Episode 271: ‘High Voltage!’ (Blythe Baldwin)

Bawdy Storytelling

What would compel a kinkster to become electrified in the bedroom (and Is vaginal lubricant conductive)? Queer Poet & Storyteller Blythe Baldwin loves Electrical Play, although Violet Wands are way out of her budget. But when her girlfriend demands some ‘really serious nipple clamps’, Blythe stumbles across a more affordable e-stim device online. Soon Blythe and her girlfriend are shocked and surprised, and their new toy delivers the warm champagne tingles and knifelike zaps of their dreams. Taco already! Plus an embarrassed Dixie learns something new about in-person events and makes an emergency trip to the Fire Department - and the sexy firemen there teach her a thing or two about lube and a tiny, tiny cousin to the Jaws of Life. #CradleIt #Safeword #AppleProductFromHell

What is Substack?

Substack is an email newsletter platform (made up of text, audio, video, etc) known for its hands off approach to censorship. While there are still some publishing guidelines (no porn, hate speech or harassment, for example), the platform’s lack of gatekeeping has attracted both ground-breaking journalists and some seriously controversial writers”. https://blog.hootsuite.com/what-is-substack/

(My Substack launch has been delayed by my life’s latest calamity, but it’ll start soon)
