The YouTube video hasn't come out yet. I just listened to this podcast. About an hour into the conversation, Ashley (the caller) shared that her relationship with her boyfriend is a dom/sub relationship where bondage and other non-mainstream sexual events occur. I only know what I've read about this type of thing. Never been in a dom/sub relationship and have no desire to do so. My comment might be entirely inaccurate and unhelpful but I felt compelled to come to the forum and share some thoughts. In the Dom/Sub relationship, the Dom doesn't have the final say, the Sub does. It's the safe word. The Sub can stop what's happening at anytime. Ashley was describing her relationship and it occurred to me that this critical aspect of traditional Dom/Sub interaction is not present. That’s not safe at all.

I'm an hour an a half in and finding this conversation mildly frustrating and frighteningly relatable. The gentleman caller is struggling to understand and struggling to articulate something of substance. I'm hoping Stefan knows how to navigate this because I think it would be helpful. Another hour and a half to go.

Is this a step in the right direction towards the free market? 2) Many typical anti-union arguments are being thrown at this. Examples: Democrats like unions. Republicans hate unions. Unions are bad. Aren't students being compensated with an all expensed paid education? Why stop with the athletes? What about the marching band, cheerleaders, debate team, engineering team. Won't this destroy college athletics?
