Edge Play
The edge of what? For some this means the edge of sanity, safety, reason, or the edge of a knife. We will spend some time on some discussions and examples of different types of edge play for different people. There will be some participatory exercises to find your edges and better express them. We will talk about techniques to eliminate risks while keeping the edge or charge we want in our play. Participants should expect to have to talk about their own experiences and kinks.
Negotiations for BDSM
In the corporate world negotiation is often about getting an advantage over your adversary. In politics it is often about compromises and selling out. In BDSM the playing field is quite different. Often both parties are out for the same thing or very similar things. The trick is to really put this into words. We will play with some techniques for putting your desires into words and getting them out there. Verbal participation is encouraged to get the most out of this class.
Beyond Basic Rope
