About this event
Most of us are familiar with physical forms of BDSM. Activities like spanking, bondage, and sensation play are common fare. But what about the psychological side? How do kinksters mentally benefit from physical play? Why do unpleasantries like disgust, fear, and extreme degradation appeal to so many? How can emulating real-world oppressive power structures in the bedroom net a positive outcome? In what ways can play go too far and cause harm?
In this session, Sunny Megatron breaks down the mental aspects of kink with a focus on some of the most misunderstood and extreme play styles like humiliation, age play, consensual non-consent, power exchange, and edge play. You’ll learn what mutually enjoyable, ethical kink scenes entail and how in some cases they can be therapeutic. On the flip side, you’ll learn how to better spot signs of unhealthy, dangerous, or abusive psychological kink. These insights will also help you dispel some of your own stigma leaving you better equipped to help clients process insights, emotions, and triggers they encounter during intense BDSM play.
