#124 The Psychology of Sacred Kink: BDSM, Spirituality & Ritual with Melissa M. Wilcox

What if some BDSM experiences aren't simply erotic—but sacred?

In this episode I explore with scholar Melissa M. Wilcox about the fascinating intersection of BDSM, spirituality, religion, ritual and sexuality.

We explore:

  • Ritual, surrender and meaning within BDSM.
  • The historical relationship between religion, pain and self-flagellation.
  • What makes an experience feel sacred.
  • Melissa's research process for Devotions.
  • Feminist Wicca, LGBTQ+ Christianity and Melissa's academic journey.
  • Why human beings create rituals in the first place.
