Chapter 5: Oh, Sweet Selfish Surrender

In this chapter I’ll explain how both the human body and psyche are made to sacrifice and surrender, and how to consciously support that process to be as smooth as possible. Maybe is it even so that surrender is required to orgasm?

Suffering is feared

Avoided at any cost

Hidden far far away

Surrender to your mortality

There is no status quo

Accept it and sacrifice

To something meaningful

Instinctively you know it

Witnessing it is beautiful

The beauty of sacrifice

Rituals and paradoxes is an adult-rated linear but non-chronological odyssey into my research of sadomasochism and esoteric eroticism up to today. To keep social media and its algorithms happy, you need to sign up to access it. If you prefer listening along, you can also find it on Spotify.

It’s also my five year long writing project, it was in large rewritten in 2023 together with my friend and editor Steve Kokker, and eventually it will evolve into a printed product.
