In this episode I’m joined by Katija Cortez — a submissive, content creator, and professional girlfriend — to explore female autonomy, sterilisation, and the psychology of erotic agency. We explore: Sterilisation and voluntary childlessness. Stigma, autonomy, and cultural expectations. Sex work, desire, and emotional connection. The paradox of being both sovereign and submissive.
