Behind the Curtain

This whole tangent was originally supposed to be a (very long) blog post on <a href="https://bastienne.ca/journal">my website</a>but it felt too .. revealing, I suppose. Instead I decided to skim over it here in the audio, with you lovely muffins.<br/><br/>If you&#8217;ve seen the Wizard of Oz, you know that the man behind the curtain is the infamous wizard himself! He is adept at creating an ominous and intimidating spectacle but Dorothy soon discovers that he is merely a normal gent, pulling the strings from behind a curtain. When I think about my experiences in FemDom, this analogy often comes to mind.<br/><br/>I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again, fantasy is fun as long as no one is getting hurt. Deception and blurred lines create a lot of pain for many of us exploring in BDSM so I like to talk about these things honestly so that I can contribute a little relief to listeners if they seek it. I hope there&#8217;s lots to glean for subbies and Dommes alike in this post!<br/><br/>Thanks for listening and don't forget to go subscribe to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXP7VIKMfmBImZ1XwbGZgGQ">my YouTube series</a> as well for more ponderings.
