Regarding morning wood, EmpD really brings back some youthfulness. I was happily surprised the two mornings after my first loop of EmpD and I haven’t been listening to another sub that I would suspect could do this for a longer period of time. It’s interesting because during the actual listening I don’t feel anything down there, unlike with BDLM or Diamond.
And to add to the aging debate: what I do sense with EmpD is a really calm and smooth energy that is very stable but not firm, it can really become upbeat but without loosing its solid base. And I really like that. When I was listening to GLM (ZPv2) in early 2023, I became overly serious and stern. When I was listening to new Primal in early 2024, it made me feel a little too detached in the sense that I didn’t care about loosing everything and was more than once thinking about leaving it all behind which made no sense to me because I had an established life that I didn’t want to run from completely. So if aging gracefully does mean what I do feel right now, I’m happily embracing it! And regarding physical shifting: that’s probably too early to talk about, but when I looked into the mirror with WB, I really could see the seducer in me, with EmpD I feel like a graceful and powerful person is looking at me.
