Adult content creator Kaiden Bailey brought his big bag of thoughts! He's not a fan of how black men are portrayed in the adult content world, particularly how "BBC" content is marketed and how it perpetuates stereotypes about black men with non-black women. He dives into the nuances of how this kind of content could be shot and/or marketed to further progress past stereotypes while also maintaining the quality of the content. Kaiden also unpacks the differences of dating someone within the adult entertainment world vs outside of it, his views on adult conventions, and how he sees "the industry's" treatment of trans performers. On a more personal note, Kaiden met up with a couple on a dating app and the husband in the couple had a very interesting proposition for Kaiden.

"Coming Out" can mean more than coming out as queer. In Ep. 18 we explore what it means to come out as polyamorous, pansexual, a pornstar, a sex worker, and HSV (Herpes) positive. This week we feature writer/model/content creator Cassie Black and producer/director/actor Emily Battles whom share a baseline for what it means to perform in front of and behind a camera. Each situation is nuanced and comes with a different set of privileges, and each one has an individual experience. Battles discusses coming out as non-monogamous and bisexual in an Irish Catholic upbringing, yet Cassie Black, a sex worker, doesn't identify as monogamous. We discuss our given family vs our "chosen" family, the kinds of questions our friends ask us, and advice we'd give to our younger selves. Cassie Black also expands on her work with "Safe Slut" that focuses on destigmatizing herpes and opening up a dialogue about safe, slutty, and responsible sex. Happy Pride Month!

You asked for a play party episode and here it is! JJ works for NYC's largest play party, as well as running his own private events & freelances for other parties throughout New York. JJ's tips include how to function as both a guest and a host at a play party. Although the party he works for often draws in cis gendered couples, his advice is perfect for newbies as well as the veteran party goer because JJ's sober lifestyle proves that you can meet new people, express your personality, give/receive consent, and get some action without the need or pressure of getting trashed. JJ's focus at parties is as an icebreaker host: setting up games and wingman-ing people early in the evening before play commences, and he brought an example of a game that Chelsea & Matt play in this episode. For more about JJ check out his podcast "Sexie Show" where he plays games with models, creators, and other people in the play community. @sexieshow on Instagram, X, FetLife, and look for his full podcast on your favorite podcast platform.

In part III of our sit-down with dating and relationship coach Steve Dean, we unpack all things non-monogamy. A lot of the tools used in exploring non-monogamy can be used in monogamous relationships as well. Love languages usually evolve, and sometimes new love languages can be experienced through ethical non-monogamy. Steve goes over how to make the initial steps and stresses the benefits of running through hypotheticals, including going as far as having a "practice threesome" with a willing third participant and then re-evaluating his thoughts and feelings with his partner. Lastly, Steve reviews how to recognize bad actors and how to be confident in making certain decisions upon entering into a non-monogamous relationship.
