  1. In the traditional option, very little time is spent in actually
    playing the game. They must offer a safe and a secure gaming environment to all the players.

    Real – Time Gaming can be played in two distinct versions, flash or download.
    Like all casino players are different, are the site of games
    too.

    Wow! What a kick ass discussion of the motivations behind BDSM and THANK you & Ryan for sharing such frank and simple approaches to handling JEALOUSY in both poly and monogamous relationships. And a BIG THANK YOU Dave for hanging in there on the kink fetish BDSM discussion!!! Sounds like things were hitting home in a deep way for you. And instead of cracking jokes you really opened up and showed exactly what you felt. This podcast is what “Sex Geeking” is all about….

    I’m just listening to the podcast at the moment and after hearing the small discussion on polyamory vs swinging and mixing them up in the media, I thought I’d share this:
    http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/the-power-of-three-20130114-2co9h.html
    It was actually front page online in one of our major news outlets and seems to me to not only get it right about the difference between swingers and the polyamorous (sp?) but be completely non-judgemental.
    Just to clarify, I am sex-positive and adventurous, but not polyamorous. It was just an interesting story, and to have it not be a “LOOK AT THESE CRAZY PEOPLE WITH THEIR HORRID SEX ANTICS” type story seems to be a bonus.

    so love the show and just wanted to ask who is MONIKA SIAUW and why is everything in the episode’s tags named for her?
