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.

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.

  2. Calendars: Because being kinky takes all year. Take your pick of the NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar and/or Gassed Girls. Hey, who only has one calendar? Get both!
  3. Books: Seasonal choices are either Master K's Beauty of Kinbaku or the Two Knotty Boy's forthcoming Back on the Ropes.
  4. E-books: How about my own Nawashi? Oh, read it? Well, the Lust Chronicles is choc-full (or is that cock-full?) of kink, and Ropecast listener Peter Tupper's story in A Whisp of Steam is quite simply the best erotica I've ever read.
  5. Porn: Let's face it, we should get each other what we really want, but don't feel able to buy for ourselves. Porn! My personal favorite is currently Fucked & Bound (because I directed an upcoming segment)

Also, the Full Interview with Master K is now available for download. Apologies for the disparate audio levels; I worked on it as much as I could, but dammit, Jim, I'm a rigger, not a sound engineer.

ADDENDUM: Several people have expressed concern that I placed electrodes on Arielle's breasts in the podcast, when the general guideline is no e-stim above the waist. I have addressed these concerns in my other blog. Please read there before you email me with comments. Thank you!

ADDENDUM 2: Special thanks to Evan the KinkyCrafter for fixing many of the sound levels on the Master K interview. Interestingly, he did the same thing I did (ran it through the levelator) but it worked much better for him. Thanks also to Chaos for offering to help.

  Traeonna: Another order of business...regarding the word "sukebe" that I hear used on your podcast. I wanted to confirm something. I am unfamiliar with "sukebe" the way you spelled it on one podcast. I was wondering if perhaps it was actually "sukebei" (kana ã?ã?ã?ã?) [ kanji åå or åã?å]. Or perhaps this is one of those Japanese words where they sometimes drop off a letter and it's actually either way. Do you happen to know? I thought I was up on my Japanese "perv" terms (hentai, tousakusha, bukkake, futanari, panchira, paizuri, ecchi), but apparently not. Anyhow, it's been bugging me, so I thought I should ask (as it's not something I feel comfortable asking my two Japanese gal pals).
 
GRUEs (Graydancer's Ropetastic Unconference Extravaganza)...do you post when these will be anywhere or are they all invite only?"
    â  stgruey.pbwiki.com is the "GRUE in the Lou"

    â  Vocabulary words:
 Yarima & Yariman: "Fuck-devil" and "Cock-loving pussy"
    * "Sukebe" (pervert) From InstantExpert: "I practiced [Midori's] sukebe face all weekend. Wide eyes, tongues stuck out, boob grabbing hands. It was perhaps the funniest thing I'd ever seen."

    â Jack Elfrink: "Your two recent podcasts where you talking about very big rope (your trip to Mexico) and very small rope (the 5' interview with Midori) has me thinking that your listeners could help me with a special project I am working on.

In workshops that I give, people ask what length of rope they should use. I never give a fixed answer. If the partner you are tying is under five feet tall and 90 pounds soaking wet, you will need a different length of rope for them than if you are tying a big burly guy built like a linebacker.  The rope you use must be matched to the size of your primary play partner. This is why I answer with my 'double double double' rule.

Have whoever you will be tying stand with arms extended out to their side and measure from fingertip to fingertip. Double that length. This gives the basic short length good for tying wrists together or spread eagle to the bedposts. Double THAT length. This is the basic medium length good for rope bras, hogties, and general purpose work. Double THAT length. This is the basic long length good for rope corsets or full body harnesses.

Naturally this is not exact. Skinnier people will need slightly less than this and fatter people more. Japanese style bondage would need slightly more while 'damsel in distress' style would need significantly less. But it is a good general guideline that gets people into the right range and is extremely easy to remember and
calculate.

What I am looking for is a kind of measured-to-the-body guideline that works for rope diameter as well. Diameter confuses people more than length. Is a 5/16 inch diameter rope more or less than a 3/8 inch? What is 4mm converted into imperial units? Bigger body types need thicker rope than smaller body types, but how much bigger or smaller.

What I would like is an easy to remember way of determining the
diameter of rope needed based on the size of the partner you are
tying.

Listeners can contact you and I will listen to their answers on the
show. Or they can email me directly at me(at)jackelfrink.com

Presenting: the Babe-O-Mat http://graydancer.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=256880#
My own model, Symetrie, spent nearly 45 minutes inverted, a testament to the power of yoga to preserve one's kinky stamina. She then came out of that (and several variations) raring for more, including the idea to try this. QT_141592 and A_Petite_Blonde are the other two "babes" in this Babe-O-Mat, and they had a lot of fun. More pics are hopeful, but the best view is one that only my eyes saw.

I lay underneath them, watching their happy faces and boobies rotate above me. The dancer in me took over, and I asked them to grasp each others hands and push out. This resulted in a lovely bell-shaped arch ("I want that on my Xmas tree" one bystander muttered) for about five seconds - then they all came crashing back to the center. To bump heads, you might think...but no! The female form is graced with bumpers to prevent such accidents from happening, and they ended up just kind of...well...boinging against each other for a bit.

Many thanks to the group for inviting me up and letting me play in their sandbox. Looking forward to the next trip...
