How to Spot and Avoid Predators: Safeguarding Your Kink Experience

Running Time:
1 hour 46 minutes

Narcissist. Sociopath. Manipulator. Energy vampire. How do we protect ourselves from these incredibly unhealthy people that tend to lurk in communities such as the BDSM one? Most discussions on this topic are focused on the Dominants who abuse their power. In this class we will not only address what to look out for when a top preys on the vulnerable, but also the bottoms who are not as innocent as they appear. Join this insightful workshop designed to equip you with the essential tools and strategies to safeguard yourself against individuals who exhibit toxic traits. Just as there are deceptive people in the vanilla world, they exist in the kink lifestyle as well. In this class we will talk about red flags such as ignoring limits, disregarding safe words, and more. Learn practical tools to assertively respond to uncomfortable situations. Sometimes the line between a healthy BDSM dynamic and an abusive one can be blurred, and that's what predators count on. Gain the knowledge and skills to recognize and sidestep dangerous situations that exploit our trusting nature.

Some other topics that will be covered are:

• Distinguishing between healthy negotiation and manipulative persuasion
  
• Energy vampires and how to shield yourself from them
  
• Effective communication to help establish and maintain boundaries
