Safety and consent are considered of utmost importance in the BDSM scene, however public discourse shows that people do not always agree on the specifics, and context can vary. The same goes for accountability, responsibility, and skill, though they are are not as talked about--but how can you have safety or consent without them? There is no shortage of classes, or expectations, directed towards D-types. The level of education, expectation, and accountability directed towards s-types, on the other hand, seems disproportionate. There also seems to be inconsistencies in the kinky community's rhetoric and standards directed at those who identify as Dominant Men versus submissive women (and everything in between). Join a group of DM and sw panelists to discuss their experiences and thoughts around this kink, social, and gender-related topic. Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30.

We all came from somewhere, or even a collection of somewheres. But while the roots of our communities shaped our present and our future, they don’t have to dictate them. Come learn about leather histories, oral traditions, practices, and stories that have brought us to where we are today—then practice taking what speaks to you and leaving the rest. We might stand on the shoulders of giants, but it’s now up to us to shape the worlds we want to see tomorrow. Jewel (she & they pronouns) is a switchy bisexual polya genderqueer Jersey femme Daddy.

This class focuses on aspects of mental health as it relates to the practice of BDSM. The goal is to be able to apply the information learned here as one negotiates scenes/relationships with other partners, becomes more aware of how emotional wellness can affect play and how it can change the need and level of care.
