#11 Shapeshifting Desire: Primal Play, BDSM as Healing, and the Erotic Self

8

What does it mean to be a shapeshifter in kink?
In this episode I explore with Kite, a primal, brat, little, and wolf whose erotic journey has been one of transformation and healing. We explore how BDSM can help rewrite personal narratives, offer deep emotional release, and unlock new levels of self-awareness.

We discuss:

  • The psychology of primal play, bratting, and sensation play.

  • BDSM as a tool for mental and emotional healing.

  • How playing with pain, power, and pleasure can reshape identity.

  • The scientific research on BDSM’s positive psychological effects.

  • Finding a kinky life partner and sharing intimate moments with the world.
