How To Ease Into Kink: From talking about talking about it, to getting a dominatrix action figure in your own likeness

Today's episode addresses a listener question on how to consider what kink might have to offer them, particularly after a shame-based history around sex from a strict religious upbringing.  We bring in shrinky topics like staying within a "window of tolerance" (maybe a tiny bit edgy but very close to the sphere of what feels safe and familiar at first) when expanding after the constriction of a traumatic experience, while also defining some of the basics of what is often considered the realm of kink for those who might be interested but may not have much context.  We also talk about shame in general, and how kink can be a powerful way to interrogate shame-based narratives around sex that have been loaded on so many of us over the course of our upbringings.Send your questions to us at: https://ouremotionalphysics.com/contact Find us on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/emotionalphysicspodcast
