00-3:50 Introduction. updates
Introduction, under-18 warning and redirection to Scarleteen.com. Graydancer co-hosts as we are both
silly and sleep-deprived after rushing back early from Ohio Leather
Fest to attend to Genevieve in the hospital. Yes, she seems to be
OK, although the doctors still don't know what brought on her
attacks of tachycardia. And Graydancer tells of how a charge nurse
jolted him from OLF head space into St. Anthony's hospital real
space.
3:50 OLF recap: Dossie Easton's Emotional
Journeying
OLF recap--Graydancer reviews Dossie Easton's seminar on Emotional
Journeying. The Ethical
Slut and Radical Ecstasy are
mentioned, along with Jung and childhood issues.
6:45-13:00 OLF: Michelle Belanger's The Body
Electric
We both discuss Michelle Belanger's amazing
"The Body Electric" energy work seminar, in which
graydancer experienced energy exchange as a dom,
and minx was in the "splash zone," so her yoni got some energy
action as well! And yes, she agreed to an interview, so stay tuned
for a fascinating interview with this psychic vampire.
13:00-20:10 OLF: Janet Hardy's workshop review
First, her books: The Ethical Slut, Radical Ecstasy, The New
Topping Book, The New Bottoming Book, and Kinkycrafts. Did we
mention she's also the founder of The
Greenery Press? Go buy these books there! Our seminar
experience, with three-way energy flow, head space, green alien
energy glow, and some radical ecstasy of our own.
20:10 Graydancer talks about how to become a better
kinkster
21:00-28:05 Community clashes
We discuss Rick Mansfield's keynote address and listener mail: why
can't the alternative communities just get along and pull
together?
28:05-35:00 Listener mail: poly vs swinging
What is polysexual? Are our labels bringing us down and confusing
us? Is it the in-betweeners of the poly and swinger communities
that are giving both a bad name?
35:00-36:30 Listener mail: Sambear writes in to stroke the
minx
36:30-43:15 Listener mail: Relationship roles
Vannevar Morgan writes in about choosing the roles in your
relationship and a plea to hear more about how to argue through
relationship-threatening issues; Graydancer and minx disagree about
god vs. culture.
43:15-45:00 Listener mail: argument advice
Friendly neighborhood swingers write in again about using "I love
you, but I don't like you very much right now" as a way to argue
without fearing the loss of the relationship.
45:00- Weird shit: Secret Lover cards
The collection is a Secret Lover. Graydancer reads "So in Love" and minx
reads "Goodbye." We recommend Kinky
Cards if you're into BDSM or Naughty Cards.
50:45-end Plugs galore!
Upcoming interview with Michelle Belanger, Dossie Easton and Janet
Hardy. Graydancer plugs his show, Rope Weekly, which he'll be promoting at
the Open Heart, Open Mind conference in San
Francisco in September.

stuff!
