262 - Education Squared: a conversation about kink education, gender, and authority transfer

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week’s episode starts off with a conversation between Dick and Lexi about their recent loss of a close friend. Also, Gwen opens up about her recent epilepsy diagnosis, which she wanted to put out before this episode, as it caused some hiccups with the recording. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our guest this week is Devyn Stone, who talks with us about his non-traditional Radioactive Spider Bite into Kink, which included being in a D/s dynamic in high school. We also discussed authority transfer versus power exchange, becoming a kink educator, and the intersection of kink and gender through the lens of his experience as a trans man who presents traditionally femme. </span></p> <p><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5AnKE8kNYCt4Ixn6GrfiCz?si=f726a9a663154898"> <strong>Here's a link to the tribute playlist for our friend James that was referenced in this week's episode.</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thanks for listening!
