In this episode I chat with sex therapist and Shibari practitioner Julieta Chiara to explore the psychology of submission, women's desire, erotic permission, and the transformative power of saying "yes" to yourself. We explore: Women's desire and sexual permission. Submission and empowerment. Shibari and Japanese rope bondage. Why "your first Dom is you". Pain, presence, and transformation.
