HMU Academy: Gender and D/s

This Hit Me Up event is open to the public, 21+.

Historically, BDSM has focused on embodying the roles of Dominant and submissive within cisgender, heterosexual male/female relationships. This often pressures individuals to mirror these traditional expressions. But how do these definitions change in the context of queerness and gender-fluid relationships? This class will explore how to express power and service across a gender spectrum, drawing from masculine, feminine, and non-binary identities to help participants authentically express themselves in these roles.
