ONLINE: The Softer Side of Kink

Note: This will be a live, online class offered through Zoom. No on-site tickets will be available.

Kink isn't just whips and chains! There is so much more to kink play than just pain.

If you have been interested in kink but are not a fan of giving or receiving pain, but want to explore kink play this class is for you!

Why would people engage in kink if there is no pain? Kink play involves communication, extensive physical and emotional connection with a partner, an ability to practice being present, and ways to create sensual, intimate sensations.

This class will cover the basics of:

• Psychology behind power exchange
• Definition of head space
• Ways to get into and maintain headspace
• Types of sensation play
• Bondage for increased sensation
• Sensory deprivation as a form of play

Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to connect with a partner, play with gentle sensations, and create anticipation, expectations, desire, and arousal.
