@drsarahashton: Dominance and submission aren’t just about power—they’re about psychology, trust, and the nervous system. For some people, these dynamics allow old feelings of powerlessness to be reworked in a new, consensual, and pleasurable context. For others, it’s about surrendering responsibility, expressing different parts of themselves, or accessing adrenaline and excitement. When done safely and consensually, these experiences can involve deep trust, connection, and even oxytocin release. Sexual preferences often have psychological meaning—and understanding that can reduce shame and increase self-awareness.#psychology #trauma #sex #domination
