  • Call me baby but don't tell me what to do: exploring dualism and kink
    Jul 23 2024
    Pop culture's tendency to taboo and misrepresent kink creates cognitive dissonance, obstructing the understanding of these connections. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences, your host, Ayla, delves into the intricate connections between dualism and kink – two seemingly disparate concepts. Exploring the dynamics of her own relationships, and highlighting the notion of "baby steps" in embracing my sense of kink. She also explore what it is like embodying a duality that contrasts her desire for control in everyday life VS her preference for losing control in intimate settings. As we venture deeper, she will explore the intricate relationship between dualism and kink. Dualism, the belief in the coexistence of two aspects, resonates with the intricate nature of BDSM practices, where mind and body intertwine. We also bring focus to the influence of "50 Shades of Grey," a series that ignited both interest and damage within the kink community. Despite the challenges posed by mainstream narratives, Ayla highlights the role of education, exploration, and open communication in fostering a more enlightened perspective on kink and its relationship to the complexities of dualism.
