BDSM.
Did your mind automatically go where mine went? Leather, chains, a purpose-built basement, and a very expensive trip to Bunnings. I assumed this was an episode for other people. People with a whole lifestyle dedicated to it.
But, once again, I was proven wrong.

Mel dismantles basically every assumption I walked in with. We talk about what BDSM actually is (it’s a much wider spectrum than you think), why so many people are secretly turned on by power, restraint, or dominance and feel weirdly ashamed about it, and why the psychology behind it is genuinely fascinating. Like, the whole “dominant person in real life wants to submit in the bedroom” thing? Mel explains it so well.

We cover:

  • The beginner’s menu. What to try first. (It’s simpler than you think)

  • Whether blindfolds are the gateway drug.

  • How to have the consent conversation without it feeling like a workplace safety briefing

  • Aftercare. Nobody talks about it, but probably should

  • What to do when your fantasy is hotter in your head than in reality

  • And why “don’t start with a whip and a prayer” is solid advice

The episode is live early for you, right now, right here. Hit play. 👇
