Graydancer welcomes the Cunning Minx and Mollena Williams to the show to talk from a single submissive's perspective on what it's like to be in a mostly poly-BDSM world. Part one of two, this interview raises some fascinating points of etiquette and scene behavior that should be food for thought for tops, bottoms, switches, and many other species in the kink jungle.

Graydancer began making bondage videos many years ago - some would say before he really should have, considering the way the rope is handled in this "tutorial." Looking at it now, in its digitally remastered and augmented glory, it is a quaint part of the Ropecast history (nÃe "Ropeweekly"). Besides, genevieve is hella hot.
So take a look at what happens when a guy with a dance degree decides to do a "breast bondage" tutorial... |

Graydancer presents part two of his interview with Claire Adams, bondage model, slave, pro-dom, and ropetrepreneur. Claire reveals what's in her rope bag, the extremes she and her owner Damon Pierce go to in private, and talks about the joys and responsibilities of being a "kink coach."
Then there's an update on the Hartford, CT GRUE that's on the way - with 71 confirmed attendees including Dov, Mataleao, Suzanne SexySadist, Murphy Blue, and all the way from Seattle, Twisted Monk himself. After that, some thoughts on playing with rope on varying body types from Graydancer, fresh from COPE and Dark Odyssey. Remember you can always call the Ropecast hotline at 608-432-ROPE!

thanks.

The JUJUN Interviews are a special series brought to you by Graydancer, host of the long-running Ropecast and author of the erotic magic thrillers NAWASHI and JUJUN.
In each interview he will be talking with people who were instrumental in the inspiration and crafting of the characters, places, and events in his novels. Polyamory, sex magic, blade play, body piercing - their experiences and expertise are vast, and these podcasts serve as a companion to the books themselves. In this first interview, Cunning Minx, the inspiration for the character of Sally, talks about the practicalities of polyamory. Minx is the creator, producer and podcaster of Polyamory Weekly and speaks nationally at various poly conventions and other places perverted people congregate. You can order your own copy of JUJUN at Graydancer's website, or listen to the podcast novel completely free at Podiobooks.com. |

This is a short promo for JUJUN running 2:00. Please feel free to play it loud, play it often, and spread the word! Remember, pre-order JUJUN and you get free shipping and a copy of the book in PDF form before the August 15th release.
In Nawashi, Brian Stanford discovered the world is filled with mages who use sexual magic to achieve their goals - whether freedom or repression. Drawn into the struggle is his wife, Bec, captured by the Mauls, soldiers of the Wrinkled Man. Bec is taken into the dark underworld of New Yorkâs sex trade, to be used as a pawn against her husband. But the Wrinkled Man has not accounted for her own strength, and even as she is drawn further into the ordeal path Bec fights her own battles against the repressors. It is a fight for her body, mind, and soul - and in the dark world of sexual magic, survival may not mean victory. |
