VMAP - BDSM in Power Exchange Pt 3 - Opponent Process - S02E03
As we explore the tidal forces that drive some of us to want or crave control, physical pain, confinement, restraint, emotional pain, or humiliation, we focus in this episode on Opponent process. Opponent process is a mysterious and seemingly contradictory psychological process that may be one reason we can come to want and need pain.

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.
