Can BDSM strengthen a long-term relationship?
In this episode I chat with Karl, a submissive-leaning switch and primal masochist whose exploration of kink saved his 30-year marriage.
While remaining sexually monogamous with his wife, he has embraced BDSM as a way to express his true self, deepen intimacy, and bring new energy into their relationship.
We discuss:
- How kink transformed his marriage after 30 years.
- The balance between sexual monogamy and an open kink dynamic.
- The surprising parallels between martial arts and BDSM.
- The primal side of his sexuality, from wolfpacks to submission.
- The psychology of pain, submission, and personal transformation.
Research Paper:Relationship status rather than sociosexuality or sexual orientation predicts male sexual functioning.
