The Kink Perspective ·

2022/10/25

On this episode, I delve into the subject that I have seen floating around social that a Dominant needs to take on and be the emotional balance, anchor and center for a submissive in a D/s relationship. That a submissive needs a Dominant to define their self-worth and value, instead of figuring that out for themselves. This creates dependency and an unhealthy relationship dynamic that would be destined to crumble. I discuss why Dominants are not emotional counterweights and more... If you are

While dismissing meritocracy in the name of inclusivity and diversity and equity, because conformity is what they are after while suppressing types of speech. This is not inclusive, and goes against some of the fundamentals of what BDSM is about. If you are looking to speak with someone that is kink friendly,
