The mind is the biggest erogenous zone; exploring its depths can lead to transformative and thrilling connections. In this hands-on class, we’ll dive into the psychological aspects of BDSM, including the dynamics of power exchange, punishment play, and the emotional spectrum of vulnerability and trust.
Starting with our favorite negotiation question — “How would you like to feel?” — participants will deepen their understanding of what drives our desires, to craft scenes that engage the mind, body, and spirit. This class give you new tools to negotiate, explore, and create experiences that are as meaningful as they are exhilarating. Perfect for Tops, Bottoms, and Switches looking to deepen their understanding of their scene partners and elevate their play!
