Are you ready to get down and nerdy with me? Good! And yes, you read the episode number right... I had a brain malfunction and skipped 37, so we are looping back around! In this episode, I take you on a deep dive discussion on the neuroscience of BDSM, the theories behind what makes kink and BDSM a positive experience to those who seek the endorphin rush, as well as the case studies around the prevalence of kink and BDSM today. Class is now in session!
