Re-connecting to Rope

This episode starts with some information about a fundraiser for MetroVancouverKink, ( https://ca.gofundme.com/legal-costs-for-mvk ) but then gets really personal: “Adaptive Rope.” That’s the term Lisa (Tame Lioness) and her partner T call what they do. He is living with cancer, and it has changed how they do rope - but not what it does for them and their relationship. She talks open and raw about how they have survived twenty-eight years, cancer, and still keep it hot.

Talking about SESTA/FOSTA & the Future of Kink

The longest-running kinky sex podcaster on the web! Graydancer started in 2005 with "the Ropecast" focusing on shibari, kinbaku, and fetish performance and art. Now he's expanding to "Kink, Sex, and Culture": consent issues, gender dynamics, power exchange, and all the myriad wonder of human sexuality.  Alternative Relationships, Sexuality, Fetish, Performance, Rope bondage, Kink, BDSM,  and more! There will be a steady stream of guest appearances by popular sexual performers, activists, and educators from around the globe.With a friendly, conversational style and the occasional bad pun Graydancer's Podcast is a great way to engage in talking about adult sex education and the political and social climate surrounding consenting adults doing what they like to do.

I&#39;ve been listening to this podcast for ten years now.  Graydancer is a warm and entertaining sex-positive host with a wealth of knowledge on numerous topics and the uncanny ability to find the most interesting and useful kinky folks out there to interview.  My personal favorite recent highlights are the Moonlight Shadow interviews (5/31/2016 and 6/8/2016), but it&#39;s hard to choose.  In Graydancer&#39;s archives are the voices of marginalized folks we rarely hear from, scene stars before they made it big, and friends many of us dearly miss.  I highly recommend this!

A Decade of Kink

Graydancer and his guests never fail to get me thinking and laughing. From consent culture to kink community history, there&#39;s so much here you NEED to listen to!

Entertaining & thought provoking

During the month of April, Graydancer wrote almost every day with a letter of the alphabet as the theme as part of the A to Z Blog Challenge. Poetic decided it would be a good idea to read each entry. The result is this epic podcast (One Hour Thirty-Six Minutes!) of sexy brains and mellifluous voices coming together. Well, not always. But occasionally. If you'd like the pics that go with each entry, visit the April 2013 archive at Graydancer.com and check 'em out. Poetic also has an awesome blog which is well worth reading. As usual, thanks go to the Devils Mask Society for sponsoring this podcast, as well as to individual donations from listeners like you!

Graydancer's A-to-Z Blog Challenge, as read by Poetic Desires

My podcast and blog post got some responses, which I share here. I'm especially appreciative of M from Pittsburgh and Satanasov who shared personal experiences about the DKE. That's the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and it basically means you ain't as good as you think you are. How do other egotistical occupations like airplane pilots and surgeons deal with it? One method is checklists, and that's what Gray talks about in this episode. Today's episode brought to you by Bastard Ropes, Karma Rope, and the generous donation of sponsors like DrExROPE!

The Hidden Side of Rope

The @BedRaptor herself rejoins the Ropecast to talk about her recent FetLife post about negotiating consent better for fetish performers. It's a complex and controversial subject that has spawned a new fetlife group as well as a search for better resources - including things like The Network/LA Red, who trains people in dealing with the difference between abuse and BDSM.  Tifereth is out for real change, and her call to arms is inspiring! Give a listen and then give your own feedback in the comments, emailing Gray, or via the Ropecast Hotline at 608-432-ROPE.  Like most Ropecasts, this one is brought to you by the good ropemakers and distributors at BastardRopes.com and KarmaRope.com. Stop by their sites, buy their rope, or at least thank them for helping to support the Ropecast. NEWS FLASH: You know how Gray keeps harping on Patreon, wanting to get to the $500 pledge level so he can go to a weekly show? He's tired of waiting, and is just going to go to a weekly production schedule anyway! If you benefit from the podcast, you can let him know with a pledge like BlackWolf did ($20! That's a month of hosting!) or even just $1. Either way, you get the satisfaction of knowing you support the longest-running kinky podcast on the web and that you get the goodies (like sketchnotes &amp; kinky pics) that come with Ropecast Patronage.

Mark Michaels

Patricia Johnson

The award-winning authors and energetic sex experts Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson were making their pilgrimage to the Bondage Capital of the World, Madison, WI and Graydancer was able to snag some of their time for an interview.  While Gray was skeptical at first, Mark and Patricia were clear-spoken, humorous, and down-to-earth with practical explanations of how tantric concepts can relate to kink. Listen and see if you agree: there are definite connections and things to learn from these Partners in Passion!   Note: the URL mentioned in the podcast is not correct. Patricia and Mark can be found at http://www.michaelsandjohnson.com/.
