Getting the kinky play that you want involves knowing your desires, knowing your boundaries. risk profiles, and limits AND communicating them effectively. 

In this class we will cover the topics one can consider when developing their own unique boundaries, limits and risk profiles for kinky play. We will then cover what criteria to consider when vetting potential play partners; whether it be pick up play or a longer term partnership. We will then bring it all together with different ways to communicate your boundaries, limits, risk profiles with your play partners. 

This class is suitable for kinksters of all levels, but is especially beneficial for those newer to kink.

**Pre-registration IS REQUIRED to save your spot for our first ever class offering!**
