Some of the hottest play is also the edgiest. Heavy players and those who use real-world danger to provoke fear in their bottoms are intimately familiar with the intense emotional responses that result. How then do we consider the dangers associated with these advanced types of play when they are so highly subjective? Join an engineer who for an in-depth exploration of risk in the context of kink that uses objective assessment tools to discuss these concepts in a very different way than you’d encounter in the usual Kink 101 safety talk.
Together we’ll explore questions like : What is risk? How do we assess it holistically? How do we discuss risks with our partners in an open and sexy way? What roles does it serve in play? What influences perception of risk? Can we reduce actual risk while increasing perceived risk?
Date/Time: Friday, September 16 , 8:00-9:30 PM
