Why do unresolved relationships linger in our minds? This week on Diverse Dungeon, we explore the intricate landscape of relationships through the lens of neurodivergence. As I wrap up my grad school class and look forward to the summer break, I share my excitement about attending Sex Geek Camp and diving into personal projects. Thinking about my discovery of my neurodivergence and how it has shaped my past relationships, particularly with a fellow neurodivergent individual.

In the second half, we recount the emotionally charged relationships that included a metamour with borderline personality disorder (BPD), which brought significant challenges. From emotionally unstable moments to a dramatic camping trip.

Tune in to hear these personal stories and reflections on the complex interplay of neurodivergence and relationships, and how they continue to shape our lives.

Emerging from a period of disarray akin to the scattered puzzle pieces of a complex jigsaw, I've pieced together the chaotic corners of my life, tidying more than just my office. The journey reminds me of an ex whose cluttered haven mirrored our tumultuous partnership, and now, as I organize my space, I’m setting the stage for a candid discussion about life's unexpected parallels. The air is electric with the buzz of reconnection as I recount the resounding success of the NeuroSpicy meet and greet; a testament to the strength and solidarity discovered within the kink community. My adventures at the vibrant KinkFest in Portland take center stage as well, complete with lavish praise for the dungeon dreamland and insightful suggestions for our ADHD friends craving focus amidst the frenzy.

Transitioning to a more intimate note, the essence of aftercare in BDSM becomes tangible through a recounting of a scene with Master J that veered off course post-play. The chain mail flogger was not the only new element that night; the absence of expected aftercare uncovered an emotional landscape that begged for attention. The episode peels back the curtain on the paramount importance of communication and mutual care, as I take you through the raw emotions that underscore our shared responsibility for each other's emotional safety. Whether you're navigating the waves of BDSM or simply curious about the intricate dynamics of these relationships, this episode offers heartfelt insights and a call to action for greater advocacy and connection within the lifestyle.
