That’s the claim in an article that’s been making the rounds—and it’s being defended in ways that raise even more questions.

In this episode, we break down the idea that trust matters more than consent, the push toward “uninformed consent,” and the suggestion that deeper experiences come from knowing less. We also dig into what informed consent actually means, how power exchange really works, and why removing information doesn’t create depth—it increases risk.

If consent is being framed as a barrier, it’s worth slowing down and looking at what’s really being said.

“If you want to be a good Dom, you should be a sub first.”

You’ve heard it. A lot.

In this episode, we’re unpacking where that advice comes from, what it gets right, and where it completely misses the mark. Because understanding your partner matters—but forcing yourself into a role that isn’t yours isn’t the answer.

Let’s talk about what actually makes someone a better Dom.

Are there gendered assumptions in kink?

We like to think the answer is no. That everything is negotiated, intentional, chosen. But in reality, a lot gets decided before the conversation even starts.

In this episode, we’re looking at how those unspoken ideas shape power exchange—who gets taken seriously, who gets questioned, and who is given authority without earning it.

Because if roles are being decided before they’re even discussed… that’s expectation, not choice.
