Interlude: Chastity and Milking 😳
Send us a textThe hosting AI says this about the episode, which isn't wrong:Embarking on a quest for the ultimate in security and self-discovery, I've found myself at a crossroads of intricate devices and profound BDSM dynamics. The journey through chastity led me to evolve past the Cobra by Kink3D, seeking out a device that's not only secure but also a testament to the unique path I tread in the kink world. Enter the Orion by Evotion, a custom-fit marvel that promises to hold the key (quite literally) to new levels of emotional intimacy and personal expression. With an eye for detail and comfort, I share the meticulous process of obtaining the perfect fit, the considerations for a base ring that feels just right, and the potential for a shared journey with a future keyholder. This episode isn't just about the 'what' of chastity devices; it's a narrative of the 'why' behind each choice and the 'how' of the deeper connections they foster.As we navigate the sensual landscapes of leather and technology, I introduce the latest addition to my repertoire – the VacuGlide milking machine. This isn’t just a piece of equipment; it's a portal to explore the balance between control and release, where my hands-off approach to climax redefines the scenes I craft. We'll discuss the device's travel-friendly design, its setup for seamless scene integration, and the profound implications of consent extraction in our play. As the boundary between pleasure and chastity becomes a dance of dualities, join me on a candid exploration of how these elements intertwine, shaping the contours of self and sexuality with every locked moment and every automated pulse.Support the showAsk Edge!

Interlude: Depression, Part II
Send us a textHere's how Buzzsprout AI described this episode LOL:Battling the tides of depression is an experience akin to navigating a relentless ocean; it's a voyage I've charted through the ebb and flow of medication adjustments, 12-step programs, and the unexpected oasis of dance lessons. My narrative in this episode is not just about the storms faced, but also the triumph in self-care and the pursuit of love amidst my professional endeavors. Wrestling with the decision to reveal the intricacies of my personal life, I've chosen the path of privacy in my dating journey, a reflection of the intricate dance between public persona and the quest for genuine connection.The silent chorus of loneliness, especially poignant during weekends, strikes a chord with many, and I'm no stranger to its melody. Over the past 15 years, therapy sessions have been my steadfast companions, providing solace and stability. Listen as I delve into the importance of demystifying mental health support, the invaluable role of therapy, and how, despite a lackluster Saturday, there's always the hope of a brighter Sunday.
