Picking up where we left off from “The Toxic Nipple” which is the first episode of this series, we take a turn to navigate the complexities of same-sex relationships that transcend and challenge traditional definitions. Untitled, undefined with both parties often not inclined, to put a label or bring what is unspoken to the table. Are they uninterested or unable to dissect, the desires they have, that society has told them, to reject? Or are those desires linked, to bonds, they are more inclined, to protect? This is a journey through what is often unseen, yet felt deeply, at the core of one's being. Join us as we take, a look at the nuanced experiences that have shaped us, the bonds that break the boundaries we make.

In this captivating installment of our Shades of Bae series, we draw inspiration from Netflix's Black Mirror episode, "Striking Vipers."

It tells the tale of two old friends who reunite and begin a new chapter in their friendship within a virtual reality video game called "Striking Vipers." As they immerse themselves in this virtual world, taking on different identities and engaging in intense tournaments, they find themselves exploring a deeper and more complicated intimate connection within and outside the game. As the lines blur between the virtual and the real, they find themselves in an unconventional affair they are unable to conceal. Join us as we unpack this fascinating episode of Black Mirror and navigate the complex terrain of relationships, identity, and the many shades of gray our sexualities exist between.

Were we crippled from the start, fed with poison from the parts, our community that only embraces a narrow view of humanity, though be it far from their own reality? Were we nurtured on the nipple of insanity?

Join us as we take a tantalizing journey deep into the dark, forbidden world of how our upbringing has shaped our sexual views, gender roles, and relationship patterns. In this and the upcoming episodes of this series, we will explore the dangerous dance between nature and nurture, and unveil the provocative teachings and messages about love and intimacy that we were exposed to and influenced by. Through intoxicating storytelling and passionate discussions, we'll navigate the twisted and captivating path of healing from past traumas as we seek to answer why so many people hide parts of themselves from the people they love the most while sharing those hidden parts with those who are like ghosts. And how we have emerged out of a culture of hiding, a culture of fear, a culture that provided a corrupt kind of care, and now we’re here, beyond the ripples of the toxic nipples!

Have you ever felt that traditional or religious ideas of monogamy are out of date or out of step with the needs of humanity? If the answer is yes, you're not the only one. After watching Showtime’s “The Affair” and Netflix’s Sex Life, I’ve been reflecting on a conversation that began with a group of friends at a dinner party years ago, where one person expressed his belief that the idea of the monogamous relationship is problematic because it assumes that one person can be everything that the other person in the relationship needs. He expressed that to proceed with what he believed to be an impossible dream, would lead to disappointment when one or both of you discover that you can’t meet all of each other’s needs. All of this lead to this episodes conversation with my friend Donte. After being Married with kids for years now he found himself needing to breakout of traditional ideas of what all of that means! I can't wait for you to hear how things have evolved in his relationship with his wife as they both begin a new journey of addressing their emotional, spiritual and sexual needs.

"Was it enough?" was the question that incapsulated all of my fears and hopes about what the future could be for me. On this particular day It was one of many, that I wanted to ask all of humanity. I was looking for something certain in an abyss of uncertainty. So I sat in the corner on the bathroom floor where all of this came pouring out of me.

This is a poem about evolving through adversity. It's about what we make out of all the pieces of ourselves that we discover and recover on our journey. For me it's about surrendering to the spiritual force that lives within thee, and what I'll make of this course that is my humanity.

The words you are about to hear came pouring out one afternoon on the drive home. I was thinking about a few conversations I had with a couple friends about some difficult choices, and what experiencing depression feels like. Sometimes you don't always have answers to questions like "What's wrong?". Sometimes you can't bear to hear another piece of advice meant to minimize and dismiss you. So if you struggle with depression as I do, I send these words with many hugs and a kiss too. Note: Episodes with the "Inspired" moniker will abandon the normal format serving as Bonus content. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepoetgod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepoetgod/support
