PAIN & PLEASURE: Find pleasure in pain
In this workshop, you will explore the fascinating and complex relationship between pain and pleasure. You will:
- Explore the relationship between pain and pleasure
- Discover ways to find pleasure in pain
- Discover the masochist, sadist or sadomasochist in yourself
- Explore your boundaries and engage in self-discovery
- Explore how to enjoy giving and receiving pain safely
- Identify where pain becomes pleasurable for you
- Practice giving and receiving pain in a safe and consensual environment
We want to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable exploring their boundaries. We want to make it clear that the pain we work with in this workshop is limited to that which can only leave temporary marks. We will not be working with pain that involves piercing the skin, or any form of play that involves body fluids. Such as needle play, blood play, or any other activity that goes underneath the skin.
