  • A word of gratitude!

    I want to take time just to sit here and think Dan and Dawn for all the information and assistance in my own personal relationships. Sometimes I feel as though I live vicariously through you guys because I want the peace in your polyamorous relationship. Thank you so much for your stories and experiences. I hope you keep doing what you’re doing.

  • Interesting idea for a podcast, but when interviewing certain people there's really bad echo and it makes the podcast borderline unlistenable.

  • Wonderful Podcast.

    I am glad I’ve found this podcast. I love the segments with Dan and Dawn and adore BSing with Barak and Sheba. I’m still only in 2013.. going through all of the old episodes in order until I reach the present where new episodes are still being made!! I can’t wait to hear it all and thank you for putting it all out there for us. 🐙(they need a food on boobs emoji)

  • Incredible PE podcast

    Dan and Dawn are the real deal. They speak from experience on many topics, and bring in great guests. I have had the pleasure of hearing them present at conferences, and appreciate their passion for education. This is what Leather is at its heart.

  • When is this abuse

    Power verses abuse

    This seems very abusing

    But maybe that what excites you

    Tragic emotional underdevelopment see a analyst or maybe you to scared to show how damaging your relationship with your partners is too much for you

EA759 - Risk Aware Needle Play w/Ember Solaris & Primal Arts Fest Review
Q: Why is Ember on the show to discuss needle play and safety?
Because Ember brings deep, practical knowledge from running educational platforms and organizing kink events, and can speak to risk awareness, infection control, and how to approach needles in a safety-conscious way.
EA752 - Consent w Sir Panda, Flagging/Hanky Code and Naughty Revival Feedback
Q: Can you tell us what Fries means and why it matters in our community?
Fries means freely given consent with specific boundaries, avoiding pressure or coercion, ensuring a reversible and informed agreement, and confirming enthusiastic participation for what is being done.
EA751 - BDSM & Attachment Styles w/Sir Panda, Erotic Energy and Intrigue
Q: Great. So BDSM and Attachment Styles. I'm sure some people have heard of that. I have not. So I'm kind of curious how you got that to blend together or make your interest.
Sir Panda explains how attachment styles can influence BDSM roles, with emphasis on how secure attachment often correlates with healthier dynamics in dominance, submission, and switching. He also discusses how research supports variations in attachment across BDSM roles and how therapy and self-reflection can help individuals become more secure.
