In this class we’ll explore the many flavors of s@distic play, from playful teasing and tickling to psychological games, edging, and intense physical sensation.We’ll unpack the difference between hard and soft s@dism, how demeanor shapes a scene, and how s@dism can be delivered with warmth, cruelty, care, or wicked delight. We’ll also talk about the human instinct toward aggression and violence and how consensual k!nk creates a safe container to explore those darker impulses without harm.If exploring s@dism has felt scary or something you are unsure about, or if you are someone who wants practice and to dig into the nitty gritty, this is a great class for you!About Your InstructorMx.
