TES In-Person – Gift of the Gab: Verbalization for Better Bottoming

Beyond “talking dirty”, verbalization is the skill of using your words to process pain and sensation, using your words to increase the connection to your top, using your words for proactive consent, and using your words to help you flow in and out of headspace. This class will include drills to help decrease creative inhibition, accurately describe sensation on the fly, and start verbalizing in your own kink practice. This class will be taught from the bottom POV, but there will be a ton for tops to learn and do as they help their bottoms vocalize. Please bring a journal, especially if coming to this class solo.
