#37 From Pro-Domme to Submissive: Valkyrie on Regression, ABDL & Self-Domination
Description
Why do people eroticize regression, petplay, and degradation — and what does it mean to be your own Dom?
In this episode, Valkyrie shares her journey from Pro-Domme to submissive pet. We explore the misunderstood kinks of ABDL, degradation, and regression, and end with her powerful reflection on self-domination.
You’ll hear about:
How she shifted from dominating others to surrendering herself — and what that taught her about power.
Petplay & ABDL: the emotional logic behind regression, care, and erotic release.
Degradation vs. liberation: when words sting, and when they open new erotic truths.
Why stigma around “dark” kinks often misses the intimacy behind them.
Valkyrie’s insight on being her own Dom — and why every submissive should cultivate inner authority.
