A speaker explores why people seek power through sexual role-play, arguing that power dynamics alone, without pain, can create intense erotic experience. Clear consent and rules matter most. It's a drug-free way to feel something real in private.
You know, searching for power, I think, is a fun one, because it's one that you can do a lot of roleplaying in, in terms of being the dominant or submission one. And as long as everyone kind of is understanding of what the rules are and whatnot, as you go into this sexual encounter, it's definitely something that can be free of drugs, can be free of, you know, you can do this in private places. Like, there's all these, these sort of benefits, I think, of trying to hijack this one for your eroticism is what I'm trying to say is like, how can you use searching for power or using power play in a way to get you into that erotic space. I'm no, I'm no expert on BDSM or anything like that. But a lot of the BDSM though, they are hijacking this idea of power, like who has the power within, within this relationship. And yes, there is some, you know, pain component of that. But I don't think there has to be. I think some of it can definitely just be psychological. It doesn't have to be actually pain related.
