This week, we are launching a new project that is part of the KinkQuest community – Cooperative Foreplay, a new home for podcast episodes that are specifically focused on reviewing ero-games (adult video games) and playing them together! Don’t miss it!

This is a long episode! We recorded all of our thoughts and stories from attending KinkFest in Portland, Oregon, so whether you are wondering what it’s like to go to a Kink Convention or wondering whether KinkFest is like the events you have been to, the answers are all here! Don’t miss it!

This week, we’re talking about how we came to our complicated relationship status and how it fits into the community around us.

This week, we’re talking about submission styles and the way that sometimes people with different ideas about what submission means can clash in the community. We talk about: • Finding the right words (or not!) to describe your dynamic • Compliant submission and bratting and how they are similar and different • The challenge of looking for connection in a space where talking about your dynamic feels out of place • A Very D/s episode of Star Trek starring Famke Jansson Don’t miss it!

This week we are back after way too long away and catching anyone still listening up on where we have been and where we are going next! We talk about: • Planning play parties and building in-person community • The need for ‘middle space’ in the kink community • Our upcoming trip to Kinkfest • Our fancy new spanking bench! (Check out Tom’s shop at www.fetishfurniture.org) It’s really nice to be back to podcasting again!

This week, we’re getting creative in the kitchen, making home-made whipped lube! The recipe is still a work in progress, but here is what we are working with right now: 10 oz Shea Butter 10 oz Palm Oil 10 oz Coconut Oil 5 oz Olive Oil 5 oz Sweet Almond Oil About 1 oz Aloe Vera 1 tsp Vitamin E 1 tsp Soy Lechitin 3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 12 drops Neroli essential oil And, of course, if you are not in the mood for kitchen shenanigans, and just want to short-cut straight to buying the best lube that money can buy, please head over to The Butters website! (We have no incentive to link here, other than that we love the product with all our kinky little hearts!)

We have been trying to play Sinclair Sexsmith’s Protocol Game for years now, and have just started to really make it work for us lately. In this episode, we talk about some of the experiments that went well, others that went… less well, and what it all means to us! If you are interested in learning more about this awesome activity, you can read all about it here and you can buy your own set of Protocol Game cards here. (No incentive for us to link to this stuff, other than wanting to see lots of people have as much fun with it as we have been!)

We’re back! After a long stretch of not recording, we are recording again and looking to make some much-needed updates to the community! This week, we’re talking about our new D/s dynamic, how we got here, how it’s working, and what’s next for KinkQuest!

This week, we are talking about a subject that has a really broad array of meanings to people in the kink world – collaring! We talk a little about what it means to us, and the different meanings that different collars have had in our dynamic over time. In this episode, we talked about an amazing leather shop that we discovered entirely by coincidence by living directly behind it, but couldn’t remember the name of the shop. That shop is Northbound Leather, and to judge by the reviews on Yelp, is still an amazing place to get high quality leather gear and clothing. Finally, we talked a little about the Discord in this episode. We are really working to build a great online community of like-minded people, so if you would like to be part of the Discord and have fun, in-depth conversations about kink with us, get in touch through the site at KinkQuest.org, on Twitter @KinkQuest_Org or via e-mail [email protected] and we will set you up with an invite. One day, when we get the community really running, it may be part of the ‘Support KinkQuest’ rewards to join, but for now it’s completely free! Come help us build something cool!

This week, we celebrated our tenth episode by visiting one of Soren’s favorite places, Anal Islet. We talk about our adventures with Anal this week, but also about processing the aftereffects when things don’t quite go the way we planned! For this week’s Quest, we tried using different favorite toys vaginally during anal sex. Here are the four toys that we experimented with:
