DSRX #042—BEYOND THE STEREOTYPE: AUTHENTICITY IN DOMINANCE AND SUBMISSION - S4 E6 - w/ Andrew from Infinite Devotion (Dom Sub Devotion)
In this episode of CONSCIOUS DOMINANCE, Eric and Andrew discuss the importance of authenticity in dominance and submission relationships. They explore how many people feel pressured to conform to stereotypical BDSM roles rather than developing authentic power dynamics that truly reflect their values and personalities.
The conversation delves into how true DS relationships aren't about controlling outward appearances or forcing stereotypical dynamics, but rather building deep trust, vulnerability, and mutual respect. Learn how to navigate challenges in power dynamics when both partners have strong personalities and professional ambitions. This episode offers valuable insights for those seeking to develop conscious dominance beyond the stereotypes, focusing on integrity, authenticity, and the courage to question your own premises about what dominance and submission can look like in a real, loving relationship.
About Conscious Dominance
The Conscious Dominance podcast was born from weekly conversations between two friends, Andrew & Eric.
Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men. And in those conversations, we realized how much other men might benefit from being let in on these conversations. So we started recording them for you.
