‘ A good portion of people utilize BDSM as a subset of trauma therapy for them to take control over ‘ x ’ traumatic events ’

trauma therapy for them to take control over ‘ x ’ traumatic events . An example would be a sexual abuse survivor enjoying CNC play . They are the ones rewiring their brain to overpower that traumatic event for them .
2 . Escapism . There are so many people who mask in their everyday lives , who need something that will add variety . Many people use BDSM as an escape from what they perceive as “ normal ”.
3 . Biology . There have been a number of systematic studies of “ your brain on BDSM ”. ( I also have a lesson about this !) Your brain can literally change when exploring BDSM . There are surges of cortisol , endorphins , adrenaline , dopamine , and more . The more you chase these pleasure filled activities , the more your brain is being wired to enjoy it . Studies normally say that it is a mixture of psychological , and social , and biological mixes that create the kinky you !
PD : Is there anything that You haven ’ t done within the BDSM world that You wish to ?
Oh there are lots ! I am in the process of opening up a Dungeon in My local area with a dear friend because we are so determined to help mend the brokenness in this community . We are still in the early stages and looking for investors , but it ’ s still a large , obtainable goal for Me . I ’ d love to take that overseas to the UK as well ! I want to perform , and lecture on a larger scale . I also am really fascinated about electrostim !
PD : How do You feel about the way that Pro-Dommes and BDSM in general get portrayed in the media ?
