Event Series Event Series: Monday Night Classes

May 26 @ 7:15 pm – 9:00 pm

Dominant, Leather woman, sensualist, sadomasochist, Primal (predator), roleplayer, caregiver… We’re talking about seven different people here, right?

Nope! These are just some of the many parts of self that can make up a whole kinkster!
But how does that work? Don’t some of those roles negate others? Isn’t a dominant masochist a contradiction?

While it may seem that way at first glance, what seems like a contradiction is just a part of the nuances and diverse composition of any human being, but most especially kinky humans! As we engage in so called “deviant” kinky behavior, more and more nuanced parts of self emerge.

In this class, you will learn how to isolate and tap into different facets of your kinky identity and enhance any given headspace to match the situation or okay scene you are trying to achieve. Being able to effectively compartmentalize one’s roles and call them forward intentionally is key to navigating contradictory parts of self-and we will demonstrate this by pulling inspiration from DnD character building sheets.
