TSGS 019: Knottyboys - "Pretty Tied Up" - Episode 1 of 2 JD and Dan - Two Knotty Boys - have a mission: Demystify bondage, put the fun into it, while making it safer and much more aestheticly pleasing. They join Beth Crittenden in this playful interview that lays out the basics, including why one may explore bondage and how to do it safely. Rope Bondage is the most popular sexual fantasy kink out there…and why is that? One reason is that many partners get caught up in feeling like they have to reciprocate and this keeps them from fully enjoying and surrendering to the experience. When one is tied up, there is nothing to do but surrender, and there is such pleasure and healing in that experience. If you have ever been curious about rope bondage, or fantasized about being tied up, this interview will support you in pushing your edge and exploring, and what could be better than that?

TSGS 004: Charles Moser, MD, PhD: A Sexual Medical Expert on Unusual Sexual Interests In this program, Dr Moser talks to us about the nature and range of sadomasochism (SM). He discusses his background (a self-described horny teenager who went to the library a lot) and how he came to view sexuality from a scientific perspective. From there, he branches out and looks at how our sex-negative society has led to people internalize their feelings and desires the negative repercussions of that. He also discusses the types of medical questions that people bring to him (i.e. I want to do X, how do I do that safely?) According to him, there is nothing that hasn’t been eroticized. He looks at people’s sexual behaviors and the medical and emotional issues that arise from a scientific perspective. He approaches his patients from a non-judgemental point of view and acknowledges that good SM is whatever really gets people off and that it is different for each person. While keeping safety in mind, he says that a key way for people to learn about what they want in their sexual lives is through talking and experimenting. Sex is fun, enjoy it.

Have you ever wondered what's "real" about sex in the virtual world? What appeals to men so much so that it can lead to obsession, disconnection, and dishonesty at times?
