What happens when you mix a vibrant author, a love for smutty romance, and a passion for alternative lifestyles? You get an electrifying conversation with Shannon Elliott, who's as multifaceted as they come. Shannon shares her journey into the world of polyamory, swinging, and kink, offering insights that are as educational as they are entertaining. My alter ego, Mr. Criss P Bacon, is thrilled to connect over our shared love for the unconventional and explore the dynamic energy at events like the Smut Lovers convention. Through personal stories and a few laughs, we set the stage for an engaging discussion on embracing one's unique path.
Ever wondered how a repressive upbringing could lead to a late sexual awakening? Together, Shannon and I uncover the power of storytelling in understanding diverse lifestyles, highlighting the importance of authenticity in the podcasting world. We navigate the complexities and joys of alternative communities like BDSM, swinging, and polyamory, balancing academic insights with raw, real-life experiences. The conversation takes an introspective turn as we share personal tales and emphasize the role of education in dispelling myths and offering accurate representations in media.
Personal growth and self-care are at the heart of our discussion on solo polyamory and independence. With an empowering look at embracing "selfishness" in a positive light, we explore the importance of understanding personal energy and rhythms. Wrapping up with an exciting announcement for "Around the Kinky Kampfire," listeners are guided on where to find more content and join our enthusiastic community. There's optimism and excitement for future episodes, with Shannon promising a return, and a hopeful nod to the Law of Attraction for continued success.

Shannon Elliot is a neurodivergent polyamorous bisexual Gemini who’s never made a decision in her life. She’s also an author of queer kinky romance--spank the rainbow, bitches!
As an author, Shannon believes that representation should be the foundation of the romance genre. We all deserve our own kinky, queer and maybe unconventional HEAs.
When she’s not coming up with fantasies for us to devour, she can be found hanging out with her co-author, Elliot, or hanging out at a club or kink event with her lifestyle community.
