A monthly discussion of all things kink!
Hosted by @MaeveMcBride
**Topic: From Spark to Scene: Co-Creating and Negotiating Scintillating Scenes
Kink rarely follows a script—it’s about negotiating and crafting experiences that excite, challenge, and connect us.
In this interactive class, we’ll break down the elements of scene creation from inspiration to aftercare, giving you the tools to design play that reflects your desires, boundaries, relationship dynamics, personalities and play style.
Through guided discussions and exercises we will:
Explore different ways to structure scenes and dynamics
Discuss how to harness the creative ideas that pop into your head and turn them into fully-executable scene plans.
Learn how to articulate desires, risk profile, limits, and expectations
Practice negotiation techniques that foster clear consent and enthusiastic participation
Prepare for success by anticipating safety considerations to different elements you might want to include in your scene, so that it can be carried out more safely.
Engage in erotic co-creation to craft scenes that meet the needs and desires of all participants.
Experiment with (negotiated) improvisation, novel narratives, playfulness and physical, mental and emotional intensity to craft scenes that feel fresh and fulfilling
Whether you’re new to play or an experienced kinkster looking to refine your skills, this class will help you create scenes that are uniquely yours—hot, fun, and deeply satisfying. Bring your creativity, an open mind, and a willingness to play!
