Kink and Kids: The Many Facets of Practising Kink as Parents

with Ancilla L

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

6/6 6:45 pm Pacific

Amongst the most common questions I receive from people is this oneL how do you balance your sexuality/fetish and being parents? There are many questions about sounds, exposure, information and intersection, and this class aims to cover as many of them as possible:

• Communicating with kids of different ages about the subject.
• Social, familial and personal influences on what you can and cannot say.
• How much do I want my kids to know?
• Ideology versus practice.
• Various approaches to kink and parenting: Handling disclosure, boundaries, preparedness, discovery etc.
• Secrets versus Boundaries: How to set them.
• The intersection of parenting and power-exchange: Figuring it out ethically for yourself and your children.
• Marks, signs, equipment, hiding and how to decide where to stand.
• Balancing parental responsibility and play.
• Dating a non-parent as a parent (or vice versa) in a kink set-up.
• Representation and children: What do visible aspects of your kink say to them?
• And much more!
