About the Class

This class will give real-world advice for any power dynamic-based relationships/interactions, whether for a scene or for long term 24/7 TPE (Total Power Exchange).
We will explore:

  • Service Dynamic: Understanding your current dynamic and potentially the ways in which you may want to morph your dynamic.
  • Love: Understanding how you express your love -- and how you can better express it more often, even when you're apart or long distance.
  • Values: Realizing your shared values.
  • Meaningful Service: Curating service that speaks to your love languages and values.
  • Reality: Understanding your/partner's finite resources (physical and mental).
  • Eroticization: Service may not always be always sexy or fun. Learn ways to physically and mentally eroticize service.
  • Enforcement: Fostering service through protocols/rules (directly or self-monitoring) and/or punishment (mental/physical).
  • Acknowledgement/Appreciation: Acknowledging service in a way that your s-type feels praised/rewarded/encouraged.
  • Support: Seeking out a community so you can learn from your peers.
