The presentation describes three cases of men (one heterosexual, two gay) who came seeking transformational, experiential BDSM work. Two of them described internal family systems dynamics needing to be understood and healed. The third asked explicitly for an extended process supporting male initiation (9 sessions). Based on their incoming consultations, James developed an individualized set of sessions, each involving sequential experiences over time.

Some techniques were used with all three, but in each case, an individual approach was designed that was based on that man’s patterns of arousal, intimacy, sexual history and psychology.
