Kink Negotiation
When having sex with many partners or playing with power and domination, it takes a lot of focus, work and ethics to avoid harassment or assault. These are skills that can be learned, language that can be created and consent that can be explored. For nothing is black and white when you are playing in shadow areas, and it is necessary to be proud, upfront and skilled in speaking your wishes and defining your boundaries.
This workshop will share experiences and taboos. We will exchange and Xplore tips and tools on how to negotiate boundaries, desires and consent. Including the controversial but important desire to lose control and submit.
We need to strengthen a culture of respect, honesty and aftercare. And maybe the everyday world could learn from this, a the drunken scoring attempts in late-night discos, trying to ignore shame by serial monogamy.
Lets talk about how we can make the sex culture better – both on an individual basis (you!) and a communal basis (humanity!)
