Midori How to make negotiation sexyGreat sex and mind-blowing kink must include clear communication and thorough negotiation. Sometimes, however, the process can seem impersonal and not very sexy. In this episode, Midori teaches us surefire techniques for laying groundwork before a sexy scene that doesn’t feel like negotiation at all. She explains her signature engaged collaborative consent model, gives specific steps for flirtatious negotiation, and offers tips for cultivating “Queen of the Starfish” moments. She also busts myths about what aftercare should entail, explains the brain chemistry behind sub drop and top drop, introduces us to BYOA, and details how to get the aftercare you want whether you’re submissive or dominant. Yes, Doms need aftercare too! This is a must listen for everyone no matter where you are on the kinky spectrum. Sunny & Ken also prepare for their holiday hiatus and a life-changing adventure.
