#139 The Sassy Switch: Dominance, Submission, Gender & Kink Confidence with Sassy

What happens when discovering your dominant side completely changes the way you understand your submissive one?

In this episode of I'm joined by Sassy—Bethany Burgoyne—to explore switch psychology, dominance, submission, kink confidence and the freedom to let our erotic identities change.

We explore:

• The psychology of being a BDSM switch.
• Moving from submissive to dominant without losing submission.
• How dominance transformed Sassy's kink confidence.
• Sadism, sensual dominance and using power as an expression of care.
• Body confidence, gender expression and being a non-binary woman in kink.
• Shame, permission and communicating kink to new or vanilla partners.
• Queer kink communities, safeguarding and what they reveal about human desire.
• Why BDSM can be joyful, playful and full of laughter.
