We discuss:
- What it means to be a switch in BDSM and the freedom of role fluidity
- Mindfucking and psychological dominance as erotic tools
- The inherited lineage of kink when your mother is also in the scene
- How switching fosters deeper erotic self-knowledge
- Common misconceptions about switches—and how Lou navigates them
- Her approach to reading a partner’s readiness in dominance
- The power of submission in unlocking hidden parts of self
