I heard a little bit of a 50s ballad in between TS Madison’s story and Shashi Musso’s story. I don’t see it listed here. Can you tell me what that song is? Thanks!
I have listened to all these stories before but they are all fantastic ones.
That last story, though….the first time I heard it I wept at the end. And to hear it again this week made all the difference in my perspective on this week.
You see, a week from yesterday, My soon to be ex wife will be flying into my city from across the country in order to finalize our divorce. I have been having all sorts of nervous, heartbreaking, anxious feelings about it.
I also had a date last night, with someone I have slept with before and have been dating a month or so. She is a great person. But with my divorce, and my previous sexual assaults, and overall dysphoria, I was very nervous about a sexual encounter with her. What if I was too nervous to perform? what if I was too closed off?
But I had just listened to this story earlier that day.
And I had one of the best sexual experiences of my life.
It wasn’t about the acts themselves that made me think that – no new kinks discovered or anything like that – but I found myself, when I felt tense and nervous, to look at this woman who is such an eager, erotically adventurous, wild and brilliant person, and decided it was time for me to surrender to her erotic energy.
It was truly transforming. I trusted her. I felt no fear or guilt or shame. I accepted her interest in my body and her beautiful expression. I tried to give her back what she had given me.
I don’t know if she felt exactly the same way I did, but I do know that afterwards we were entangled for so long it could have been hours.
Once again, Risk! has done something for me that no amount of therapy or medication could.
I was afraid. I took a risk. And I am so glad I did.
“Say Goodbye to my Little Friend” was incredibly funny (and as an ER nurse, it was also very relatable). I’d love to hear a full episode from emergency service workers, we all collect good stories.
These are definitely memorable stories from the year, and well told, but this episode should have been titled “best of risk: penis edition.”
