The Good *** Podcast - With Tony Manna & Chiara Motley

Good * is a podcast about kinky sex, confronting your *s and the power of letting go.

Tony and Chiara are two outsiders sifting through the corners of *** and the relief and acceptance the BDSM world brings. Each week they interview a professional Domme or someone from the BDSM community: hear stories, ask questions, and wade into important conversations--all while testing their own limits/ and confronting their assumptions about kinky sex, power- dynamics, and the patriarchy.

Our goal is to prime our audience to think about ***, power, and their personal limits with humor and pathos. We want to create space and a shared understanding for what BDSM is about and how it truly helps people. There are so many preconceptions about this world, it is time to show how complex BDSM and kink really are and how diverse the people are who inhabit it.

Unveiling Desires: Journeys into the BDSM Community – Season 1 Reflections and Revelations

Season 1 began as an exploration of what is means to be a part of the BDSM community. Knowing virtually nothing about the community we sought out as diverse a group of people as possible, hoping to get some answers to common questions and also hear stories of ***, pleasure, and what sessions look like. The season started with a “Domme 101” session from Lady Vi (she is the head of the Church of Satanatrix). After that Tony and Chiara spoke with other dommes (Lola Jean, Mistress Margaux, Katherine Control, Domina Death and Mistress Ruby). These interviews addressed quirting, domme training, hypnosis, the intimate relationship between domme and sub as well as explore how each of these women first discovered they were kinky and what led them to this profession. Dr Carol Queen (staff sexologist for Good Vibrations) gave Tony and Chiara a history of sex toys. Dr. Emma Sheppard spoke about *** as an emotional experience—what it means to suffer from chronic *** and how kink can help. At the end of Season 1 Tony and Chiara were blown away by the humor, generosity, and kindness of everyone they interviewed. It was clear there was so much more to explore.
