When "No" Loses Meaning: A Facilitated Discussion on Long-Term Edgeplay, Relationships, and Consent
2026-01-17 , Mainsail West (Dungeon)

What does consent look like in a long-term relationship where brainwashing is involved,
especially if one of the goals is reducing the ability for the s-type to say no? How can a d-type
know for sure their s-type wants something when they have been conditioned to want what the
d-type wants? In this class, Kristerina, coming from the perspective of a bottom in a long-term
brainwashing and conditioning relationship, will facilitate a discussion with the audience about
best practices for consent, potential pitfalls to avoid, and possible problems to mitigate, when it
comes to long term edgeplay where the purpose is to affect long term changes in (at least) one
of the partners involved. One should be familiar with standard consent models, negotiation for
relationships and scenes, and standard hypnotic practices before coming to this class. Let's
brainstorm ways we can do our long-term relationships and partnerships even more
consensually, safely, and sexily!
