Kink 101: Considerations for Integrating BDSM in a Professional Context
May 10, 2023
11 AM PDT
Webinar Details
Somatic Sex Educators are uniquely positioned to be able to support clients in many different explorations of erotic embodiment and non-normative sexual expressions, for pleasure, and for healing. BDSM and Kink can provide a tool kit for talking about power, establishing and navigating consent, facilitating trauma healing, and deepening intimacy.
In this live webinar, the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education core faculty and SSEA founding member, Corinne Diachuk invites Kink Educator and Relationship coach Max Cameron to a conversation - Kink 101. We will discuss some of the history and lineage of BDSM, talk about our personal experiences of offering professional BDSM services, and explore some basic tools for crafting negotiations, consent in altered states, and cultivating explicit agency.
Max Cameron
Max has been active in Seattle's kink community since 1992 and has taught workshops and offered private coaching since 1999. He is nourished and guided by his strong roots in the BDSM, kink, queer, leather, and poly communities.
Max weaves his BDSM practice into his life because it's an especially effective way to build intimacy. The level of trust, communication, and active consent required for this practice creates beautiful, powerful experiences, and deep relationships.
Max has spent a lifetime building a range of skills, including the intimacy of rope bondage, the intensity of the singletail, the connection of erotic hypnosis, and the power of authority-transfer (D/S) relationships.
