I recently went over to my friend’s house, and her daughter said that they had “Chunky Monkey” Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in the freezer. She was super excited about having it for dessert, and had that gleam in her eye that only comes from knowing you’re gonna get your favorite thing. I knew she wanted me to be excited about it too. But, I told her that my favorite ice cream is vanilla. “Vanilla!?!?! That’s so boring,” rolling her eyes.  “It goes with everything,” I told her. She just rolled her eyes some more. Teenagers. I did not want to “yuck her yum”, so I changed the subject.  Everyone has the right to like what they like.

Anyways, with the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco coming up this September, I am reminded that everyone has their own kink. Everyone has their own favorite flavor of ice cream, favorite pair of underwear, favorite movie, favorite sex toy, etc, that special thing that makes them just so happy.

So, in celebration of our unique favorite things, our audiobooks of the month are of three fabulous books by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton. They are the New Topping Book, The Ethical Slut - Third Edition, and Radical Ecstasy.

The New Topping Book

Updated in 2016, provides a comprehensive guide to BDSM topping, offering not just practical techniques but also emotional insights and ethical principles for kinky play. It explores the evolving BDSM landscape, reflecting the growth of the community and the influence of the internet on modern practices.

An updated, comprehensive guide to polyamory and nontraditional relationships, offering practical advice on communication, emotional honesty, conflict resolution, and safer sex practices. The third edition reflects modern attitudes, includes interviews with younger poly people, and addresses new relationship structures, consent culture, and evolving gender and sexual dynamics.

Radical Ecstasy

In August, we were very excited to welcome back our friends from the San Francisco Film Preserve, Kathy O’Reagan, and Rob Byrne. They also brought an author and historian of silent films with them, Thomas Gladysz. They came to the studio to record voiceover commentary bonus tracks for four silent films starring Louise Brooks, which they restored, and are putting on to a DVD. I really enjoyed listening to their conversations and commentary, (like a historical peanut gallery without the sarcasm). Overall, it was a fun and educational experience.

Learn more about their publications on the San Francisco Film Preserve Website.
