The Kink Perspective ·

2025/03/03

On today’s episode, I discuss the fine line between validation and dependence in D/s relationships.

I explore how this happens, the impact on both submissives and Dominants, and what each can do to foster a healthier, more secure connection.Continue the discussion on
