With April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month we wanted to highlight something we see within the community way too often which is fake Dom’s. A fake Dom is a person who claims to be a Dominant when in reality they have no clue what they are doing, have little regard for the sub, instead believing a dom/sub relationship is solely for their benefit and they can make the sub do whatever they want. Let us know if you have dealt with or heard any stories about fake Dom’s. Also, for awareness: National Sexual Assault Hotline Hours: Available 24 hours 1-800-656-4673

Well, here we are. What you have all been waiting for, the kinks! In this episode we explore the periodic table of kinks. We will visit this table often to cover all the element that folks  enjoy, sharing with you our favorites and hoping you share your thoughts  as well. Let us know in the comments what you think of the elements we shared in this episode.

In this episode we cover dating and begin talking about different kinks. Dating as a kinky person can be tricky. Determining how and when to introduce kink and how to handle if your partner is more or less kinky than your are. We talk about this as well as dating and sex work, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy and cheating. We also begin talking about some of the different kinks out there. Much more to come in this area. How do you introduce kink in your relationships? Tell us about it in the comments.

In this episode we cover two essential elements of kink: negotiation and aftercare. Every kink scene begins with a negotiation of the scene itself. From what toys to use to what’s off-limits, all things should be discussed and made clear prior to the scene beginning. Don’t make it a quick conversation. Make sure all term are clear and agreed upon. Besides consent, and negotiating a scene, aftercare is a core element of kink play. It is essential that you know what your partner needs immediately after a scene. Rather it’s a cold drink, a bubble bath or just a moment of conversation, be prepared to do what is necessary to provide the needed aftercare your partner needs. Tell us about your aftercare needs in the comments.

In episode two, we talk about the many roles and titles found in the kink culture. As each person may have a different definition of what a role or title means to them and the fact that new titles are created every day, there is no way we could come close to discussing all that exists. With that said, we attempt to focus on three: dominant, submissive and a switch. What role or title do you give yourself? Have you ever considered playing a different role? Let us know in the comments.

Episode one started as an unnamed podcast. We introduced ourselves to you AND each other! As you will hear in the show, we are in fact, two strangers. After four years of passing each other in a park and through the randomness of the social media algorithms thinking we should be friends, there was finally an opportunity for us to meet. After a couple of weeks of back and forth in chat messages and this podcast was born. Our first episode was our first in-person meeting! If you’re wondering how two strangers can talk openly about kink, listen on, and find out. Our goal is to make kink less taboo and to remove the shame and stigma associated with a kink in the black and brown community. What better way than two strangers having open honest conversations. We touch on a few topics such as consent, body image, dating (more to come here) that are all essential to relationships in general and especially kinky relationships. We also explore the question, are you kinky or are you curious?  At the end of the episode, we juggle a few names, and based on the dialog, Shades of Kink was born. Continue to listen as we educate you and ourselves of the various kinks out there.
