What I Wish I Knew When I Got Started in BDSM

If I had a nickel for every time I said “I wish I knew x,y,z when I first got started…” I’d be very rich. So why not put together a workshop full of tips and tricks that will help those who are new to BDSM. The goal for this workshop is to be the person I wish I had when I first started and help others in a way that was missing from the beginning of my kink journey. A lot of folks don’t know where to start but don’t worry, we’ll get your journey on the yellow brick road started with a bang! We’ll discuss ways to navigate having to deal with medical professionals and law enforcement. Even if you’ve been in for a while, there’s always something new to learn like ways to better take care of your dynamic, what to do in case things go wrong in a scene, ways to better manage your energy, etc. You’ll hear the perspective of a Dominant and submissive in an established dynamic of 7 years with a combined 30 plus years of experience.

Other topics of discussion will include:

• How to spot and avoid predators
• Kinkster Do’s & Don’ts
• General safety information
• Ways to have better, more fulfilling scenes
• Sexy negotiation skills for more in depth conversations

This workshop is meant to be an inclusive environment that is accommodating for all types of people. You can participate in a way that feels comfortable for you, whether that’s having your camera on, joining in the chat, or remaining anonymous while taking in all the information. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any accessibility needs.
