I am a 34 year old guy and I started listening to your podcasts last spring just to get my “rocks off” during my commute to work,
But I must say, my favorite parts of your stories are the “real world” scenarios you describe!
Like when a guy cant get his cock hard, how some parties don’t interest you.. or in this case ,your conflict and confusion with Carmen
Those types of moments really add textures to your story telling I believe
Your sex stories are almost better then the real thing !! hahaha
Have a great turkey day Mia!

Always a high point of the month — the day a new Mia comes out!
FWIW, I thought the dialogue worked out fine — I had no problem with who the speaker was. But heck, you could read the freaking dictionary and it would sound fine!
No. More than fine.
And I always get a kick out of the music you choose.

Thanks, Wade. Glad to know you have stuck around not just get your rocks off. Glad you are liking the “real world” scenarios.

Thanks, Climbhi. I love picking out the music. I tend to use the music that inspires the piece and often I have written the story while listening to the songs. And I’m glad to hear the dialogue worked out. xxMia

Congrats on your 20th pod cast! That is quite an accomplishment. I loved #20. I loved the way you wrote about emotion. The dialogue was well handled. and your reading was one of the best ever. Maybe the best. Any who proud of you!! as always.

WOW Mia i just listened to your last 5 podcasts. I found your work on itunes…very very nice work…Five of those and I’m good to go….thxs for your lovely talent with words.
I’ve very much been in this position. A lot of discussion and decisions and negotiation feel resolved and stable, but after the fact emotions can go all sorts of directions. Likewise the choices we make when we are calm and happy can seem absurd when we are having a bad day or feeling needy or so on.
Living this kind of life of adventure can be amazing, but can also be so trying. I’m still trying to find my way in it. Trying not to break any hearts and trying to be as honest as I can be, with myself and my partners.
Sometimes both alternatives, being single and wild or being monogamous, seem far more attractive. Sometimes I wonder if the way I feel now is just a phase. Sometimes I feel like once to poly/swinger/non-monogamous door is open it would be impossible to go back.
Thanks, Shari, CL, and Jack. And thanks, Jack for your response about being in similar situations. Sometimes when I talk to poly people they make it sound like having sex outside your primary relationship or having more than one partner is really easy. And that jealousy is just a man-made emotion. Conceptually, any form of non-monogamy makes sense to me, but creating and maintaining an open relationship is way more difficult to digest than the concept. At least for me, which is why I wrote this piece and, really, which is why I created this podcast — to work some things out and try and gain more understanding. I think you touch on something that really rings true for me — decisions made when calm and happy can seem absurd when we are having a bad day or feeling needy or so on. Well said. I think it takes everyone a while to figure out the right combination of monogamy or non-monogamy. Good luck on your travels and thanks for your opinion. xxMia

HOLY SHIT the podcast is incredible. It is both amazingly sexy and poignant to listen to someone bear their heart the way you do. It isn’t just about fucking or being nasty… your heart comes through and its brilliant. I love it, keep it up, and thanks for the wonderful work so far. You are truly unique and I can’t wait for each new episode.
Thanks, PH. Glad my heart comes through. I definitely want it to.

I really like the feel of your latest podcasts. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I feel like you’re taking a little more time in explaining your thoughts and views, which makes it that much more hot (to me at least). Anyway, best of luck with all your activities in NYC. I’m going to have to check out your calendar!

Andrew, I appreciate the feedback. I think there is more about my head and heart in these last couple ones. I guess I’m at that point in the story. When I was single and going to parties it was more about the event. Now it is more about the relationship. I thought people might be disappointed with less sex, but much like yourself, everyone I have heard from has found these last few very sexy. It’s good to know.
