EP6: Are You Tall Enough to Ride? The 3 Height Checks Before You Enter High-Stakes Kink

Most people don't get hurt in kink because someone was malicious. They get hurt because their internal safety systems weren't built for the load. This episode is where the audit turns inward.

What's covered:

• Why wanting the ride has nothing to do with being ready for it
• The amusement park framework: readiness as a structural issue, not a moral one
• 3 Height Checks before you get on any filthy, fun, sexy ride.
• Why most people collapse at check #3, and why that's a training problem, not a character flaw
• Why practicing discernment in the wrong environments builds danger, not skill
• What readiness actually is (it's calibration, not bravery)
