What happens when philosophy meets BDSM?

In this episode, writer and Dominant Athos Khan joins M to explore the intimate architecture of power, devotion, and consciousness inside monogamous kink.

We discuss:

• The Jungian concept of “making the darkness conscious” through BDSM.

• Monogamy as a site for transformation, not limitation.

• The flow state of dominance — where eroticism becomes meditation.

• The archetypes that shape desire and relationship roles.

• Emotional vs. sexual free use and what gendered desire reveals about intimacy.
