Class Description:

Forced sex roleplay, fear, blood, interrogation, resistance… playing on the brink can be vastly rewarding, but also psychologically and physically dangerous (which is of course part of the appeal). Stefanos & Shay will demonstrate & discuss types of edge play scenes, negotiation & aftercare for this type of play, and the how & why of taking yourself (and your partner/s) to the limit…and then pulling them (and yourself) back.

This class includes numerous demos, including emotional edge play, sexual consensual non-consent, gun play, blood/needles, use of “trigger words,” and rough body play, as well as discussion about limits and risk awareness in the context of edge play. Throughout, Stefanos & Shay emphasize using edge play for catharsis and empowerment.

This class is not for beginners and contains content that many participants find triggering (often in unexpected ways). NO LATE ENTRY allowed for this session.
