Episode 237: ‘Overly Responsive Robot‘ (Rachel Lark)

Have you ever used Google Drive to negotiate your most elaborate scenes? When beloved Bawdy musician Rachel Lark meets new flame Tim on Tinder, they defeat their long distance woes with shared spreadsheets containing links to kinky video inspiration for their next date with requested words or phrases, potential triggers, sexy outfits and props to purchase, and more. But when they go off-script in a rented dungeon, they both learn that spontaneity can be surprisingly hot. #UnboxMe #Spreadsheets  #RTFM #LowBattery #OrgasmControl #GoodbyeQuake
