What do you do when the person you love shares a fantasy that leaves you feeling uncomfortable? Is saying “that’s not for me” a sign of judgment or simply a healthy boundary? In this episode, we’re exploring one of the biggest misconceptions about desire - that accepting someone’s fantasies means you have to participate in them as well. Why do so many of us feel guilty for saying no? Why is “having boundaries” something we apologise for? In today’s podcast we unravel the difference between acceptance and participation, between love and obligation, and discover why protecting your own comfort isn’t the opposite of intimacy, but rather the thing that actually makes relationships possible.
