Today on the show we welcome Laurie Handlers, Sex and Happiness Coach, and Om Rupani, practitioner and teacher of the D/S arts, for an in-depth conversation on the crossroads of tantra and BDSM. We cover the profound healing of surrendering to our pleasure, the language and parameters of consensual D/S play, and why today's cultural climate towards polarity is killing our sex drive. This is an episode that will empower you to learn what you want in a sexual relationship and to not be afraid to ask for it.

Laurie Handlers and Om Rupani create a permission field in which the people can discover a greater YES for their being, their desires, their Eros. No aspect of our being has been more shunned by society, more relegated to second class status than our Eros—especially the so-called darker aspects of our Eros.

She offers sexual health and awareness courses for corporations and individuals throughout the world. For over a decade, she's hosted a weekly radio show "Sex and Happiness." She has produced and starred in three independent award winning films. Also, she is a Lead Faculty member for ISTA. Her other major passion is Radical Life Extension.
