About this episode
What does being a sub mean, and how does this show up in sex? What if someone who identifies as a sub and wants their partner to be more dominant in the bedroom, how can they approach this? How can submissive folks stay in their identity or role while still initiating sex with their partners? Master teacher and return guest Orpheus Black addresses all this and so much more.

About our guest: Orpheus aims to propel the intellectual and sensual evolution of masculinity both by challenging men to reconnect with its roots and by inviting them to embrace manhood in its fullness, the way strong modern men wish it to be. In this role, he shares insights, offers tools, and speaks against societal norms of shame and repression. He does it all with the earnestness of a therapist, the knowledge of a guru, and the charisma of a stage performer.
With a helpful practice steeped in spirituality and intimacy, Orpheus is a living bridge between healthy sex and enlightenment. Through a balanced integration of Afro-Buddhism, psycho-sensuality, and Taoist teachings popularized by the martial arts, his light-hearted lessons have become sought after internationally, even as counsel to the experts in his field. As a result, many today look to him as the “coach’s coach”. For groups, couples and individuals looking for a deeper exploration of self, shadow, kink, dominance and submission Orpheus Black regularly provides guided lessons at world famous staples in the S&M community and offers private coaching sessions.
