Rhea Johnston's job involves listening to peoples inner most thoughts. There's something intimate and disarming, for many, about sitting in the hair stylist's chair. To the point that you almost don't notice anyone to the right or to the left, and sometimes you completely open up (same as getting tattooed).

After a couple years of monthly sits in Rhea's salon chair, we decided to bring the 'hair-apy' session to the Blue Hotel, as Rhea's debut includes a deep dive into the wonderful world (or shit-show) of dating and dating apps. Which leads us to how to best go about it, what to ask, what to tell, how much, and how soon, deal-breakers, alignment, and more. PLUS, Rhea tells a really great story about rejection. Oh, and somehow we get into porn preferences. Because why not.

Jeff welcomes another dynamic and colourful guest to the Blue Hotel as Evguenia, an accredited Energy Therapist, a Passionate Sexuality Guide, who in 2024 becomes a registered Psychotherapist in Toronto, to talk about her upbringing in Russia and subsequent move to Canada where she began her exploration into sexuality which became a career, plus her adventures in love and relationship, the power and the energy of orgasm (even without ejaculation!?) Plus we touch upon her forays in kink and polyamory, and the importance of our relationship to self, and navigating dating, both anew and the value of planning dates in long-term relationships. And finally we'll get a glimpse into Evguenia's book Alice in Polyland.

“Our sex energy is our life energy. And is meant to be expressed and cultivated without shame, taboo or stigma”. The wisdom of Jeff Woods' special guest this time, as Serena Haines returns to dive into such compelling topics as edging, fantasy, E.D., shame, porn, bi women and bi men, the balance of independence and togetherness, plus 3 things that are not going to fix your relationship (not to say they can't be fun!).

And she's talking from experience and education that has led to her latest publication, A Guide to Healthy Relationships, which we also touch on especially in terms of looking at things that most stand in the way of effective communication.

A great listen while driving or hanging around the house – an hour with Serena and Jeff at the Blue Hotel.

The Blue Hotel is two things: 1) interviews with special guests and 2) audio erotica

The debut of Veronica's Secrets, a new audio erotica series from The Blue Hotel, starring who else, but Veronica. And the Captain, as she's named him. They have a date like this, every two weeks, during which he mixes drinks, she talks about what she's wearing, and he prompts her to share a secret. A shy start on her way to a story with a happy ending.

We're pleased to bring you this solid young couple, wise beyond their years, in love and life, who share how it began and how it's going. Stiletto Thunderkiss is a working performer in burlesque, and she's also working 9-5, as it were in film, alongside her partner, film-maker Brian Hamilton.

We dive into everything from the Suicide Girls brand, to Stiletto's managing The Hellbound Harlots, what happens on her Onlyfans, and subjects like condoms, what went down at Taboo Toronto, who went down at Oasis Aqualounge, porn preferences, the lure of South Beach, Los Angeles, and points beyond. And the part we love most, is how they operate as a couple, in the way they communicate and show appreciation for one another. And naturally, we get to where she came up with such a super-hero rockstar handle and how people have reacted to it, plus we'll climax with the song that proved part of the inspiration for “Stiletto Thunderkiss”.
