This was quite a strange, surreal, experience; to tie someone on the radio not knowing what would be talked about etc... We had a light hearted conversation about intentional abandonment, trust, sensations and the release through pain and the loss of control achieved through shibari.

The cadence of the episode was so quick too, I had worried about this going into it having trouble sometimes to "get a word in" I'm not often used to dominating conversation, I'm usually quiet or thinking too much.  

Anne Dorval was there too and I was completely oblivious as to who it was. Found out after the fact and I'm there answering her questions after the show like usual saying, you know... "Ah yeah, if you're interested you can come to Tension, we have shows once a month, we all sit on the floor and watch people do rope"  ....oops =^-^;=

There was a point at the end there where I kind of ignored a question "Est ce que le monde orgasm?" Time was SO limited, I had a timer in my face so I chose not to get into it, even forgetting to plug tension which I try to do later on during the "credits" geez. lol 

The session was on point though; delivered, too well apparently, exactly what they asked for. Francis was hilariously in subspace... You can listen to the conversation it was fantastic.
French only unfortunately, maybe I will do a transcript at some point. 

Altogether, very happy with the results of this fantastic demo & interview.

To listen to the whole show, including an interview and reading with Anne Dorval where you hear me hitting Francis with my bamboo wok brush which they later refer to as a Kendo stick lol
