A monthly discussion of all things kink!

Hosted by MaeveMcBride

TOPICInformed Kinking: Vetting, Limits, Risk Profiles, and Negotiation

Getting the kinky play that you want involves knowing your desires, knowing your boundaries. risk profiles, and limits AND communicating them effectively.
In this class we will cover the topics one can consider when developing their own unique boundaries, limits and risk profiles for kinky play; then cover what criteria to consider when vetting potential play partners; whether it be pick up play or a longer term partnership.
Finally, we will bring it all together with different ways to clearly and effectively communicate your boundaries, limits, risk profiles with your play partners. And how to communicate when your boundaries and limits have been crossed/violated.
This class is suitable for kinksters of all levels, but is especially beneficial for those newer to kink.
