Om Rupani, a renowned BDSM & tantra educator and author, sheds light on an intriguing perspective regarding the dynamics between men and women. In his thought-provoking insights, Om explores the notion that both genders are yet to fully grasp their roles in creating a nurturing and balanced relationship. During this heated discussion, you will hear Leah and Willow agree and disagree with what Om is trying to convey when he speaks of men not knowing how to hold a container for women and women not knowing how to care for men’s hearts.  

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Om reveals the role men play in relationships—the concept of 'containment'. Describing how men need to hold a solid emotional and energetic space for women, an aspect often overlooked.
• Om introduces the fundamental elements of 'dominance' and 'submission.' A provocative discourse shedding light on men as natural dominants and women as natural submissives.
• We debate on the cultural biases against men—the statement that many women's visions of men are damaged and they don't genuinely see men led to a lively discussion about assumptions and stereotypes.
• Tips for long-term relationships: how to shift perceptions, drop antagonism, and foster agreement.

Stefani Goerlich, professor, author of “Sprinkles,” & a sex therapist, discusses her journey into the field of sexuality, working with students & patients. In this conversation, Stefani Goerlich discusses that while kink & BDSM have become more mainstream in recent years, many "vanilla" people still find the concept off-putting or disturbing. However, consensual exploration of power dynamics & erotic psychology can profoundly deepen intimate connections in relationships. She shares a powerful story of helping a couple navigate the difference between consensual kink & abuse. 

TAKEAWAYS

• Understanding what is normal and healthy in relationships requires unlearning societal biases.
• Consensual kink and BDSM can be misunderstood and stigmatized, but it is important to differentiate between consensual kink and abuse.
• Maintaining boundaries as a sex therapist is crucial to ensure the therapeutic relationship is not influenced by personal experiences or biases.
• Exploring & striving to understand each person’s erotic identity is important for couples with differing desire levels. 
• When couples want to open their relationship, clarifying their motivations is important. 
• Partners supporting someone with trauma should reframe their role as holding space and providing support.
