In this episode of The Erotic Realm Podcast, I sit down with Ancilla, a 33-year-old polyamorous writer, masochist, and slave who has dedicated her life to exploring power exchange, pain, and the art of kink education. Ancilla’s journey intersects with her roles as a emotional masochist, and educator, creating a deeply personal and transformative story.
We discuss:
The strength in submission and what it means to her as a slave.
The psychology of pain and how masochism connects to altered states and self-discovery.
Her groundbreaking Sextbook Initiative and its mission to make kink education accessible and actionable.
Balancing feminism and masochism in the kink world.
And much more...
