The role gender plays and other factors. The way each instinct is framing how an attraction is going. We each take a look at this for ourselves in the context of dating and all the games we play. The reciprocity and contextualizing of social. The provocative hooking and spilling of sexual. And the grounded sensuality and consummation of self-pres.

Courtney’s back with us to dive into the mind’s eye of the head center. How the mind is how we frame things and what generates the stories we tell ourselves.

What is it about serial killers that gets us so hot? In this episode we dig into the enneagrammic psychology and cultural underpinnings of serial killers. The connection between serial killing, death, and the sexual instinct. Why the victims are usually objects of sexual desire. Why is serial killing primarily a male phenomenon? How repressed conservative culture plays a role in encouraging masculine insecurity and a compartmentalization of sexual desires. Normalizing kink and how that may be contributing to the decline of serial killers. We wrap up with incels and the similar factors behind it.
