Sips & Smacks - Ep 139: Accepting Yourself w/ Neil

Send us some fan mail! (but we can't reply :( )And we're back after a missing episode! (So sorry!) This week, we asked our Smack Pack what they wish they could tell their partner about all things spanking, domestic discipline, bottom or top dynamics, etc. Join us as we parse through the excellent examples put forth by others in the community just like you! Episode References: Spencer Spanking PlanPatreon Good Girls & Boys & Everyone in between! - Adalia's Daddy- Alanah- Andy- Ann- Anne- Annie- Autumn- Avi- Axel- Bacon- Ben- Ben- BerkeleyGirl- Carolyn- Carolina- CatNamedEaster - Carrie- Charley- Chloe- Cool Pseudonym- DD Lifestyle- Dells- Diane- DME- Elliot- Elsa- Em- Eva- EvitaChiquita- Icse- Jack A- Jared- John- Jonathon- js4n6- JustPlainPhil- K- Katie- Justin- Lauren- Lena- Mako- Mama Cat- Margot- Mary- Melissa- Michael- Mija- Nathan- Noah- Oh-tee-kay- Scott- Sir Galahad- Stephen- Sylvia- TodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/sipsandsmacksTumblr: @adaliak@rexismycopilotEmail:[email protected]:@sipsandsmacksWebsite:https://www.sipsandsmacks.comIntro and outro music is "Badly Behaved" and licensed through Premium Beat

Send us some fan mail! (but we can't reply :( )Going to your first munch is weirdly scary... until you realize everyone there is just as nervous as you are!A munch is a casual way to meet your people in real life. You can go by a scene name, bring a partner, or just listen at first. No pressure to play, overshare, or know anyone beforehand.Introverted, neurodivergent, or just not a fan of walking into a room full of strangers? You’re not alone. Ask the organizer what to expect, stay as long as you’re comfortable, and leave when you need to.The people who seem intimidating at first are usually just regular humans trying not to be awkward too!Patreon Good Girls & Boys & Everyone in between! - Adalia's Daddy- Alanah- Andy- Ann- Anne- Annie- Autumn- Avi- Axel- Bacon- Ben- Ben- BerkeleyGirl- Carolyn- Carolina- CatNamedEaster - Carrie- Charley- Chloe- Cool Pseudonym- DD Lifestyle- Dells- Diane- DME- Elliot- Elsa- Em- Eva- EvitaChiquita- Icse- Jack A- Jared- John- Jonathon- js4n6- JustPlainPhil- K- Katie- Justin- Lauren- Lena- Mako- Mama Cat- Margot- Mary- Melissa- Michael- Mija- Nathan- Noah- Oh-tee-kay- Scott- Sir Galahad- Stephen- Sylvia- TodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/sipsandsmacksTumblr: @adaliak@rexismycopilotEmail:[email protected]:@sipsandsmacksWebsite:https://www.sipsandsmacks.comIntro and outro music is "Badly Behaved" and licensed through Premium Beat

Send us some fan mail! (but we can't reply :( )Ariel Anderssen joins us this episode for a conversation about kink, identity, and finding a place to belong. Ariel, a BDSM model and author of Playing to Lose and Dirty, shares how she discovered her interests, found community, and built a life around a part of herself she once thought she had to keep secret.We also explore why trauma does not define someone’s sexuality, the complicated path from a fundamentalist religious upbringing to self-acceptance, and how Ariel and her husband navigated consensual non-monogamy through difficult conversations, guilt, and jealousy. Ariel's Pluggables: XWebsitePre-order DirtyPatreon Good Girls & Boys & Everyone in between! - Adalia's Daddy- Alanah- Andy- Ann- Anne- Annie- Autumn- Avi- Axel- Bacon- Ben- Ben- BerkeleyGirl- Carolyn- Carolina- CatNamedEaster - Carrie- Charley- Chloe- Cool Pseudonym- DD Lifestyle- Dells- Diane- DME- Elliot- Elsa- Em- Eva- EvitaChiquita- Icse- Jack A- Jared- John- Jonathon- js4n6- JustPlainPhil- K- Katie- Justin- Lauren- Lena- Mako- Mama Cat- Margot- Mary- Melissa- Michael- Mija- Nathan- Noah- Oh-tee-kay- Scott- Sir Galahad- Stephen- Sylvia- TodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/sipsandsmacksTumblr: @adaliak@rexismycopilotEmail:[email protected]:@sipsandsmacksWebsite:https://www.sipsandsmacks.comIntro and outro music is "Badly Behaved" and licensed through Premium Beat

Send us some fan mail! (but we can't reply :( )What do you wish you’d known when you first realized this part of yourself? We asked our Smack Pack and the biggest themes that kept coming up were:You need the right words before you can explain what you want.Community makes the whole thing less scary.Not every vanilla partner will get it, and that’s not a failure.A lot of what we think is “weird” is actually just unspoken.So many of us spent years thinking we were alone when really we just needed language, patience, and people who didn’t make us feel broken. Remember that if you’re still figuring it out, you’re not behind or failing! There's still so much to learn about ourselves. Episode References: Please Discipline Me: Persuading Your Partner (Blogspot)Patreon Good Girls & Boys & Everyone in between! - Adalia's Daddy- Alanah- Andy- Ann- Anne- Annie- Autumn- Avi- Axel- Bacon- Ben- Ben- BerkeleyGirl- Carolyn- Carolina- CatNamedEaster - Carrie- Charley- Chloe- Cool Pseudonym- DD Lifestyle- Dells- Diane- DME- Elliot- Elsa- Em- Eva- EvitaChiquita- Icse- Jack A- Jared- John- Jonathon- js4n6- JustPlainPhil- K- Katie- Justin- Lauren- Lena- Mako- Mama Cat- Margot- Mary- Melissa- Michael- Mija- Nathan- Noah- Oh-tee-kay- Scott- Sir Galahad- Stephen- Sylvia- TodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/sipsandsmacksTumblr: @adaliak@rexismycopilotEmail:[email protected]:@sipsandsmacksWebsite:https://www.sipsandsmacks.comIntro and outro music is "Badly Behaved" and licensed through Premium Beat
