SF: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics Pre-Folsom Edition!

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.

Since this is our pre-Folsom edition, we'll also talk a bit about how consent works in public spaces like kinky street fairs, conferences, and parties!

If you're curious to learn more about the public BDSM scene in San Francisco, join us at noon for our class Welcome to the SF Bay Area scene! You may get tickets to that here:
