#77 Om Rupani 2.0: Masculinity vs. Femininity - The Role of Dominance & Submission in Relationships

Season #2

Om Rupani, a renowned BDSM & tantra educator and author, sheds light on an intriguing perspective regarding the dynamics between men and women. In his thought-provoking insights, Om explores the notion that both genders are yet to fully grasp their roles in creating a nurturing and balanced relationship. During this heated discussion, you will hear Leah and Willow agree and disagree with what Om is trying to convey when he speaks of men not knowing how to hold a container for women and women not knowing how to care for men’s hearts.  

 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Om reveals the role men play in relationships—the concept of 'containment'. Describing how men need to hold a solid emotional and energetic space for women, an aspect often overlooked.
  • Om introduces the fundamental elements of 'dominance' and 'submission.' A provocative discourse shedding light on men as natural dominants and women as natural submissives.
  • We debate on the cultural biases against men—the statement that many women's visions of men are damaged and they don't genuinely see men led to a lively discussion about assumptions and stereotypes.
  • Tips for long-term relationships: how to shift perceptions, drop antagonism, and foster agreement.
