In this episode, we unpack how role play can serve as both embodiment and experimentation: an opportunity to test boundaries, try on new energies, and rewrite old stories about who we allow ourselves to be. Role play invites us to step beyond our everyday selves and explore power, fantasy, and identity with intention. Here we explore how imagination, consent, and curiosity can transform play into a practice of self-discovery and freedom. What’s Inside: -Defining role play as a tool for exploration and self-expression -How fantasy and imagination support healing and empowerment -The difference between being looked at and being truly witnessed -How embodiment transforms performance into authenticity and liberation -The journey of returning to self after performing desirability Guest: Sydni Deveraux is a burlesque performer, educator, and producer whose work explores sensuality, storytelling, and power through movement and performance.

In this episode, we explore how touch, temperature, rhythm, and sound can build deeper intimacy and presence. We also unpack beforecare and aftercare as essential forms of emotional architecture: ways to prepare, connect, and return safely. Rooted in ancestral wisdom, this episode reminds us that the senses are portals for both pleasure and healing. What’s Inside: -What sensation play really is and how it supports embodied presence -How ancestral traditions use the senses as tools for energy and awareness -The elements of sensation: earth (grounding), fire (heat), water (flow), and air (tease) -Building safer scenes through beforecare, mid-care, and aftercare -Scene design for Black queer dommes Guest: Janine James: Modern Mystic, Cosmically Queer Love Witch, Polyamorist, and Word Savant.

In this episode, we explore the edges of anticipation, control, and surrender, and how they can shift from dominance to care.

Dominance and submission are core components of many kink and BDSM dynamics. At their heart, these roles are about power: how it’s exchanged, embodied, and explored. In this episode, we break down myths about power, share lessons from professional domme work, and explore how power play can be both liberating and deeply affirming, and can be experienced through community. What’s Inside: -What dominance and submission really mean -Lessons from professional domme work and centering Black pleasure -Expanding intimacy roles beyond stereotypes and gender norms -Exploring the divine feminine as an embodied practice -Stripper energy as a communal practice of embodying your power Guest: Zahra — dancer, educator, and founder of Queer Fem Parties, a Black-owned, queer BIPOC performance company centering sex workers, authentic sexuality, and embodied art.

From threesomes, to cuddle puddles, to full-on orgies, group play exists on a spectrum of connection and desire. And the question that almost always comes up is: “But how do you stay safe?” In this episode, we explore STI protocols not as fear-based prevention, but as rituals of care that make intimacy deeper, hotter, and freer. We talk about testing rhythms, window periods, and sharing results as practices that build trust and expand pleasure. What’s Inside: -What group play looks like across the spectrum -How queer and trans communities have shaped group and play spaces as sites of affirmation and liberation -STI protocols as frameworks of clarity and care -What to know about comprehensive testing and window periods -Sexy, simple questions to ask partners about sexual health and safety Guest: Dr. Franco Chevalier, works for the San Francisco Department of Public Health and currently serves as the deputy medical director for San Francisco City Clinic.

Impact play holds a spectrum of possibility, from playful taps that spark laughter to deep strikes that bring release. In this episode, we explore how impact is not about punishment but about sensation, catharsis, and trust.
