Amanda Dames is the kink consultant of The Kink Consultant podcast. She specializes in intimacy, communication, consent, and kink education, working to help individuals and couples embrace their kinky side.
In this episode, Amanda joins David to talk about kink, gatekeeping, and what happens when you start a podcast before you have time to talk yourself out of it. She shares how an unexpected interview opportunity pushed her to launch, why she values telling stories people aren’t hearing elsewhere, and how her podcast eventually brought her clients—even though turning it into a business funnel was never the plan.
We also get into the parallels between kink and podcasting: the gatekeepers, the bad actors, the pressure to follow the rules, and the freedom that comes from doing things your own way.
The conversation includes some terminology you might not hear on every podcast. Nothing to clutch your pearls over. In fact, normalizing the conversation is part of the point.
And remember: AI can imitate a lot of things. But, as we establish in this episode, it doesn’t have spite.
