In this episode MisKnickers is joined by resident Our Kink button-pusher Loke, to discuss an incredible innovation in kink safety. We speak with special guest Elle, who is part of team developing a new app called No Grey. In what is more than likely a world first, No Grey aims to enhance the way we negotiate, and gives users the opportunity to lay out the framework and boundaries of each scene negotiation for all participants with ease. We were really excited to learn more about No Grey, and Elle talked us through its features, as well as giving us some examples of how the app can be used, from sharing broad interests to begin a discussion to negotiating specifics of a scene, indicating our experience levels with different tools and types of play, through setting limits and goals to ensure participants understand their roles and responsibilities thoroughly. We also delved into some background to understand better how the idea came about, why Elle thinks you should try the app, and what you can expect in terms of ease of use, accessibility, and security of the app. Curious? So were we! Have a listen, and visit nogrey.club/ to learn more, and to download the app!

This week we returned to one of our favourite haunts to spend some time with one of our favourite sponsors, the inimitable Wayne from Lucrezia & De Sade. Wayne is never short of a story or twelve and he doesn’t disappoint in this podcast, taking us on a winding, non-linear journey through the history of L&D, including a time when he had never dreamed of retailing kink and leather goods, and how all that changed in one night, thanks to a certain pop sensation. Interest piqued? There’s more … latex nuns and reasonable men, a purple dungeon, duelling policemen, and some lessons on how to combat bureaucracy from left of centre. Oh, and there’s the sex, religion, and politics. Just listen. You may regret it if you don’t.

We visited Counsellor, Sex Therapist, Educator, Author, Workshop Facilitator, and wearer of one thousand hats, Jeremy Shub. We could have talked with Jeremy for days about every topic under the Sun, but specifically we wanted to ask about his upcoming Queer Flirting workshop. Starting with the basics of what actually constitutes flirting, how it differs between people and cultures, and moving to the unique challenges for Queer identifying people, how the principles of consent impact our flirting, navigating the vast range of different attractions and desires and more, including Jeremy’s upcoming book, Sex Positive Now. Learn more about Jeremy, his work, and his services here. Check out the Queer Flirting workshop here.
