In this episode of BDSM Reimagined, Michael speaks about his latest therapy session where he encounters his inner child. He talks about how he's been working on understanding the parts of him that make it tough to really connect or stay in the moment when things get sexual or intimate. He also shares a curious similarity he noticed with a recent submissive he met, and how at times, it reminded him of the therapy work he's been doing.

In Part 1 of this episode, Michael explores the current conditions that are leading him to flirt with the idea, and at times enact, paying men for sex - in particular straight men. He speaks about why it is straight men that activate him, the difficulty of finding someone into the same kinks, the burden he feels he puts on others for wanting what he desires, and also explores how he is shocked that people actually want to be sexual with him at all. Originally released a week later, but now included as one, Part 2 explores a further dimension of this behaviour. Michael speaks about how a recent break up has lead him to have lower moods making him more inclined to do things he feels he would not normally do. He also speculates that the urge to pay men could be an indicator to his own needs not being met. The space he pays for is a place he could satisfy his needs without feeling guilt.

The philosopher Baruch Spinoza, in his Tractatus de Intellectus Emendatione, wrote: "For as far as sensual pleasure is concerned, the mind is so caught up in it, as if at peace in a [true] good, that it is quite prevented from thinking of anything else. But after the enjoyment of sensual pleasure is passed, the greatest sadness follows. If this does not completely engross, still it thoroughly confuses and dulls the mind." Arthur Schopenhauer, writing later on the phenomenon, observed that "directly after copulation the devil's laughter is heard." In this episode, Michael aims to further explore aspects of his sexual life, documenting areas that can become obstacles. Here, he shares his experiences living with Postcoital Dysphoria (PCD). While he has previously discussed this topic in earlier seasons (S1E5 Extras), he goes into more detail here. Study: One study (1) reported that among a sample of 1208 male participants, 40% of them had experienced PCT at least once in their lifetime and 20% reported experiencing PCT in the four weeks preceding the study. This study also reports that 3–4% of the sample experienced PCT symptoms on a regular basis. (1) Maczkowiack, Joel; Schweitzer, Robert D.

Of course, I'll adjust for British spelling and provide a bit more detail: In this remarkable episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Phil. Phil is the accomplished author of the new book titled "Light and Shadow: The Psychology of Master/slave Relationships". Drawing from his vast experience as a practitioner and coach in the realm of D/s dynamics, Phil delves deeply into his beliefs and the frameworks he advocates for, enriching these relationships. I would wholeheartedly recommend his book. It's not just a trove of insightful knowledge, but also offers tangible, practical methods for implementation. In addition to his book, Phil is the brains behind the website, masterslavelifestyle.com. For those who podcasts, he also hosts his own available under the same name. It's my sincere hope that this episode offers listeners a new refreshing way to enhance their understanding of kink.
