Rhea Johnston's job involves listening to peoples inner most thoughts. There's something intimate and disarming, for many, about sitting in the hair stylist's chair. To the point that you almost don't notice anyone to the right or to the left, and sometimes you completely open up (same as getting tattooed). After a couple years of monthly sits in Rhea's salon chair, we decided to bring the 'hair-apy' session to the Blue Hotel, as Rhea's debut includes a deep dive into the wonderful world (or shit-show) of dating and dating apps. Which leads us to how to best go about it, what to ask, what to tell, how much, and how soon, deal-breakers, alignment, and more. PLUS, Rhea tells a really great story about rejection. Oh, and somehow we get into porn preferences. Because why not. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Plus we touch upon her forays in kink and polyamory, and the importance of our relationship to self, and navigating dating, both anew and the value of planning dates in long-term relationships. And finally we'll get a glimpse into Evguenia's book Alice in Polyland.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time you're bound for glory. Or perhaps you're more into being Bound and Ignored, Restrained and Teased, Cuffed, Collared, Leashed, or Roped. Wanna play? Gender play. Fluid play. Hair play (that's right, pulling). Humiliation. Corporal Punishment. And that thing so hated as kids but so loved as adults: spanking. Which leads to obedience training. Physical & verbal.

For some of us, there's simply nothing quite like the trigger of scent to put you at a time, and in a place. She didn't quite grasp the effect her summer smell had upon him. She’d shower it away and he’d miss it and implore her to come to him next, when she’d been running and sweating and ripe. Her riveting green eyes and luscious lips were beyond, but it was her scent that filled his head with thoughts that lead to acts by bodies soaked and spent, on hot summer afternoons. The new stand-alone erotic story features MF and FF scenes, written and narrated by Jeff Woods.
