#38 Reclaiming Desire: Helen on Sexless Marriage, CNM & the Power of Submission

What happens when repression breaks open into erotic freedom?

In this episode of The Erotic Realm, we meet HelenATL — a submissive and self-described seeker of “erotic intensity.” From a shocking electric chair scene in the 90s to the reawakening of her sexuality after decades of silence, Helen’s story shows us the risks, rewards, and realities of living authentically.

We discuss:

  • How yoga and kink reawakened her erotic self after repression.

  • The challenges and transformations of opening a long-term marriage.

  • “Erotic intensity” as a personal kink and altered state of consciousness.

  • What research tells us about CNM satisfaction.

  • Advice for those in sexless marriages yearning for integrity and desire.

and much more!
