This class is a deep\, real-world guide to understanding\, negotiating\, and practicing consent within the kink lifestyle. Whether you’re brand new or an experienced player\, this workshop is designed to help you navigate the emotional\, physical\, and ethical dimensions o f consent with clarity and confidence.\n\nTogether\, we’ll explore how consent works differently in power exchange\, primal scenes\, pick-up p lay\, and long-term dynamics. We'll break down the different models of c onsent (from SSC to RACK to PRICK)\, and why consent is not a one-time " "yes"" but an ongoing\, living agreement. We’ll also dive into tools l ike negotiation checklists\, safe words\, and aftercare strategies to he lp you and your partners co-create experiences that are safe\, satisfyin g\, and sustainable.\n\nThis class emphasizes communication skills\, per sonal agency\, and compassionate boundaries—whether you're a Top\, bot tom\, switch\, or simply curious. We’ll talk about how to give\, get\, and withdraw consent without shame or guilt\, how to spot red flags\, a nd how to foster trust even in edgy or spontaneous play.\n\nExpect a mix of lecture\, storytelling\, practical exercises\, and group discussion. You’ll leave with language you can actually use\, tools that work in real scenes\, and a stronger understanding of what makes kink both ethic al and exhilarating.\n\nThis class is for adults 18+ of all identities\, genders\, bodies\, and experience levels. It’s sex-positive\, trauma- informed\, and judgment-free.\n\nADVANCED TICKETING REQUIRED: \;http s://forbiddentickets.com/events/portland-leather-alliance/274926f231\n\n 📌 Accessibility and Transportation Information for Sanctuary Club (21 +):\n\n 21+\n Advance ticketing is required.
