Credit Hours:5
Prerequisite:CLS 701-709
This course delves into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and kink, offering students a comprehensive understanding of the neurobiological processes that underlie BDSM practices. We will explore how various aspects of kink, such as power dynamics, pain, and pleasure, are processed in the brain and how these experiences can impact mental and emotional well-being. The course will also examine how these neurological processes contribute to the therapeutic potential of kink, the concept of subspace, and the propensity for addiction.
