The Local Sex Shop Podcast, ep. 5a: Beginners Guide to BDSM

We start off 2024 kinky! In this episode, Mikaella has a chat with her dear kinky friend Roan! Roan walks us through the basics for BDSM. Besides the whips and latex, what kind of practices does BDSM include? Is it exclusively sexual? Do you know what to expect and how do you negotiate what happens in a BDSM scene? Roan takes us through useful terminology for beginners such as Total Power Exchange and role archetypes.

Stay tuned for part 2 where we talk about why people are into kinks!

About the hostess: Mikaella (she/her) comes from Cyprus. She is studying Psychology with a clinical direction as a Major and has Minor courses in English Language and Culture at the University of Groningen. She has been the Activity Coordinator of Let’s Talk About Sex Groningen (LTAS) since 2021.

Her passion for sex education stems from the realization of how little proper [sex] education is provided by our physical environments and how much shame is ingrained into us for our sexuality and sexual expression. With this podcast, she aims to give voices to local students and experts to fight this reality and start meaningful conversations!
