What if your sexual fantasies could be the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of your ego? 

Brace yourself for an intense discussion as I chat to with the captivating Artemisia de Vine, a former professional dominatrix and sex worker. 

We dive into the fascinating rabbit hole of sexual fantasies, exploring everything from the innocuous to the unconventional, and how they can be acknowledged and harnessed in a healthy manner for maximum pleasure.

Artemisia dissects the intricate relationship between our sexual fantasies and our ego, specifically focusing on the three 'S's of ego - self-identity, status, and self-worth. 

We ponder the concept of embodied play and talk about how forming an embodied relationship with desire can turn it into a beautiful ally. 

The conversation intensifies as we journey into our unconscious desires and analyze how our nervous system reacts to stress and trauma. Artemisia provides a unique perspective on how these automatic responses are actually tactics for self-preservation and how we can repurpose stories as a medium to prioritize our pleasure.

She also talks about "The deVinery Method", a system she designed to help with unlocking our sexual fantasies, as well as how understanding the three guards of ego can help us access and embrace our taboo fantasies. 

Our conversation also gravitates towards Artemisia’s personal experiences and insights, which shed light on the psychology behind our intimate yearnings. 

If you've ever been curious about the psychology behind fantasies or are looking for ways to bring your own fantasies to life, this episode is a must-listen.
