What follows is a depth psychological exploration of modern intentionally transgressive sexualities. Sometimes referred to as radical sexualities or alternative sexualities, these terms refer to a range of activities and relationships that are interrelated in some combination of eroticism, sexual expression, and a structured imbalance of authority.” — Douglas Thomas References: https://www.drdouglasthomas.com The Deep Psychology of BDSM and Kink: Jungian and Archetypal Perspectives on the Soul’s Transgressive Necessities Pillion (2025) ___________________________ 🔥 SUPPORT & SOUL WORK Join the pack on Patreon: http://patreon.com/howlinthewilderness Depth Counseling with Brian James: http://brianjames.ca Archetypal Men’s Coaching Program…
