The Erotic Realm podcast explores eroticism in all its forms, including the darker desires of BDSM and kinky sexuality. It’s mission is to humanise eroticism one erotic realm at a time.
In this episode I’m joined by Amanda Dames, The Kink Consultant, to explore the psychology of mismatched desire, sexual compatibility and kink in relationships.
We explore:
What mismatched sexual desire looks like inside relationships.
Why telling our partner what we really want can feel extraordinarily vulnerable.
Whether an apparent “low desire” partner might simply not be having the kind of sex that activates their desire.
What BDSM and kink can teach conventional couples about negotiating desire, boundaries and consent.
The surprisingly complicated question: is sex actually a need?
