Masculinity and Dominance - some say they cannot peacefully coexist. But the men and masc-identifying folks of the ask a sub discord community say different. These are their voices on a deeply important and under-discussed topic. Together let's explore the ways Dominance can transform toxic masculinty into mindful masculinity, and bring men and masculine people deep healing and joy.

It's official! Once we hit 2K subscribers on Patreon the Ask A Sub podcast is coming back full force! In the meantime I want to share a teaser of a series I'm doing for Patreon members called DEEP DIVE.  Deep Dive is a monthy series where I'll bring you deep conversations with luminaries in the kink and alternative sexuality communities, always with the focus of asking them educated, insider questions about their work. Not only are these interviews fun and informational, but with your support we're creating an oral history of kink at this moment in time. Exciting stuff! Pain is a sensation that is heavily stigmatized in our culture. It can be hard to understand why masochists do what they (we) do when you're working from that cultural understanding alone. Which is why I brought in Leigh Cowart, science reporter and self-proclaimed masochist, to explain to us not only why humans pursue pain on purpose, but how it all works in your brain and body. And they have all the answers, having written one of my favorite books on a kink-related topic, Hurts So Good: The Science And Culture Of Pain On Purpose. As as we put it in the interview, we're all just goopy primates trying to have some fun in our meat sacks. So cue up this interview and let the goop between your ears understand a little bit more about itself :) Sign up for patreon at http://www.patreon.com/askasub   To access the full length recording of this episode go here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/deep-dive-all-of-69147471 Socials / Links: http://www.instagram.com/voraciousbrain http://www.twitter.com/voraciousbrain

May's Deep Dive was with Shamanatrix Dia Dynasty, and William the founder of kink space Temple NYC. We talked about co-topping, their favorite scenes, why responsible tops love newbies, and how kink allows us to resist the influence of capitalism. They also invited us into the magical world of FemDom Farm, a kink-influenced commune-style space that is resurrecting the Matriarchy.
