A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube episode in which Dave and Ashley Willis discuss risks around fetishes and role-playing in marriage. They warn that fetish practices (including BDSM) can become dangerous when one partner feels pressured to comply, and emphasize that the marital bed must remain the safest place for both partners; if either feels unsafe they should call a timeout and re-evaluate.

Fetishes and role playing can be a gateway to some really dangerous things.
Yeah, well, like, is it called. Am I saying this right? Bdsm?
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, in our culture, it is very pervasive. Like, well, if you're not scared or feeling dangerous in your sex life, what are you even doing? And it's usually one spouse really likes it, and the other just goes along with it.
Right.
And that is heartbreaking.
That dynamic is so hard because the one that's going along, you know, you're trying to, like, be there for your spouse, but the whole time you feel used or uncomfortable. Here's the bottom line. The marriage bed has to be the same, safest place on earth for both of you. Safe. And if either one of you feels unsafe at any time, then you have to completely just call a timeout, step back, and say, wait a second. We've got to. We've got to approach this in a different way.
