Episode 102: Introducing Submission Into Your Relationship 2
Podcast Summary:
What if your deepest desires aren’t something to hide—but something worth exploring, communicating, and honoring?
In this powerful episode of The DOM Life Podcast, Master Nick and Lady Dee dive deep into the realities of introducing kink, power exchange, and BDSM dynamics into a relationship—especially when one partner is coming from a more “vanilla” place. This is not about shock value or labels; it’s about communication, consent, patience, and growth.
Through real-life experiences, candid storytelling, and practical advice, they explore how to plant subtle “Easter eggs” of desire, give and receive feedback without fear, and open the door to honest conversations about wants, needs, and fantasies. From leaving intentional notes, recognizing positive responses, and reframing BDSM as “kink” to ease the conversation, to navigating rejection, mismatched desires, and the emotional weight of unmet needs—nothing is sugarcoated.
This episode also sheds light on the often-overlooked side of dominance: the time, effort, learning curve, emotional responsibility, and vulnerability required of a Dom—especially one who truly cares about their partner’s well-being. You’ll hear honest discussions about trial and error, boundaries, failed scenes, emotional triggers, non-monogamy, and the difficult crossroads many couples face when desires don’t align.
Whether you’re curious, questioning, deeply experienced, or quietly longing for more, this episode offers education, validation, and a reminder that you are not alone—and your desires matter.

Episode 96: The DOM Life Attends Kinktasia 2025 Part 2
Podcast Summary:
In the second part of Kinktasia 2025, Master Nick leads the discussion on all things Day 2 at the event. He revisits Day 1 to explain how Eve Riot did an amazing but cringe-worthy performance using legos as a base for many of their interactions while on stage. Cringe-worthy due to the imagined pain they HAD to have felt. Sadly, due to Lady Dee’s accident Master Nick and Lady Dee did not attend any of the educational opportunities on Saturday but were surprised at the selection of classes available at this event. In early September, they had about 5 classes, some over-lapping in times that they wanted to attend and were debating which to register for before it was no longer possible. Day 2 was a dungeon play event that comprised of multiple areas on multiple floors that had furniture set up for use. After a snafu with the start times, Master Nick arrived and was happy to watch a number of scenes including one involving whips and another with light flogging. Then, he had an opportunity to do an impact and electric scene himself with someone you’ve met on a previous episode. With Kinktasia 2025 in the books, they look forward to seeing what’s in store for 2026.

Episode 95: The DOM Life Attends Kinktasia 2025 Part 1
Podcast Summary:
In the beginning of this episode, Lady Dee gives an update on her health before Master Nick takes a moment to wish all the listeners a Happy Thanksgiving. This is the long awaited Kinktasia 2025 breakdown of events. Master Nick mentions the resignation of a key figure in the event before focusing on Day 1 where he discusses being a vendor, a breakdown of products available by other vendors, along with the performances on stage during the night. Lady Dee provides her minimal input on the event as she was only able to attend a few hours before having to leave due to her body healing – she does want a red-carpet entrance at their next event. They both were happy with the on-air conversations they had with the individuals who attended but also expressed a desire that more people would have come to speak with them. There were some amazing and talented burlesque performers, but as a result of the performances the carnival aspect of Kinktasia got lost and foot traffic was sparce reducing some of the interactive fun that was part of 2024. Sir Dancealot and Erratic Eros had an epic performance showing their development of skills in the past year along with core strength Master Nick wishes he had. This is part 1 of a two-part episode discussing Kinktasia 2025.
