BDSM Date Night: Prioritizing Safety to Ensure Play (19+)

Humans are messy creatures, and dating/relationships can be as messy as it gets. BDSM offers ways of making things less messy, by offering us ways of relating to others that feel safe & known. To put it plainly, there's a lot less guessing when it comes to dating in BDSM. Less guessing equals more understanding, which in turn means more safety and more play. And let's face it, being a human is hard, and we could all use more play in our lives.
This workshop will focus on how we make sure there's less guessing in BDSM through utilizing the BDSM basics. Such as negotiation, consent, and aftercare to name a few.
We will also talk about the importance of knowing our likes, our limits, and ourselves because if we don't know who we are we can't prioritize our safety, and we can't ensure our play.
