Why do people eroticize regression, petplay, and degradation — and what does it mean to be your own Dom?
In this episode, Valkyrie shares her journey from Pro-Domme to submissive pet. We explore the misunderstood kinks of ABDL, degradation, and regression, and end with her powerful reflection on self-domination.
You’ll hear about:
- How she shifted from dominating others to surrendering herself — and what that taught her about power.
- Petplay & ABDL: the emotional logic behind regression, care, and erotic release.
- Degradation vs. liberation: when words sting, and when they open new erotic truths.
- Why stigma around “dark” kinks often misses the intimacy behind them.
- Valkyrie’s insight on being her own Dom — and why every submissive should cultivate inner authority.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
