Episode 3: Open vs Opening Up, Fun Factory’s Delight, Benny Profane’s Hospital, Marisa DiMattia on sex & tattoos… plus more!
September 10, 2008
Yay, its the third episode! Unfortunately, Live Girl Review had a bit of a set back last week - the show has been deleted from iTunes. I think it’s probably because of “strong prevalence of sexual content,” which is listed in their terms of service as a reason shows may not be included. I haven’t gotten a response back from iTunes Abuse - if anyone has suggestions for me, please let me know. It would be a real bummer if the show wasn’t on iTunes.
In less crappy news: the winner of the goodies from the last episode is Baby Sinead, who is a photographer, model, and hell raiser in NYC. Check out her site - her blog is excellent, as are her boobs.
Here what’s in the show this week!

One Hot Minute
Because I reviewed two books about open relationships, Jamye Waxman decided to share a few tips about how to have a happy threesome.

Here’s why you should think twice about a vaginoplasty - put those muscles to work instead!
Fan Girl Moment
I get fan girly on Marisa DiMattia of tattoo couture blog Needled. She talks all about sex and tattoos and the study she’s been doing on the subject - you can read more about the study in her column Erotic Ink over on Suicide Girls.
Goodies!
This episode’s give aways will go to one lucky commenter - not top five or top ten, but anyone who comments before the next episode goes up. The winner will get: a copy of Hospital plus Ellen Forney’s Lust (comics inspired by personal ads).
The next episdoe goes up on September 24!
Thanks for your support!

Great show, Dacia! I love the range of topics you cover. I’ll be tuning in again….
Another excellent episode! It got my husband and I talking a LOT about everything from polyamory (because a friend of mine recently opened up his marriage) to tattoos (including some of Margaret Cho’s fantastic inks shown on her blog). We’re really hooked on the show and hope you can straighten out those iTunes people soon! Regardless, I follow you on Twitter & visit the site regularly for reviews, so I stay on top of the new stuff.
There were two odd repeated segments in Episode 3. One during the Vaginoplasty segment and the other during the ending when you talked about leaving comments for a chance to win prizes. Since you’ve had some technical issues this week and some laptop woes, I’m sure they result from that! No worries though, my husband and I are thrilled to see a new episode and have lots of links to follow, sites to visit and much more to talk about and share this coming weekend.
Many, many thanks,
Jiffy
Hi Dacia,
I liked your third episode alot. I have always read your blog and other stuff, but this seems so much more personal. Sucks about i tunes booting you off though. I enjoyed the guest segment this time alot…..I dont have any tattoos (there i’m out of the closet about it) but I can see where it would be erotic……especially if you have any tendencys to lean towards exhibitionisim. I myself would choose a girl artist if and when the time comes….
Later- laurie
@Balthazar B - nice to see your name in the comments, it’s been a while!
@Jiffy - thanks so much for mentioning the repeated bits - thats what I get for editing at 3 am when I’m past the point of patience and sanity. I’ve re-edited and am exporting the footage with the fixes. Also, I’m glad the show has sparked conversation with you and your husband!
@Laurie - Thanks for the kind words about the show - interesting comment about it being more personal. I feel like I’m more aware of an audience when I’m doing the video podcast than I am when I’m writing… but any way you cut it, the blog and the videos are super different. Also, I have a female tattoo artist (Joy Rumore - http://themilkmaid.com) and I used to think it didn’t matter, but now I think I definitely prefer to be tattooed by a woman. Or maybe I just prefer to be tattooed by Joy.
i really love the format you’re using! the titles are great, too. it’s nice to see you in person!

Great show!
I want in on the giveaway
Another strong and thought-provoking episode, ‘Dacia! I pimped it over in the Poly & Kinky group on FetLife, as I think many of them will find your review and comparison of Open and Opening Up interesting.
Myself, I really got a lot from ‘meeting’ Marisa - and now I’m thinking more about my own reactions to the tattooing process

Good show again. Hope you find a way of getting this either back on iTunes or some other subscription method.

I am loving Live Girl Review. I was away at Dark Odyssey and just got back and checked iTunes. The show is there! I am so glad that this is fixed.
@Lolita - its not entirely fixed - it seems that if you were subscribed you can download new episodes, but the show isn’t turning up in my search in the iTunes store. Weirdness.
Great episode! I just started reading Opening Up, and it’s a great book. Having a background in Anthropology, I find it interesting how people can find different ways of expressing marriage and family life.
Also, thanks for the review of Hospital! It looks really cool, and I’m gonna try getting a copy this weekend!
Keep up the great work!
Hey Audacia, nice podcast it was very enjoyable and I liked the part with the sex toy review. I’m looking forward to checking the rest of your work out. Sincerely, Lucky_Larry17
I love how funny you are in these videos, and informative, and adorable! And of course, Marisa is the coolest. It’s also a cool overload to have you both on at once.

Hi Audacia,
Your quirky sense of humor and approachable style makes me wonder where you have been all this time?! It’s about time that someone provides information on Sex related topics in this format. I don’t know why iTunes dropped the show, but I am sure if more people knew about it they would watch it. The information you have provide each week on Live Girl Review is very useful. I myself happen to be in an open-relationship and have been looking for useful resources. Thank you for doing what you do, and being so awesome at it!
XOXO,
Alamode
Another good episode.. keep up the good work. Your comments about seeing friends in porn were amusing.
iTunes is odd about sex podcasts. I’m sure you’ve heard about Violet Blue’s problems with iTunes. I think the Sex Is Fun people have run into problems as well.
Great Episode. Marisa is awesome!!
