ONLINE: Consent in Hypnosis

Consent is a hot issue. From college campuses to local kink communities, consent is being actively discussed, and new understandings of how it relates to sexual interaction are evolving. Over the past five years concepts of consent have been explored in many communities on many levels. Hypnosis involves strong elements of control and behavioral change. We investigate principles of informed consent, and sources for standards, as well as offering concrete checklists and tools to aid in developing your own framework for consent in hypnotic play. Note that this is not a basic Consent 101 class, but focuses on consent in relation to hypnosis.

PRESENTERS:

James Gordon is one of the generation of people who missed out on ancient houses and traditions and grew up learning kink on the internet and in the bedroom in the late 80s and 90s, through friends, partners, alt.sex.bondage, books, and eventually clubs and events. He became interested in Master/slave dynamics in the early 2000s, and over the course of a decade and a half of practical experience and focus on the human mind has moved towards a modern interpretation of power exchange that explodes old myths, stereotypes, and gender roles, to reach for the core concepts of the human need for structure, chaos, dominance and submission. He holds a Certification in Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Rebecca Doll enjoys being pretty and pleasing and an object of admiration, and is an exhibitionist pain slut of the highest caliber. They love being put through their paces publicly and take great joy in leaving their audience with mouths agape at the end of their scenes. While beatings are fun, they are most fond of anything that draws blood - either their own or someone else's. Physicality is not the core of their interests, however. As a member of House of Artemisia, they spend a significant amount of their time focused on exploring the more twisted desires of the human mind, and applying their academic background, including putting their Master's degree in Education to use in understanding the human needs for control, violence, and self-destruction.
