Episode 5:
I had not heard the term Dungeon Disease until quite recently. When it was described to me, it instantly clicked. I had met and known quite a few people who were suffering from Dungeon Disease. Even I have been cursed with Dungeon Disease on occasion.
Here’s what you need to remember: Dungeon Disease is not fatal, you can recover from it. Although, there is only one remedy.
How does that happen? The fix is in self reflection. No one can do it for you. You have to look at yourself and your behavior. Ask yourself questions like: Do I have balance in my life or is my life all about Kink and playing? Do I make time for work, family, friends, and kink? When you are at a party or kink event, is it all about your needs and what you want or are you willing to be a good partner and meet your play partners needs as well? Are you making good choices about safety, even if it means you don’t get to play that night?
I’m not sitting here typing at my computer and pretending that I haven’t asked myself these same questions in my kink life, because I have. Once you have the answers to these questions, you can course correct and make better choices in the future. This is the beauty of each new day. Each new day brings with it the possibility to make new choices that day.
You got this!
