Queer people grow up experiencing bullying at a higher rate than that of our peers. Could that be why some of us find ourselves turned on by consensual domination, degradation and humiliation play in the bedroom? In our spicy final episode of this season, Gabe and Chris welcome two kinky pleasure educators–submissive Bobby Box and dominant Dominion Onyx–to talk about dominance, submission, bullying, BDSM, and how and why people get into this fetish practice. Can playing this way help queer people turn past traumas into pure pleasure?
A Note From the Director, Adam Baran
We kicked off this season with a raunchy episode about cumdumps, and we’re going out the same way we came in: with a provocative episode about bullying in the bedroom or “degradation and humiliation” as it’s more commonly known. Our show this week features Gabe and Chris exploring domination, submission, humiliation and degradation play with two pleasure educators from different sides of the binary: submissive Bobby Boxx, and dominant sadist Dominion Onyx.
This episode spoke to my own interests— I enjoy when a self-identified “alpha” calls me a loser or a faggot during sex—but it’s also something that’s become more visible in online adult spaces recently. You’ll come across guys appearing in exposure videos, begging people to expose them as a loser or a faggot or some other term of dis-endearment. We have also seen the rise of the finsub/findom scene, in which dominants drain the bank accounts of their clients, a form of financial degradation, humiliation and dominance. These kinks are nothing new, they date back over a century and more. Our first guest, Bobby Box, breaks down what exactly is so alluring for submissives in these dynamics.
Dominion Onyx stopped by as our final guest for the season, and he did not disappoint. He shared wild and raunchy tales of his own journey as a sadist, and his adventures as part of the Black kink fraternity ONYX. Plus, a heavy amount of hilarious flirting with both Chris and Gabe, and of course, practical tips for anyone interested in playing as a dominant with submissives.
Gabe and Chris don’t bring this type of play into their own sex lives, but by the end of the episode they express a deeper understanding and appreciation of the way some people’s kinks really do stem from formative experiences like bullying. They discover, as you listeners hopefully will, that for some people, bringing these things into their sexual selves can help, if it’s done consensually and with a lot of conversation first.
This is our last episode of the season, and my last note as director of the series. I hope you’ve all enjoyed our amazing show and if you love it, please tell your friends, share on your socials, and keep spreading the word. See you all next season!
