Erotic Awakening Podcast

On this episode, we break from our normal format and just kind of talk to each other about our recent experience as competitors in the Great Lakes Leather Alliance Master and slave contest.    "It is expected that the holders of the titles will take every opportunity to educate the leather/BDSM community on the Master/slave lifestyle, and will actively seek out venues that will allow them to speak on Master/slave issues, whether that be through speeches, seminar presentations, participation on panel discussions, writing articles, etc."

This week, we talk with Pittsburgh based presenters Russ and Cashmere, who own and share about Fuck Machines!  We also talk about what to do if you don't like your local scene and what our local scene looks like. What events go on and what is coming up.  Read our blog right at http://www.eroticawakening.com Join our Facebook page by searching for EroticAwakening (all one word) Visit our discussion group in Fetlife by searching for Erotic Awakening Give us a call and leave us a voicemail at 206-309-0054 Comments?
