious pleasure. And many others! 

In this month’s short podcast, Lee has finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey and is truly angry.  Not about the bodice ripping, the tawdry plot line, or the unbelievable characters.

How do you balance “new relationship energy” with the existing relationship?  What should I be ready for as a first timer at an event?  When do you bring up the fact that you are kinky when meeting someone new?

This week, a special edition of Erotic Awakening as Dan & dawn are joined by Barak & Sheba as well as 6 more people in a roundtable discussion regarding the book “50 Shades Of Grey”. But what makes this discussion different is that everyone who joins us is actually involved in the BDSM & Kink community in real time. In other words, we’ve all done what you read in ’50 Shades’.  We discuss what E. L. James got right…and what she got wrong. How realistic this book is and if anyone really has a “red room of pain” in their home. And, is this good news for the BDSM community? Does this kind of book really help people who are seeking to find there kinky self? How much murmuring do kinksters really do?  #50shades #bdsm #kinky #kinkyforreal
