💻 ONLINE: Your Kink Is Not My Kink - But Is Your Kink OK?

About the Event

This class will review types of play (including edge play) that might “squick” or trigger us, and why. --- The guideline of “Your Kink Is Not My Kink” (YKINMK) has become foundational in the sex positive and BDSM communities as the standard for acceptance of diversity - and as the gold standard to avoid shaming. But what happens when we struggle with another’s kink, to the point of becoming judgmental, disturbed, or even triggered? This class will review types of play (including edge play) that might “squick” or trigger us, and why. We’ll examine how to overcome our own biases, discuss what to report and what not to report, and how to reach the tolerance of Your Kink Is OK.
