HOTLINE - Why We’re Drawn to Men in Control (+ Exploring Sexting)

Episode 188 can be streamed on Spotify here and Apple podcasts here and on YouTube below:

# 188 Welcome to the Healing Honeys Hotline! Ever been attracted to a 'man in power'? Someone richer, older, more successful, or even an ex you’ve put on a pedestal? This week, Louise dives into a listener submission, exploring the complex dynamics of dating (and being attracted) to men in positions of power—specifically, this listener's sexy AF Chemistry tutor and Louise's very own semi-toothless motorcycle instructor! 

Louise unpacks the conscious or subconscious seductive pull of authority figures, the fantasy-versus-reality struggle in digital relationships, the excitement of exploring kinks and desires, and the emotional toll and confusion when online connections come to an end. She discusses why we’re often drawn to these powerful personalities, how to spot manipulative, ego-driven behaviors, why real safety is essential to explore your sexuality consensually, and why boundaries are critical—even in virtual situationships—to keep things liberating, fun, healthy, and on your terms. 

Welcome to protecting your heart in the digital world!
