As tops and bottoms, we all fuck up sometimes. Our brains are all unique and process data differently. We are high on neurochemicals from play. We don’t always define words and experiences the same. What we do in our play comes with inherent emotional and physical risks, whether you are doing the mildest of sensation play or suspending someone from the ceiling covered in needles. In this class, Evelyn Evey will help you learn how to minimize the chances of accidental injuries to consent, as well as how to reduce the lingering damage when consent is injured or violated. Learning what you can do before, during, and after a scene, and building your skills for how to navigate your own strengths and weaknesses as well as your scene partner’s strengths and weaknesses can be powerful for ensuring that both parties come out of the scene having had a good time.
Evelyn Evey is a happily kinky, switchy, sadomasochistic, polyamorous, queer, gender non conforming experience junkie who lives in Seattle, Washington where she is actively involved with the Center for Sex Positive Culture and the local BDSM community. She was vice president of the board of directors for the Pan Eros Foundation (formerly known as the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture) and has had various roles with the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival. A voracious learner, she has studied Ayurveda, psychology, and acting, all of which have provided her insight and tools for helping others on their own journeys towards finding balance and having fun with their kink.
