Is Consent Limiting BDSM? - Episode 268

About this episode

The episode discusses the controversial claim that trust is more important than consent in BDSM practices.

That’s the claim in an article that’s been making the rounds—and it’s being defended in ways that raise even more questions. In this episode, we break down the idea that trust matters more than consent, the push toward “uninformed consent,” and the suggestion that deeper experiences come from knowing less. We also dig into what informed consent actually means, how power exchange really works, and why removing information doesn’t create depth—it increases risk. If consent is being framed as a barrier, it’s worth slowing down and looking at what’s really being said.
