In this compelling interview from “The Sensual Underground Podcast,” Ildiko Csamay sits down with Eric to ask him to dive deep into the philosophy and practice of conscious dominance, the DSRX relationship model, and the beautiful paradoxes inherent in power dynamics and committed relationships. Originally aired as part of her "Dominant Men" series, this powerful interview showcases Ildiko's skillful exploration of conscious masculinity and leadership with depth and curiosity.

Under Ildiko's thoughtful questioning, Eric shares his personal journey from mainstream BDSM into developing a more nuanced approach that honors both dominance and the full spectrum of feminine energy, creating space for growth, vulnerability, and authentic connection. Throughout the episode, Ildiko expertly hosts and guides Eric through explorations of how conscious dominance differs from reactive control, the importance of situational awareness in leadership, and how true polarity creates freedom rather than limitation. Ildiko leads them through discussions about the craft of hosting experiences, the role of devotion and service in relationships, and how embracing paradox—including moments of uncertainty and "retrograde" phases—can lead to deeper intimacy and personal evolution.

This episode offers profound insights for anyone interested in conscious relationship dynamics, authentic masculinity, and the transformative power of intentional power exchange.

About Conscious Dominance

The Conscious Dominance podcast was born from weekly conversations between two friends, Andrew & Eric.

Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men. And in those conversations, we realized how much other men might benefit from being let in on these conversations. So we started recording them for you.
