With Shibaricon the week this podcast goes/went live, Lee takes some time to reflect how far the event has gone since its debut in 2004. 10 events later, it has become the hub of a rope bondage community that did not exist before its inception, speaking volumes about how if just one person has a dream, and takes actions towards it, it can change so many lives. From memories and funny stories to connection and play, Lee dances with rope on his lips and lays out a few bits to chew on along the way.   Episode Notes: Events: Shibaricon – http://www.Shibaricon.com International Mr. Leather - http://www.imrl.com/ People: Ayem Willing - http://passionandsoul.com/journal/ayem  Rigger Mortis - http://www.riggermortis.com/  Dov - http://www.washi-nawashi.com/ Madame Butterfly - http://www.butterflyrope.com/   Lee’s Upcoming Events/Appearances: http://passionandsoul.com/appearances/ Other Stuff: Paul Arden’s “It’s Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be” www.amazon.com/Its-Not-How-Good-Want/dp/0714843377/r

Axe (from the ever-kinky MasoCast) joins Lee to dive into his journey through submission that started off leading him by his orgasms, and helped him find his inner desires and interests along the way.
