  • #43 The Monogamous Dominant: Athos Khan on Jung, Darkness & the Architecture of Intimacy
    Oct 28 2025

    What happens when philosophy meets BDSM?

    In this episode, writer and Dominant Athos Khan joins M to explore the intimate architecture of power, devotion, and consciousness inside monogamous kink.

    We discuss:

    • The Jungian concept of “making the darkness conscious” through BDSM.

    • Monogamy as a site for transformation, not limitation.

    • The flow state of dominance — where eroticism becomes meditation.

    • The archetypes that shape desire and relationship roles.

    • Emotional vs. sexual free use and what gendered desire reveals about intimacy.

    • Post-menopause sexuality as an erotic awakening.
    • Cuckolding as intimacy, not humiliation.
    • How kink became a tool for healing after trauma.

  • #37 From Pro-Domme to Submissive: Valkyrie on Regression, ABDL & Self-Domination
    Sep 16 2025

    Why do people eroticize regression, petplay, and degradation — and what does it mean to be your own Dom?

    In this episode, Valkyrie shares her journey from Pro-Domme to submissive pet. We explore the misunderstood kinks of ABDL, degradation, and regression, and end with her powerful reflection on self-domination.

    You’ll hear about:

    • How she shifted from dominating others to surrendering herself — and what that taught her about power.
    • Petplay & ABDL: the emotional logic behind regression, care, and erotic release.
    • Degradation vs. liberation: when words sting, and when they open new erotic truths.
    • Why stigma around “dark” kinks often misses the intimacy behind them.
    • Valkyrie’s insight on being her own Dom — and why every submissive should cultivate inner authority.
