The Taboo Is Truth: Owning your Nasty

Explore what turns you on and discover tools to play with your unique brand of “nasty” with confidence and curiosity.

Why do your darkest, “nastiest” cravings feel so intense—and why do they often come wrapped in shame? This interactive class examines the shadow side of erotic desire, helping you understand how taboo impulses are actually vital signals from your soul’s survival strategy.

Through the lens of BDSM, emotional meditation, and somatic awareness, you’ll learn to recognize and stay present with the feelings you usually avoid—shame, fear, compulsion—and transmute them into wisdom, sovereignty, and electrifying intimacy. Rather than resisting your “nasty,” you’ll discover it as your unique erotic truth: a powerful doorway to deeper connection and authentic self-expression.

Come curious. Leave more alive.

By the end of this class, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize how shame, fear, and longing shape desire—and why “nasty” cravings hold deep emotional intelligence.
  2. Trace erotic patterns back to unmet childhood needs or survival strategies.
  3. Identify and challenge internalized voices: the Inner Critic, Cultural Conditioning, and Ego.
  4. Understand the difference between deprivation-based desire (compulsion) and inspiration-based desire (growth).
  5. Turn emotional triggers into tools for intimacy and insight rather than collapse or self-sabotage.
  6. Practice emotional alchemy: transmute shame, jealousy, and anger into clarity, self-worth, and power.
  7. Use somatic practices like Focusing to listen to the body’s subtle wisdom during erotic or emotional intensity.
  8. Distinguish between authentic surrender and trauma-based collapse in BDSM or emotional scenes.
  9. Reclaim and name your unique “nasty” with conscious ownership, not shame or apology.
  10. Begin crafting kink and intimacy as sacred rituals of healing, sovereignty, and erotic integration.

No nudity or sex during this class.
