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. Find out more at Patreon.com/WickedGrounds! \nIf cost is a barrier at any level\, please use the “Volunteer List” to request a free scholarship ticket. We will award as many scholarship tickets as we can on a space-available basis. \nACCESS: \nThis will be a live\, online class offered through Zoom. To participate\, you may need to download the free\, basic version of the Zoom app before the class! This class *will not* be recorded. \nZoom now provides closed captioning\, which will be available for this event.
