In this episode, I explore the archetype of the 'Lover' in BDSM relationships. While the word 'Lover' often conjures up images of passion and romance, in BDSM, it encompasses so much more: empathy, connection, innocent energy, vulnerability, and ego.

But the Lover archetype isn’t all light. It also has a shadow side—the Addict, the Disconnector, the Nihilist. Together, we’ll explore these dimensions and challenge the stereotypes prevalent in the gay fetish scene. I’ll guide you through ways to communicate for deeper, more meaningful connections, moving beyond the often celebrated hardness and alphaness to embrace both strength and vulnerability.

Join me in this call to connect with tenderness, push boundaries, and foster an authentic experience that goes beyond the surface.
