VMAP - BDSM and Power Exchange - Part 2
The Chemistry: Opiates in your Brain
For BDSM and Power Exchange Part 1: • VMAP - BDSM in Power Exchange Pt 1 - Intro...
----------
What drives some of us to want or crave control, physical pain, confinement, restraint, emotional pain, or humiliation? We begin a close look at the tidal forces that lie beneath the desire for BDSM.
In the next several Episodes VMAP looks at the core link between BDSM and Power Exchange, starting by understanding what BDSM is, and the needs that drive it.
----------
ABOUT VMAP
VMAP is an educational project of Modern Power Exchange which focuses on a healthy, consensual, scientific, sex-positive approach to Power Exchange in human relationships.
Not a course on BDSM or sex, VMAP is focused on people who may have seen Fifty Shades of Grey or other media, but don't know how to bridge the gap between fiction and a real lifestyle, as well as those who already practice Power Exchange and want help making it work better.
