The CSPC’s Power Dynamics Discussion Group allows participants to learn about authority transfer relationships in more general terms through discussion in a safe, judgement-free environment.

Authority transfer relationships are also referred to as power exchange or the umbrella term Dominance and submission (the DS in BDSM). In these relationships, one person generally offers authority over themselves to another in a multitude of ways for a specified period ranging from minutes, hours, or a lifetime.

We will explore the factors relating to a wide variety of relationships, such as the following:

  • Top/bottom

  • Dominant/submissive

  • Master/slave

  • Owner/property

  • Daddy/boy or girl

  • Mommy/boy or girl

  • Handler/pet

Whether you are experienced or just starting out, please bring your questions and the expertise created by your experience. Drop in for one meeting or become a regular. We look forward to sharing space with you.

Facilitator Bio: Kelly (she/her)

Kelly has been a part of a kink community since 2000, migrating slowly from Southern California to the Bay Area and Southern Oregon before settling in Seattle in 2011. Having occupied both sides of the slash in a multitude of power authority relationships, she comes with a lot of expertise on herself and a few opinions about just about everything.

As both an educator on communication and interpersonal & intrapersonal relationships and a Board Member for the Center for Sex Positive Culture (CSPC), Kelly excels at meeting people where they are and helping them get to where they want to be.
