Negotiating and Communicating for Emotional S&M

Humiliation, degradation, objectification, and other emotion-based play can, for some people, provide some of the most intense or playful kink experiences. But as a more abstract kink, it can be challenging to negotiate effectively. Add the complicated nature of safewording when emotions have already been affected, and you have a recipe for some potentially major pitfalls. In this class, join experienced emotional masochist vahavta to explore your interest in emotional play, discuss some of the possibilities for its directions (both good and bad!), and learn how to communicate with partners to minimize harm and maximize the experience you want.

Exciting Note

This class is offered in preparation for a brand new class on emotional S&M to be released the following month by @vahavta. Attendees to this class will receive a discount code to apply to the second.
