Description
BDSM (Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, Sadomasochism) is an exploration of power and sensation through a variety of fun activities, methods, and relationship styles. Often under the umbrella term “kink,” activities related to BDSM and fetishes can offer rich ways to explore yourself and your partner(s) sexually, mentally, and physically.
In this workshop, Liz will introduce BDSM, discuss some common misconceptions about the practice/lifestyle, and showcase several popular activities that are associated with kink. There will be opportunities for attendees to check out and try various BDSM toys and implements. Liz will also facilitate a discussion about styles of consent and ways to empower yourself as a BDSM player. To finish up the workshop, Liz offers an abundance of resources for continuing to explore BDSM and for getting involved in the BDSM community.
