episode 31 | Rope Play
Welcome back to Summer Camp, Pleasure Babes!
This week we’re doing the ropes course and playing tug-o-war, because we’re talking about ropes, restraints, blindfolds, and more! That’s right, we’re talking pleasure, pain, and power, and we’re having so much fun doing it!
From tie me up, to spank me, to blindfold me… we’re jumping in and having so much fun!
We discuss whether our feminism can interfere with our pleasure if we overanalyze our desires and unpack the difference between powerlessness and giving up our power. Maybe there’s power in surrendering to our desires!
Maybe we start with a blindfold and 5 minutes of touching yourself, your love, or the babe you met this weekend at Pride! Of course we wanna be safe, but we’re also here for having some fun, letting ourselves play, and expanding how we think about pleasure.
We’d love to hear what you think. Are you more of a blindfold, hogtie, or vanilla kind of lover? We’re here for all of it, if it’s bringing you pleasure!
episode 30 | Hot Girl Summer
It’s week 2 here at Pleasure Summer Camp and that means it’s Hot Girl Summer time!
We hear so much about hot girl summers, beach bodies, and how we’re supposed to be something to have a summer. So we’re reclaiming our Hot Girl-ness and declaring this summer a HOT GIRL SUMMER because we are hot girls (and hot theys!) and that’s enough for a hot girl summer!
In this episode we throw away the idea that we have to be on a diet, look a certain way, or be a certain way in order to have a hot girl summer. We’re leaning in to more joy, confidence, hotness, and feeling free and good! We’re unpacking confidence, what it means to be unbothered in our joy, and unfuckwithableness.
The whole vibe is: it’s hot girl summer, we are said hot girls and we’re sexy as fuck!
Our hope this summer is that we all feel free as often and as much as possible. Doing as we please, wearing whatever we want, and living our best, most unfuckwithable lives. Waking up each day and deciding that it’s hot girl summer and I’m the hot girl doing as she pleases. What do you think?
episode 29 | Splish Splash
If we were at summer camp we’d be splish splashing in the pool or lake, but at pleasure camp we’re splashing around in… some other things! 😉
We’re jumping right in a vulnerable and sexy conversations about all the fluids and splashing that comes with yummy sex. We’re talking squirting, come, lube and our wonderful, splash-proof blankets.
This episode is quick and dirty, and we’re normalizing leaning in to the pleasures of sex even when it’s messy.
episode 28 | Pleasure Summer Camp
In the spirit of summer, we are introducing Pleasure Summer Camp! Just like the summer camps, and all the summer fun we cherished as kids, we are bringing back that sense of excitement and anticipation, but this time with a delightful twist for adults. Each week, we will explore different summer camp-themed topics that will make you smile, laugh, and reconnect with the pleasure that’s within you.
We aim to keep the episodes short, sweet, and packed with fun! Think of it as a refreshing and playful dose of summertime happiness. We want you to embrace the spirit of summer, let loose, and enjoy every moment.
Our Pleasure Summer Camp will cover a wide range of topics with a play on summer camp themes. Some examples are, “last summer @ band camp,” “3-legged race,” and “BBQ’s, mojito’s and eating out.”
So, are you ready to dive in? We're thrilled to invite you to join us for Pleasure Summer Camp. Let's make this season a celebration of pleasure, joy, and all things delightful. It's time to unleash your inner hot girl and dive in.
Stay tuned for our first episode, “Splish Splash,” which will kick off the Pleasure Summer Camp next week Tuesday. Make sure to mark your calendar, subscribe to our podcast, and get ready for a summer filled with laughter, exploration, and lots of fun.
Thank you for being a part of our podcast journey. We can't wait to embark on this Pleasure Summer Camp adventure with you!
episode 27 | Celebrating National Masturbation Month
May is National Masturbation Month, and we are celebrating! Join us in this celebration, and also the realization that we started this journey together a year ago this week!
episode 26 | Grown As$ Friendships
This week we’re talking Grown Ass Friendships and Platonic Love.
Yup, we’ve got more to say on this topic, so this episode is entirely dedicated to platonic love and friendships. We’re smitten and hope that you are too!
Dana shares about her platonic life partner and we both gush about how in love we are with our friends and friendships!
We share a bit of our own origin story and how we dove head first into our friendship romance, we U-Hauled it, if you will! ;) And talk about why we tell our friends how we love them.
episode 25 | Shootin’ the sh*t | what's bringing us pleasure lately
This week we're shootin' the shit about what's bringing us pleasure lately and how life has been. Real talk, we love doing this podcast because we love chatting with each other about things we care about! So this week instead of coming up with a specific topic, we decided to just connect and talk to each other. We had a ton of fun and dug into a number of topics, and we hope you you enjoy it too!
episode 24 | Pleasure as a Liberatory Mindset
This week we’re talking about something that's been so ingrained in our philosophies that we almost forgot to talk about it explicitly- pleasure as liberation! We believe that abundant pleasure requires a liberatory mindset and this week we’re talking about what that means to us. Liberating ourselves from expectations, people pleasing, perfectionism, and “shoulds” cultivates a more abundant life of joy!
episode 23 | Fantasy & Pleasure
This week we’re talking about the importance of fantasy and imagination in cultivating and pleasure-centered life. We can’t be what we can’t see, right? So taking the time to visualize and imagine the things that we want helps us lay the foundation for receiving it.
Also, we talked about how sex is a good motivator for working out– not because of how we look, but so we can be flexible and have the stamina to have delicious, good sex well into middle age! Whatever gets us moving our bodies!
episode 22 | Is This a Sex Podcast or Naw?
In this episode, Victoria and Dana show you behind the scenes as they talk about where or not Reconnecting with Pleasure is a sex podcast... or naw. Join them in this discussion, and see what they come up with. Spoiler alert: it's both, and...
episode 21 | Pleasure & Courage
In this episode of Reconnecting with Pleasure we're chatting about courage and pleasure. This started when Dana was on a little girls weekend getaway and stumbled upon a wall of courage where folks posted things that they wished they had the courage to do, anonymously. So naturally we had to chat about the ways that courage is essential to pleasure-centered living.
