ONLINE: Monster Matchmaking: Assessing Compatibility for Emotional Sadomasochism with SuspendDisbelief

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.

SuspendDisbelief 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.

PRESENTER:

SuspendDisbelief (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.
