Negotiation as Foreplay
with Jay Wiseman |
$25 |
Jay Wiseman |
Have a fantasy scene
you wish you could make a reality? New to BDSM or hoping to hone
communication skills? Many of us have a new, kinky fantasy we want
to try, but how do we get there?
Good pre-scene negotiations help lay the foundation
for a wonderful scene. Rushed or inadequate pre-scene negotiations
lay the foundation for a disaster. Self-confessed "negotiation
fetishist" and author of SM
101, Jay
Wiseman will present an approach to pre-scene negotiation, in-scene
communication, and post-scene feedback that is easy to remember,
comprehensive, effective, and "keeps the fun in it."
Great class for players of all experience levels!
