Welcome to the first episode of BS'ing with Barak & Sheba, talking about kink and taking your questions on the Erotic Awakening Podcast!  They share questions and answers on: How are monogamous couples that play with others accepted in the community? Can you help me understand the difference between top, dom, dominant, dominator? As a new sub, should I find an experienced Dom or a new one?  Where can I meet new people in the scene? And more!  You can find out more about Barak & Sheba at http://www.eroticawakening.com/podcast/barak-and-sheba/ And send in your questions! 

Different sort of episode this week. We do an audio review of a rug beater (I snuck in a recorder while using it on dawn and play just under 2 minutes of our scene). Plus our listener feedback leads us into a quick discussion of what is Right and what is Wrong.  And we wonder - is dawn being flirted with when people send her pictures of squid?

This week, Dan and dawn get so involved in the Question of the Day it becomes the show topic - a classic case of hijacking your own show! D&d explore the idea of sending your submissive off to training with someone else - be it a training place, a group or an individual. They explore the pros and cons of this for single submissives, slaves that are already in relationships, and people new to the lifestyle. This leads to an exploration of what Masters prefer (do we want to train you ourselves or do we prefer pre-training of some sort?). As well as a bunch of related discussion.  We also talk about our upcoming half day intensive, going live and broadcasting, and a furry based card game we are trying to learn!  Read the EA blog at http://www.eroticawakening.com Join the EA Facebook page by searching for EroticAwakening (all one word) Visit the EA discussion group in Fetlife by searching for Erotic Awakening Give us a call and leave us a voicemail at 206-309-0054
