What does it mean to love the fight AND the surrender?
In this raw and powerful episode of The Erotic Realm, I sit down with Tanya, a solo polyamorous kinkster, power bottom, smart ass masochist, brat, and primal prey living her truth 24/7. From early fantasies to full embodiment, Tanya shares her journey of self-discovery through impact play, exhibitionism, and high-intensity power dynamics.
We explore:
- The psychology of pain as pleasure, and how endorphins can shift perception
- Exhibitionism as liberation, and what it reveals about self-acceptance
- The delicate dance of fear, trust, and psychological safety in BDSM scenes
- How brattiness and resistance can intensify surrender
