Om Rupani

Welcome to the Adam Lamb Adventure Club podcast. In this episode I spoke with Om Rupani.

Om is a BDSM educator in the NYC area. I first met him at his workshop “Dating & Dominance for the Modern Man”, held at his home in Jersey City. The workshop profoundly shifted how I relate to women, and paradoxically led to me taking a year off from pursuing them.

Om’s approach, based on two decades of data working with men, women, and couples, was somehow equally heart-felt and confronting. I found that many of his ideas were new to me, particularly in man/woman relating, sub/dom archetypes, and his view that modern feminism is synonymous with a disrespect of men.

After listening to all of his podcast episodes, which I highly recommend, I still had questions. Om was kind enough to give me an hour of his time.In this episode, we discuss:
