About this listen

What comes to mind when you hear “BDSM”? If all you picture is whips, nipple clamps, and leather spandex, you’re definitely not alone.

In this first episode of Love & the Layman, certified sex coach Samantha Raddock and her husband Jared break down what BDSM actually is — and more importantly, what it isn’t (hint: it’s not what movies make it look like).

From dominance and submission to flogging as foreplay, this conversation explores the real psychology behind desire and power dynamics. Is it about control, or is the pleasure found in consent, trust, and communication?

With grounded education, honest reactions, and zero judgment, this episode offers a smart, funny introduction to one of the most misunderstood topics in modern intimacy.

Afraid it might hurt? Relax — this one’s painless. Well… for everyone but Jared.

Press play. We’ve got you.
