Show Notes
Gula says that the body was her first language. And after this conversation, I understand exactly what she means. She moves through life like an artist, through sensation, tension, instinct, energy, and everything that exists before words. We talk about the little girl who wanted to be seen, the performer who found different versions of herself onstage, and the woman who discovered that the body often knows the truth long before the mind is ready to accept it. We speak about power, pleasure, shame, queerness, dominance, kink, BDSM, and the strange edge where fear, curiosity, and desire meet. Gula shares all of it with a rare kind of openness, soft, intense, vulnerable, and completely her own. This episode is not only a story about becoming an artist, a performer, or a dominant woman. It is about learning how to listen when your body speaks.

Content warning: This episode includes discussions of sexual assault, severe physical violence, and psychological abuse. What happens when a Boss Babe who spent her life in control meets a man who knows exactly how to take the lead? Before becoming the couple they are today, Rex and Rebelle spent years exploring their sexuality, questioning their own desires, and figuring out where dominance and submission fit into their lives. We talked about their early experiences with kink, the psychology of power exchange, and how easily excitement and trust can blur our sense of danger. Along the way, Rebelle shared a deeply painful experience that she rarely speaks about publicly, bringing a very personal perspective to our conversation about consent, trust, and the difference between kink and abuse. Enjoy the first part of my interview with Rex and Rebelle.
A man can be confident, successful, masculine, and still want to give someone else control. And somehow, the moment he does, we start looking for an explanation. Is it about power? Relief from control? Vulnerability? Humiliation? Trust? Or have we simply decided that surrender needs a deeper psychological reason when it comes from a man? I’ve been reading the research, but I’ve also been exploring this personally from the other side, as the woman they submit to. This episode is about what I found there: the strange relationship between masculinity and control, what surrender can give someone, where shame enters the picture, and why sometimes we should stop trying to explain desire into something more acceptable.
What happens when kink becomes part of your relationships, your work, your art, basically, your life? In this episode, I’m talking to Flame about the experiences that shaped him: a pretty fucked-up childhood, abusive relationships, power, submission, desire, and growing up thinking that some parts of himself were wrong. We also talk about porn, not just fucking in front of a camera, but how you actually make it, turn it into a real business, understand what people want to watch, and still create something that turns you on. And then there is art: Shibari, performance, paint, and a human body literally becoming a paintbrush. There’s a lot in this conversation, including some very vulnerable stories. So enjoy it and meet Flame.
Part Two of my conversation with psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Elise Wuyts gets a little more personal. We talk about how context can completely change the way our brain experiences the same sensation, why fear can feel good when we choose it, why stress isn’t always the enemy, what humiliation actually plays with psychologically, and what science knows about subspace. And somewhere along the way, the roles switch a little. Elise starts asking me questions, and I end up sharing some of my own experiences with fear, altered states, submission, dominance, and being a switch. A conversation about the brain, power, context , and why what we want is rarely as contradictory as it seems. Enjoy!
What actually happens in the body during BDSM? Why was it pathologized for so long, and how much of that thinking is still hiding inside modern psychiatry? In part one of my conversation with psychiatrist and BDSM researcher Dr. Elise Wuyts, we talk about her work in forensic psychiatry, how she went from seeing BDSM as something strange and unfamiliar to studying it scientifically, and what she discovered while collecting biological data during real BDSM scenes. This is part one of our conversation. Part two is coming next. Enjoy! And follow us on Instagram
