Episode 2.2: To Be Devoured: The Allure of Power and Pleasure in The Kiss of the Basilisk

Grab your headphones and maybe a glass of wine, because this week on The Intimacy Index, we’re sinking our teeth into Lindsay Straube’s The Kiss of the Basilisk — a dark, delicious story where danger feels a little too good to resist. We’re talking power, pleasure, and that irresistible pull between wanting to run and wanting to be caught. What does it really mean to be devoured — and who’s actually in control when things get spicy? Join us as we break down the fantasy, the fear, and the fun of dark romance — and maybe discover why letting go (safely!) can feel so damn powerful. Because at the end of the day, pleasure isn’t just about surrendering... it’s about knowing when to take the lead.Click the link for our socials, other streaming, and other affiliated links :) linktr.ee/the_intimacy_index_podcast
