Summary

A woman and her boyfriend, (in an open relationship) tried shibari and enjoyed the intimacy of it. She suggested they exclusively practice shibari with each other, unlike all the other sexual activities they do with their other lovers. At first he agreed, but now he's balking. Should she try to make this a rule of their relationship, or cut him free to t ie up other women? Can semen be safely employed as a sexual lubricant? Our guest this week is a true delight. From Season 12 of Ru Paul's Drag Race, it's the Persian Princess of Drag- Jackie Cox! She and Dan talk about getting in the drag head space, being friends with your partner, and did you know that the queens from Drag race have a group chat? They do! A little is on the Micro, and the whole thing is on the Magnum. And, a straight woman loves to process and have drawn out heart-to-heart talks about her relationships with her boyfriends to the point where they are exhausted and can't take it anymore. She is single now and wonders how to make it clear in her profile that she wants a man who can go hard on communication. [email protected] 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.
