The Erotic Realm

In this episode I’m joined by Kritikl — a neurodivergent Dominant, sadist, rigger, and community space curator — to explore the intersection of autism, power, and desire.

What happens when a man’s desire to surrender clashes with everything he’s been taught about masculinity?
In this episode I’m joined by Jack — a submissive man, anthropologist, and writer — to explore the psychological tension between masculinity, shame, and submission.
We unpack how cultural expectations shape men’s relationship to control, performance, and sexuality — and what happens when those expectations no longer fit. Drawing on lived experience and sociological insight, this conversation explores how submission can become a site of authenticity rather than weakness.
We explore:
The conflict between masculinity and submission.
Shame, ejaculation, and the male erotic nervous system.
Female-led relationships and long-term D/s dynamics.
The difference between consent and compatibility.
How men can redefine power through surrender.

What happens when kink is built around people first and power second?
In this episode I’m joined by Master Cat NYC and Master Joshua NYC — leather educators and co-founders of The Kink Collective — to explore the psychology of ethical power in BDSM.
With decades of experience in kink and leather communities, they share how their understanding of dominance, identity, and responsibility has evolved — and why they centre their work around the principle of people before kink.
We explore:
Ethical dominance and responsibility in power exchange.
Leather culture and evolving erotic identity.
Consent as a form of liberation.
Triads, poly dynamics, and relational complexity.
Building kink communities rooted in care and accountability.

What if the problem isn’t sexual desire — but the shame surrounding it?
In this episode I’m joined by psychosexual and relationship therapist Silva Neves to explore one of the most misunderstood topics in modern sexuality: compulsive sexual behaviour.
Rather than framing sexual compulsivity as “sex addiction,” Silva’s work examines how sexuality can become intertwined with emotional regulation, identity, shame, and relational needs.
We explore:
Why many sexologists reject the “sex addiction” narrative.
How shame sustains compulsive sexual cycles.
The difference between high desire and genuine compulsivity.
Trauma, EMDR therapy, and erotic safety.
What sexual integration actually looks like in therapy.
