#25 The Psychology of Erotica: Aurore on Writing Desire, Healing Shame & Feminist Submission

Why do we write what we desire?

In this literary deep-dive, Carly — founder of Aurore — joins me to explore erotic storytelling as a path to self-discovery, healing, and expression.

We discuss:

  • The transition from dominance to submission
  • Reclaiming power after abuse
  • Feminism, shame & desire
  • The psychology behind erotic writing
  • AURORE’s birth as a confessional community

Research Article: Relationship between Sexual Fantasy, Sexual Communication, Personality Traits and Sexual Satisfaction in Married Individuals.
