When Kink Loses its Sparkle
When Kink Loses its Sparkle
Description
Congratulations! You have been actively participating in the kink community for a hot minute and are having a great time. Until suddenly, without warning, participating in the scene does not feel so great. Now what? What do you do when a kink world that you’ve identified with for so long doesn’t feel as shiny? In this class, we’ll take a positive approach to unpacking the part of kink that is not often discussed in the open. There are several strategies we will discuss to recover from significant conflicts like a breakup, friendship going awry, or a consent violation even in such a small community. Whether you are a newbie looking for cautionary tales or working on finding your zest again, this class is for you!
Learning Objectives
This class will maintain a solution-focused positive tone while exploring solutions to move through feelings of being “stuck” or disenfranchised with different aspects of the kink community. Participants will examine their own participation in the community and consider new angles to explore. Successful attendees will feel seen knowing that it is more common than we realize to struggle within the community at some point in our journey. Themes of caution, self-development, and mentorship will be discussed.
