Every Daddy Needs a Daddy
Life is a Festival #132: Eamon Armstrong with Chloe Macintosh (Live from Burning Man)
Today on Life is a Festival in a talk recorded live at Burning Man, I share my personal kink journey and how I learned to alchemize adolescent sexual shame through the archetype of “Daddy.” I was interviewed by the brilliant Chloe Macintosh, founder of the sexual wellness app, Kama, who will be a guest on a forthcoming episode.
On the show we discuss where kinks come from and how accepting, embracing, and embodying them can be healing for you and your lovers. We discuss creating safe containers in specific experiences and overall relationship dynamics. Finally we end with questions and a playful Daddy embodiment practice.
Kink, like psychedelics and Burning Man itself, can be a powerful transformational technology, if used wisely.
