SF: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics

Wicked Grounds at Trellis, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103

Negotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn't necessarily come naturally -- especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene.

Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in the BDSM scene and relationships. We'll talk about:

• Negotiation styles
• Pre-scene negotiations
• How to negotiate without killing the mood
• Checking in during and after the scene
• Negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics

Drawing on what we know about the psychology of a scene, we'll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic. This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications.

PRESENTER:

Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over one dozen years in the Austin, Houston and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community, BDSM negotiations, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds.
