What does it mean to be sadistic, dominant, and deeply ethical all at once?

In this episode I speak with Endless, a queer, non-binary Master who explores kink through the lenses of gender, psychology, and power. From religious deconstruction to their embrace of swinging, sadism, and relationship anarchy, Endless shares how their erotic self was reclaimed- not despite their complexity, but because of it.

We explore:

• The psychology of consensual sadism vs. everyday cruelty
• How gender fluidity and queerness shape their dominance
• Their desire for hypnosis and mental control in kink
• Navigating fear, fantasy, and performance anxiety
• The lasting impact of religious shame on erotic freedom
