Are you a Nice Guy or Bad Boy? Today’s guest, legendary Dom Om Rupani says they are both distortions of the masculine. Buckle up for some edgy gender politics as Madeline and Eamon get a masterclass in polarity, containment and what it really takes to become an integrated man and a good Dom.

In today’s conversation they discuss D/s archetypes and the importance of training and containment in power exchange. It gets spicy with a conversation on why women can’t train their men (unless they’re professionals), and whether egalitarianism really works in relationships. Om makes a compelling case that you can’t perfect a man by criticizing him and teaches how men can move from Nice Guy Syndrome into true masculine integration through kink.

Om Rupani is a master Dom based in New York City with decades of experience at the intersection of Tantra and BDSM. He’s the author of Prerequisites to Ecstasy and the creator of courses like The Dominant Man and Tantra Meets BDSM. He also runs The Modern Priestess of Eros, a six-month immersive designed to train professional Dommes. Whether you’re new to kink or a seasoned player, Om’s insights cut straight to the heart of what it means to embody power, intimacy, and integrity.
