Misconceptions

On this episode we dive in to the topic of sadism with special guest Will Hunt; Will has been part of the UK kink scene for almost two decades; running events, teaching workshops and performing at various clubs and it was great to sit with him and gain his perspective and listen to his experiences. We then return to our staple section of the 'encyclopedia of unusual sexual practices', which as ever is an odd mix of informative, entertaining and darn right confusing. Before bringing you a new section where Hands reads from a book documenting the exploits of a London based top. Is it fact, is it fiction, one thing we do know is that it's a little 'out there' but we hope you enjoy it. If you would like to know more about Will he is currently working on his first book about D/s dynamics and has a number of upcoming workshops. You can learn more about him, keep tabs on his book release and his upcoming workshops at: https://fetlife.com/users/2976273and follow him on https://www.instagram.com/williambenhunter/ His writing is available at https://www.kinkweekly.com/author/will-hunt/

On this episode of Varying Degrees we are joined by guest Growly to talk about all things rope.  Growly is a UK based rope educator who in addition to supporting his local scene has been lucky enough to travel and teach, as well as adapting his educational offering to an online platform during the pandemic. From his personal journey through to demystifying jargon and the origins of Shibari, this episode is a great introduction to rope bondage and a real 'must listen' for those that may be considering exploring it for the first time.
