530 – TOMA (When “Pain” Feels Good)

Warning: This episode contains frank discussion of sexuality and BDSM. Enter at your own risk!

What if what seems like pain to us is experienced as pleasurable — even necessary — to someone else? In this TOMA episode (the first in years!), I talk about a couple of relationships in which I had to face my incapacity to participate in someone else’s pain — even when their suffering is an important part of their journey, and they may even be “enjoying” it.
