SUMMARY:ONLINE: Monster Matchmaking: Assessing Compatibility for Emotional Sadomasochism with SuspendDisbelief
DESCRIPTION:Who should we trust to (consensually) hurt our feelings? Wait\, what even are feelings? In a scarcity mindset\, we sometimes focus on the specifics of fulfilling a fantasy and forget to establish whether our scene partner(s) are right for the job. This class zooms in on motivations for and compatibility during emotional sadomasochism from a bottom’s perspective. \nSuspendDisbelief applies an academic lens to almost a decade of experience being consensually bullied in public to help fellow masochists gain insight into their play desires. \nPRESENTER: \nSuspendDisbelief (she/her) is a queer\, non-monogamous power exchange and sadomasochism nerd. Her hobby of choice has been getting hurt in public since 2017\, but she has been fantasizing about powerlessness and crushing on former boy scouts exclusively for their knowledge of knots for far longer than that. On top of bottoming for power exchange and physical+emotional sadism\, she started tying herself in 2019 and swiftly snowballed down the pipeline toward rope topping. She uses the chaos goblin energy bestowed upon her by her ADHD to enhance her teaching and help people like her “get it”. She currently helps facilitate and teaches monthly for Hitchin’ Bitches DC. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/44d0ee7bfc

SUMMARY:ONLINE: ESM 102: Resilience Skills for Emotional S/m with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Emotional S/m can offer some of the most intense and transformative experiences in kink\, and also some of the most challenging to navigate sustainably. In ESM 102: Resilience Skills for Emotional Sadomasochism\, vahavta will take us beyond basic negotiation and communication to focus on what it actually takes to keep this kind of play sustainable for your brain\, body\, and life. \nWe’ll discuss how we can better prepare for and navigate the complex nuances between consensual emotional suffering and genuine psychological damage\, and walk away with practical methods for building tailored personal resilience while outside of play so that you can lean in more consciously and fully when it begins—not the sort of resilience that protects you from intensity\, but one that allows you to metabolize it fully and keep coming back for more. \nFor ESM players who are familiar with their desires and ready to develop the skills needed for long-term sustainability in psychological edgeplay. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context. As an educator\, she aims to give honest and risk-aware information that applies to the realities of human behavior\, focusing largely on the “how” and asking people to consider their personal capabilities\, interests\, and readiness. Passionate about community collaboration\, vahavta is proud to run the Risk Evaluation Database (RED) and contribute regularly to kink blogs and her own Fetlife writing index. In all aspects of her life\, she strives to be a work in progress. \nTICKETING: \nThe regular ticket is $30. This is what most people should pay. We offer multiple price points\, so cost is less of a barrier to attendance. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/b75238e241

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Baring Your Emotional Jugular: Active Bottoming For Emotional Sadism Play
DESCRIPTION:Sticks and stones may break your bones\, but words… can actually do some serious damage\, right? Emotional sadomasochism (ESM) is incredibly fun but also incredibly high-risk\, and mitigating that risk can seem like a lot of work. It turns out that handing someone a metaphorical map of your emotional landscape makes it a bit easier for them to navigate without breaking things. But how do we make an accurate map\, and how do we draw it in a way that makes sense for our partner? \nWe’ll discuss skills such as scene negotiation\, vulnerability/authenticity\, discovering and communicating your desires and aftercare needs\, and flirting with your sadists in a non-pushy way. SuspendDisbelief aims to prove that bottoms can actively participate in and guide their own play-destruction while having fun! \nPRESENTER: \nSuspendDisbelief (she/her) is a queer\, non-monogamous power exchange and sadomasochism nerd. Her hobby of choice has been getting hurt in public since 2017\, but she has been fantasizing about powerlessness and crushing on former boy scouts exclusively for their knowledge of knots for far longer than that. On top of bottoming for power exchange and physical+emotional sadism\, she started tying herself in 2019 and swiftly snowballed down the pipeline toward rope topping. She uses the chaos goblin energy bestowed upon her by her ADHD to enhance her teaching and help people like her “get it”. She currently helps facilitate and teaches monthly for Hitchin’ Bitches DC. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/a9ea90dc25 \nWe offer a sliding scale\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. \nSo – that’s it! Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nPatreon members at the VIP+ level may get discounted tickets for $10. Just see your Patreon membership emails for this month’s discount code.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Negotiating and Communicating for Emotional S/M with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Humiliation\, degradation\, objectification\, and other emotion-based play can\, for some people\, provide some of the most intense or playful kink experiences. But as a more abstract kink\, it can be challenging to negotiate effectively. Add the complicated nature of safewording when emotions have already been affected\, and you have a recipe for some potentially major pitfalls. In this class\, join experienced emotional masochist vahavta to explore your interest in emotional play\, discuss some of the possibilities for its directions (both good and bad!)\, and learn how to communicate with partners to minimize harm and maximize the experience you want. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context. As an educator\, she aims to give honest and risk-aware information that applies to the realities of human behavior\, focusing largely on the “how” and asking people to consider their personal capabilities\, interests\, and readiness.
