SUMMARY:ONLINE: From ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ to Boundaries: Healing Consent Culture in BDSM with Buzz Stingyear
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever felt that kink community wasn’t there for you? Are you confronting unhelpful worldviews around consent that you’ve struggled to shift? Would you like to learn how to be less reactive or annoyed and more open to your [potential] partners’ perspectives? If so\, this class is for you! \nThis course explores the emotional\, social\, and psychological dimensions of consent beyond the basics. Participants will unpack common resistance to consent culture and deepen their understanding through reflection\, dialogue\, and experiential practice. Learn when “boys will be boys” or “it’s just my way” is applicable to consent culture. Even those of us who are profoundly dedicated to the ideas of consent sometimes resist the culture and practices of consent. Or we are not even aware that what we are doing is related to kink and therefore think it is not under the purview of consent. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn to: \n\nUnderstand what “nuance” in consent means and why it matters\nExplore how context and assumptions impact BDSM consent\nDetermine whether you can be a badass or a Dominant/Top and still be religious about consent\nExamine the conflict that arises when your authentic self conflicts with another’s authentic self in relation to consent\nUnpack personal resistance to consent practices and replace resistance with enthusiasm\nIdentify personal experiences with clear vs. unclear consent\n\nPRESENTER: \nBuzz_Stingyear is a late-blooming kinkster who grew up in a money-driven\, Trump-aligned household. He internalized a rigid worldview that took years of effort to unravel. With a doctorate in Counseling Psychology\, he strives to align his personal growth with his training. Entering the public kink community exposed him to the transformative power of feedback\, accountability\, and consent culture. Behaviors once normalized in his vanilla world were challenged and reexamined. Buzz remains committed to self growth\, becoming less reactive and more compassionate\, and supporting others in finding connection\, safety\, and self-awareness within the kink community. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/a332d6e3c3

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!
