Erotic Powerplay Fantasies Are Emotionally Charged!

 

They can even lead to transformational and healing experiences, where you move from a lower state of consciousness to a higher, more integrated and aware one. With the right partner, the experiences can be very fulfilling, creating a greater sense of intimacy and connection.

Ds fantasies can be gates for entering deep, archetypal realms and processes, and for accessing altered states of consciousness.

 

But, Dominant and Submissive Fantasies Can Be Problematic!

• Difficulties Finding a Partner:
  Often it is difficult to find a compatible or understanding partner. Because of the associated stigma, it is also difficult to find confidants who are like-minded.

• Difficulties with Prejudice:
  Most of all, because society holds such a deep prejudice against those who engage in powerplay fantasies and activities, almost every person with such experiences has some conflicted feelings. Traditionally, the field of psychology has considered the more intense sides of powerplay to be indications of mental illness, although more recent research demonstrates that Ds and SM fantasies are not pathological per se. Research also shows that people who are involved in the Ds/SM community are much more comfortable with their submissive and dominant feelings in general.
