This episode is a deep journey into the PRACTICE of sexual integrity. It's one of the most important episodes on this podcast so far, so please take your time with it - and note the chapters below too. Also, please read the important note below before you finish the episode. ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: While this conversation is in-depth and provides great options for moving forward in healthy ways, it does not cover all the nuances of sexual harm, integrity and accountability. There will always be scenarios that do not fit into what has been discussed here (for example, we did not talk about when people weaponize the idea/accusation that someone has caused harm to them when they haven't. Those instances are rare, but they're very real when they do happen). 🔴 You can also watch this episode on Youtube. ✅ IMPORTANT TOPICS:0:00 Intro/Welcome2:17 Introducing Mischa (Work & Harm)10:22 We Can ALL Cause Harm...15:31 What is Power?

Discover the unexpected ways pleasure and kink intertwine with human psychology as we navigate the often-misunderstood waters of BDSM, consent, and sexual liberation. Joined by the insightful Ashley and the experienced Kyle, we tackle the fallacy that kink is strictly a trauma response and instead reveal its potential for healing and empowerment. Through candid conversations, we explore the fluid dynamics of dominance and submission, the role of 'brat energy' in BDSM, and how these practices can lead to personal growth and deeper self-understanding.As we peel away societal taboos, our guests share their transformative journeys from mere participants to passionate educators within the kink community. They illuminate the joys of helping others safely unearth their desires, pushing past conventional boundaries to a place of profound erotic expression. We also dissect the critical role of consent and the Wheel of Consent, emphasizing how these frameworks can foster a safe and fulfilling exploration of one's sexual landscape.Join us for this thought-provoking session where we embrace our primal instincts and redefine what it means to engage in role-playing, objectification, and the pursuit of pleasure. With practical advice and shared vulnerabilities, this episode promises a welcoming space for the curious, the seasoned, and everyone in between who seeks to understand the profound impact of kink on personal transformation and sexual empowerment. Ashley and Kyle guide us through this rich tapestry, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the nuanced world of kink and the liberation that comes with embracing our true desires.Support the show
