And I'm excited to see you in myother spaces.
But for now, let's get startedwith five kinks.
You gotta try this kinktober.

(03:16):
Let's dive in.
Cheers.
Kink number one, one of myfavorites, spanking and impact
play.
So what is erotic spanking?
Spanking and impact play areprobably the most recognizable
kinks because they've crossedover into the mainstream from
movies to memes.

(03:36):
At its core, spanking is theerotic use of striking, usually
with a hand, but it can extendto paddles, floggers, crops, or
anything that delivers a mix ofsting and sensation.
So what makes it kinky isn'tjust the strike itself, but the
psychological dance around it,the anticipation, the sound, the

(03:59):
contrast between pain andpleasure.
It can be playful andlighthearted, like a cheeky slap
during intimacy, or it can beritualistic and structured, part
of a DOM sub-dynamic.
Impact play taps into primalenergy, letting partners explore
intensity in a safe andconsensual way.

(04:20):
Here's how to give it a try.
Start light, always withconsent.
But cheeks and thighs are safe,fleshy zones.
Think percussion, smack, stroke,pause.
The pause is where theanticipation builds.
Mix firm swats with gentletouches so the nerves light up
in contrast.

(04:41):
Here are some do's and don'ts.
Do have conversation first.
Safe words matter.
Don't hit the lower back ortailbone.
Do add variety.
Light taps, quick swaps,surprising timing.
That's the secret ingredient toreally good spanking.

(05:04):
And here is the science thatbacks up why it's so exciting to
bring into the bedroom and worthtrying this Kinktober.
Impact Play releases adrenalineand endorphins.
That combo gives the same highmarathoners chase.
Well, only sexier because you'realso mixing in trust,
anticipation, and intimacy.

(05:26):
So here's your Kinktoberchallenge.
Give your partner five spinks,each one unique.
Maybe start with a tap, then asharper sting, then a surprise
pause, then a crusk, then anunexpected final one.
See how much theunpredictability turns them on
or off.

(05:46):
It also gives you theopportunity to explore different
impact sensations.
Partners will often prefer oneto the other.
For instance, someone mightprefer the slap of a hand
delivering a spanking.
Some might like the thud of aheavy flogger.

(06:07):
Some may like the sting ofbamboo.
There is a whole world ofsensations to explore when you
bring spanking into the bedroom.
So here are some of my toy orprop recommendations.
First of all, you're going towant to start with, well,
beginner paddles and beginnerfloggers.

(06:28):
You can find a variety over atlovehoney.com where you can also
keep the price low as youexperiment with my code
EXPLORES15, where you get 15%off.
Now, if you sign up for mynewsletters, I will be sending
you some of my picks forfloggers I've personally gotten
and used in my own explorationso that you don't waste time

(06:52):
getting floggers or paddles orother instruments that are going
to fall short of you and yourpartner's expectation.
And of course, listen.
Keep it simple.
Your hand is free, portable, andalways ready.
And frankly, it's one of myfavorite spanking instruments to

(07:12):
this day.
Nothing feels quite assatisfying as your partner's
hand, delivering both pleasureand punishment.
Kink number two that I want youto give a try this kinktober is
chastity and tease slash denial.
This is your Lochtober special.
Now, first of all, I want toremind you that I have done

(07:37):
many, many podcast interviewsand episodes on Lochtober.
I also have lots of articlesI've written, and I'm going to
be sending them all your waythis month.
So again, sign up for thosee-newsletters because those are
going to be coming up.
But also scroll down to thedescription of this episode, and
I'm going to pop some of thosein there for a quick reference.

(07:59):
But let's talk about it.
What is chastity?
What is tease and denial?
And how does that look for thisupcoming month?
Chastity is one of the oldestand most misunderstood kinks,
and Locktober has made it newlyfamous.
At its simplest, chastity isabout controlling when and how
release or the big O happens.

(08:20):
That might mean putting offclimax for hours, days, or even
longer, or physicallyrestricting it with a chastity
cage.
For penis owners, cages preventerections and release, creating
a constant state of sexualfrustration that heightens
desire.
For vulva owners, might meandenial through toys, app control

(08:43):
devices, or rules a partnerenforces.
The erotic thrill comes from thepower exchange, giving up
control of your orgasm orholding the keys to someone
else's.
What makes chastity hot isn'tjust the denial, but the
psychological tension, theteasing, and the eventual

(09:05):
explosive reward.
So here's how you can give it atry.
Level one is edging.
Bring yourself or your partnerclose, then stop.
Do this two or three timesbefore allowing yourself or them
to have the big O.
That's right.
You can play with denial andchastity with yourself.

(09:27):
You don't have to have apartner.

Let's move on to level two (09:29):
a rule-based denial.
Maybe only one person gets todecide when release happens, or
maybe you go 24 hours with nofinish.
Then we're gonna move on tolevel three: cage play.
Penis owners can wear chastitycages made of silicone, metal,

(09:49):
or plastic.
They prevent full erections,making arousal deliciously
frustrating.
Vulva owners can try app controltoys.
And I'm going to have a list ofthose toys.
And with these toys, yourpartner gets control of them
when you have them on, when yourpleasure is given, when it's

(10:10):
stopped, and when you get toenjoy the big finish.
Now, if you're not sure aboutwhere to start with chastity
cages for a penis owner, I havea full guide on how to choose
the cage, how to measure for it.
So don't worry, I've got youcovered.
Now let's go over the do's anddon'ts.

(10:32):
Do' start small.
Even a few hours of denial canfeel intense.
Don't force denial withoutagreement.
This is definitely aconsent-based kink.
And then do keep it playful.
The point is teasing, notpunishment, unless that's been
negotiated.
So here's the science behind whythis is a kink that is literally

(10:56):
booming right now.
Dopamine spikes the heart isduring anticipation, not orgasm.
That's why denial makes theeventual release feel explosive.
Chastity literally hacks thebrain's reward system.
So here's your kinktober orlocktober challenge.
Try a 24-hour chastity game.

(11:17):
That could mean edging withoutrelease, or if you're bold,
trying a cage for a day.
Journal how it changes yourdesire.
Share it with your partner.
So here are some toy and proprecommendations.
First of all, abeginner-friendly chastity cage
is the chef's kiss if you reallywant to dive in.

(11:40):
Again, I have a bunch of guidesfor finding the right one and
getting it sized.
Now, for Volva owners, again,we're going to be looking at
those app controlled couplestoys.
WeVibe has a whole bunch ofthem.
I have a code Explores15 for 15%off, but I will be sending out a

(12:01):
list of some of thesepartner-controlled toys for your
enjoyment to try if you want tothis month and hopefully beyond.
Kink number three is almost amust for a kinktober.
It is the Dom subdynamic.
Now, don't run away.

(12:21):
Don't say no way.
Hear me out.
So what is it?
Dom subdynamics are the backboneof most kinky play.
It's not about whips and chains.
It's about power exchange.
One partner takes control as thedominant, Dom, and the other
surrenders as the submissive orsub.
This can look like givingcommands, setting roles, or even

(12:44):
deciding what the other wears.
It can be soft and nurturing,think dom, giving firm but
caring orders, or it can bestrict and disciplinary.
The erratic charge comes fromstepping into roles that
exaggerate control andsurrender.
For many, being the sub isfreeing.
You don't have to makedecisions.

(13:05):
You just follow.
For others, being the Dom isempowering.
You get to lead, to guide, ororchestrate.
What makes Dom sub plays soversatile is that it can be as
subtle as saying, yes, ma'am, oryes, mistress, or yes, sir, for
an hour, or as elaborate as afull lifestyle dynamic.

(13:26):
You get to choose.
So here's how to give it a try.
For one evening, assign roles.
The Dom makes the decisionswhere to set, what to wear, when
to touch, how to touch, and thesub surrenders to the rules.
You can even play with phraseslike yes, sir, or yes, ma'am to

(13:47):
heighten the vibe.
So here are some do's anddon'ts.
Do negotiate roles andboundaries.
Everyone's got to be on board.
Don't assume your partner knowshow to play the part.
This is gonna be trial anderror.
It's gonna be some play.
It might feel awkward at times.
That's part of the fun.
Do try both roles.

(14:09):
Each offers a different thrill.
It will give you a chance tounderstand each other's
experience, and maybe you'lleach settle into your favorite
role.
Or maybe you'll find, dependingon the day, you'll want to
switch it up and keep thingsunpredictable.
So here's a science behind whythe DOM sub roles and dynamic

(14:30):
are so exciting in the bedroom.
Being the DOM floods dopamine,the reward chemical that feels
so good.
While being the sub spikesoxytocin, that bonding hormone.
That's why both roles feelcompletely intoxicating in
different ways.
So your Kinktober challenge isthis: for one hour, let one

(14:53):
partner control the pace.
The sub's only rule, say yes toeverything within your agreed
boundaries.
Here's your kinktober challenge.
For one hour, let one partnercontrol the pace.
The sub's only rule, say yes toeverything within your agreed
boundaries.
Toys and prop recommendations,pretty simple.

(15:14):
A simple blindfold or silk tiecan add that chef's kiss to the
entire experience.
You don't need to go crazy.
Again, you can level it up withspankings, your floggers, your
paddles, or your reward denialwith the couple's vibrators and

(15:36):
toys, but really I would juststart with one person being in
charge and calling the shots.
That's super sexy all on itsown.
And it's a great place to start.
Kink number four.
Erotic humiliation.
Bear with me.
Don't run away.
Don't shut me off.

(15:57):
Just hear me out.
So what is it?
Erotic humiliation is one of themost taboo kinks.
And one of the mostmisunderstood.
Listen, it's not about tearingsomeone down.
It's about using embarrassmentin playful, erotic ways.
Think of it like blushing with ablindfold on.
The vulnerability becomes a turnon.

(16:19):
Erotic humiliation might looklike begging, being teased, or
being made to say somethingembarrassing but sexy.
The arousal comes from beingexposed, but in a safe,
consensual way.
When done right, it createsintensity, intimacy, and a sense
of doing something naughtytogether.
The key difference betweenhumiliation and harm is intent.

(16:42):
The goal is to turn someone on,not tear them down.
So here's how you can give it atry in a safe way that feels
good.
Ask your partner to beg for akiss or playfully taunt.
You want this so bad, don't you?
Say please.
The thrill comes from exposureand vulnerability.

(17:06):
So here are some do's anddon'ts.
Do keep it light and sexy.
Don't use real insecurity orwounds.
That's a hard no.
Do check in often.
Safety is what makes itarousing.
Here's the science behind whythe humiliation kink is such a
turn.
Shame and arousal overlap in thebrain.

(17:28):
When combined safely,embarrassment transforms into
excitement.
The blush, the laugh, thevulnerability, it's all erotic
fuel.
So here's your kinktoberchallenge.
Tonight, ask your partner toadmit a fantasy or desire out
loud.
Notice how the blush makes ithotter.

(17:49):
And finally, kink number five,you gotta give it try, this
kinktober.
It's sensation overload.
So what is it?
Sensation overload is the art ofstacking multiple sensory
experiences until the body isbuzzing with stimulation.
Unlike simple sensory play, likeusing a feather or blindfold,

(18:10):
overload means layering.
Cold with heat, vibration withsound, pressure with softness.
The kink here is about pushingthe body into a place where
thought disappears, and the onlyoption is surrender.
It can look playful, blindfold,ice cube, vibrator, or it can be

(18:31):
more advanced with clamps, waxplay, or toys designed to
overstimulate.
At its core, sensation overloadis about intensity and presence.
It forces your mind out ofdistraction and straight into
the raw feeling.
So here's how to give it a try.
Start with one contrast.

(18:53):
Ice cube, warm breath, then addanother layer, vibration, add
sound, a toy buzzing loud enoughto be heard.
Layer sensation until the bodyis overwhelmed, but in the best
way.
Here are some do's and don'ts.
Do layer slowly.
Don't overwhelm with chaos.

(19:15):
Build gradually.
Do give aftercare.
We're talking blankets, puddles,words of reassurance.
And here's the science behindwhy this is such a turn on for
people.
Overloading senses narrows focuslike meditation.

(19:35):
That narrowed focus spikesdopamine and drunk, locking you
into the present.
We all know how hard that canbe.
So your King Tober challenges.

Pick three senses tonight: blindfold for sight, ice cubes (19:47):
undefined
for touch, buzzing vibe forsound.
Stack them and see how muchharder it is to think about
anything else but what'shappening in your body, and how
much easier it is to just feel.
Some toy and proprecommendations.

(20:10):
I'm gonna suggest the Wee VibeMelt for sound and section, uh,
and add a blindfold and thenplay with an ice cube or get a
little daring with skin safecandles.
I've got my favorite one herefrom Eye of Love.
It's the matchmaker.
You light the candle, it warmsup, and then you can drip it all

(20:34):
over the body.
This one is actually going togive you some bonus points
because it's packed withpheromones.
So that attraction you'refeeling is going to elevate real
quickly.
If you want to find out moreabout both these products and
receive my discount codes, ofcourse, you can scroll down to

I know I certainly do.
I'm gearing up right now.
So there you go.
You have five kinks to explorethis kinktober.
Spanking, chastity, dom subdynamics, erotic humiliation,
and sensation overload, eachwith a little challenge to make

(21:21):
it real.
Look, I know that some of thesekinks you've heard about before,

(21:42):

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
