Max Presents Romantic Interludes: Sexy and Playful Exploration for Couples
Curious about how kink might deepen your connections and build intimacy? Already added some BDSM practices into your life, but interested in exploring different dynamics in your relationship? Or maybe you've encountered kink and find it attractive, but you're not sure how to make it a positive, empowering part of your relationship?
Whatever your situation, kink can be one of the most effective ways to build intimacy in a relationship.
In this workshop we'll explore using the playfulness and power of BDSM to explore edges, build trust, and move your relationships to the next level.
Knowing what you want - and don't want - is fundamental to intimacy. We'll discuss and explore tools for self-awareness, communication, building consent, and avoiding compliance.
With that as a foundation, we'll lead you and your partner through some fun activities where you can explore intimacy while building kinky skills and playing with power dynamics. You're never obligated to participate, of course - you can always just watch and listen.
We'll explore spanking, rope, hoods and restraints, hair pulling, role play, dirty talk, playing with power, erotic hypnosis… The options are endless!
Join us for an afternoon of exploration and connection!.
Workshop format
This workshop will include lecture, demos and a lot of hands-on exploration. You're always welcome to sit out an exercise, of course - participation is voluntary and defined by your and your partner’s consent. There will be plenty of time for Q&A too.
