  1. Dopamine and Desire: Understanding Pleasure Pathways

    JAN 27

    Dopamine and Desire: Understanding Pleasure Pathways

    Dopamine and Desire: Understanding Pleasure Pathways What if pain isn’t just pain—and pleasure isn’t always what we think? In the world of BDSM, the lines between agony and ecstasy blur in ways neuroscience is only beginning to explain. Join us as groundbreaking sex researcher Nishita Rao unpacks the neurobiology of kink, revealing how your brain processes pain, power, and pleasure. In this episode of Kink Your Way, host Leann Herron engages with sex researcher Nishita Rao to explore the complex neurobiology of BDSM, focusing on how the brain processes pain and pleasure. They discuss the role of dopamine in reward pathways, the significance of the amygdala in evaluating stimuli, and how context influences the perception of pain in BDSM. The conversation highlights the intricate relationship between pain and pleasure, emphasizing that BDSM experiences are not merely physical but deeply psychological and contextual. Key Takeaways: Pain and pleasure are not binary; they can overlap. Dopamine plays a crucial role in motivation and reward anticipation. The brain's response to stimuli is context-dependent. The amygdala evaluates the relevance of stimuli based on past experiences. BDSM can transform pain into pleasure through established trust and consent. Understanding the neurobiology of kink can enhance sexual experiences. Anticipation heightens the experience of pleasure in BDSM. Different types of pain (sharp, dull, emotional) affect perception differently. The brain's pathways for pain and pleasure are interconnected. 🕛 Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Dopamine and Desire with Nishita Rao 02:07 Disclaimers 03:27 Understanding Pleasure Pathways in the Brain 11:35 The Role of Dopamine in Reward and Anticipation 17:49 The Amygdala: More Than Just Fear 24:03 Contextualizing Pain in BDSM 34:44 The Neurobiology of Pain and Pleasure in BDSM Episode Resources: Guest: Nishita Rao Nishita Rao is the First and only Indian to become an AASECT Certified Sex Educator.

    Navigating Kinky, Non-Monogamous, and Lifestyle Relationships

    Navigating Kinky, Non-Monogamous, and Lifestyle Relationships What does it really take to build healthy, shame-free, and joy-filled relationships in kink, non-monogamy, and lifestyle spaces? In this episode of Kink Your Way, I’m joined by Dr. Ashley—Sexologist, Relationship Coach, and proud member of the kink and swinging lifestyle communities. With nearly two decades of experience and a “no-nonsense, don’t f*** around” approach, Dr. Ashley helps individuals and couples break free from shame, guilt, and unhealthy control to create relationships rooted in authenticity and joy. We explore what it really takes to navigate kinky and non-monogamous dynamics, how to deconstruct sex-negative narratives, and why communication and self-knowledge are at the heart of every healthy relationship. Dr. Ashley also shares how her own journey of sexual liberation, survivorship, and mental health advocacy informs her coaching practice. If you’ve ever wondered how to move through stigma, set boundaries, and build thriving relationships in lifestyle communities, this conversation is for you. Key Moments We Discussed Dr. Ashley shares how her journey of sexual liberation, survivorship, and healing informs her coaching. I reflect on my own journey within the kink lifestyle and how those experiences shape my coaching approach. We talk about how it’s absolutely possible to have children and balance lifestyle relationships. Dr. Ashley unpacks how shame and guilt often show up in kinky and non-monogamous relationships, holding people back from full self-expression. She offers her best advice for newcomers to lifestyle dynamics—emphasizing communication, education, exploring proactively instead of reactively, clear boundaries, and pacing yourself. I share my experiences with my introduction to kink, finding community, and exploring different roles. We explore how power dynamics shift across all types of relationships. Together, we discuss the unique challenges kinky and non-monogamous couples face compared to traditional monogamous ones, including jealousy, multiple desires, and agreements—while showing how communication is key. We highlight the importance of realizing you don’t need to be everything for your partner. Dr. Ashley outlines supportive tools for trauma survivors such as coaching, therapy, education, community, and self-awareness practices. I share my own healing as a trauma survivor and how kink gave me empowerment through choice and control. Dr. Ashley challenges the myth that kink or non-monogamy leads to unstable relationships, stressing that intentionality and honesty build success. She speaks openly about living with Bipolar and ADHD, and how her transparency helps clients see that thriving relationships are possible. We close with a discussion on how stigma, slut-shaming, and sex-negative narratives continue to impact lifestyle communities—and how breaking them down creates true freedom.

Learn about codependency in relationships and how understanding these patterns can lead to deeper healing and self-awareness. Discover how to set boundaries and prioritize self love in your power exchange. Cheryl shares her journey into this work and introduces us to her Conscious Codependence™ methodology—a powerful blend of somatic experiencing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and intersubjective meditation. “The practice of true intimacy & sovereignty is to expose our open heart and broken heart at the exact same time. As we move through the process of returning back to ourselves, we find that the safety to do so lies within.” – C. Fidelman We discussed: ✅ Cheryl's mission, passion, and purpose to help people come back into their body. ✅ Codependency versus conscious choice. ✅ Cheryl's journey into this work, her traumatic identity. ✅ Conscious choice for healing and in relationships. ✅ Developing a self, a voice, an identity, after codependency. ✅ What Conscious Codependence™ really means and how it differs from traditional definitions. ✅Being in our emotions and sensations, where we can surrender and receive. ✅ Conscious choice in kink and BDSM. ✅ The 3 Codes to Clear Codependency (see free gift) - the framework of the conscious codependency process for codependency in general and in the kink world. ✅ How codependent patterns often play out in kink dynamics.
