Fantasizing about Past Experiences
Some people reflect on past experiences with ex-partners, often triggered by memories or emotions from those relationships. Although these thoughts may arise, it doesn't necessarily mean a desire to reunite. Acknowledging these memories helps in understanding personal growth.
Exploring Praise Kink
Having a praise kink, which involves being turned on or aroused by receiving verbal compliments or approval, is common. Compliments, especially those related to sexual desirability, can enhance confidence and emotional connection between partners. Understanding and expressing one's love language, like needing affirmations, can improve relationship dynamics.
Core Erotic Desires and Praise Kink
Core erotic desires, rooted in individual experiences and triggers, shape sexual responses and motivations beyond just physical pleasure. These desires can be connected to past experiences, such as needing affirmation or feeling special. Identifying and embracing core erotic desires can enhance confidence and intimacy.
Embracing Sexual Fantasies
Exploring sexual fantasies and desires, whether related to partner history or being aroused by certain scenarios, is a natural part of sexual expression. Open communication with a partner about fantasies can strengthen trust and intimacy, leading to shared experiences that deepen connection and mutual pleasure.
What feeling are you chasing in bed? No, I’m not talking about orgasm. I’m talking about an emotion, like feeling worshiped, praised, or unbelievably desirable. On the other hand, maybe it arouses you to feel degraded, objectified – even humiliated. On today’s show, I’m unpacking a kink that’s getting a ton of attention lately on social media: praise kink. It falls under the larger umbrella of core erotic desires, which we all have. I show you how to identify your core erotic desires and how to turn them into realities. I also get into your kinky questions, including: when you adore your fiancée, but fantasize about sex with your much kinkier ex, what now? And when your partner constantly gets hit on my other men, is it healthy to get turned on by it? All this and more in today's episode.
