<p>In this episode of Preconceived, Zale delves into the often misunderstood world of BDSM with guest Alicia Walker, an associate professor of sociology. They explore the complexities of bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism, discussing why these practices appeal to many, and how they contribute to personal happiness. Zale tries to understand why the idea of being humiliated would appeal to some, while the act of inflicting pain would appeal to others. Alicia shares lessons learned from researching and writing her latest book, 'Bound by BDSM'. </p><br><p><strong>Bound by BDSM - </strong>https://www.bloomsbury.com/ca/bound-by-bdsm-9798881803032/</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
