This month, we’re honoured to feature a personal essay from writer Jowita Bydlowska. With raw honesty, she traces the threads of shame, desire, trust, and the untamed energy of passion — exploring how intimacy and power weave together in the dance between the masculine and feminine. It’s a piece that refuses to whisper. Instead, it asks us to look directly at what we’re taught to hide: the shadows of sexuality, the charge of danger, and the alchemy of reclaiming what once brought us shame. Content note: This essay contains candid reflections on sexuality, kink, and energetic exchange. Read only if you feel ready to step into that fire.

I want my lover to be stronger than me but I don’t want him to kill me. Submissiveness is a game of trust. I want my lover to demonstrate that he could, potentially, harm me, but that he chooses not to. That’s the agreement between the dominant and the submissive that I respond to.” Read More
