Why do I Like This? Exploring Emotional Masochism

Lead by toy

This class will explore elements of play often considered the most taboo – diving into someone’s psyche and finding ways to hurt them psychologically, emotionally, and sexually.

Whether for an evening, a weekend, or longer; emotional masochism and humiliation can be very appealing to many – but often leaves us in pain or discomfort much longer than any physical wounds would last.We will explore different arrangements and ways to make this play as safe as possible: both from a bottom and top’s perspective. As well as look at ways to minimize long-term damage or trauma and what type of arrangement might be right for you.We will also discuss the elements of emotional-torture that will inflict the most amount of pain to your bottom; whether for a one-time play session, a weekend, a longer-term sustained dynamic – and what pitfalls we face when we walk this line on a more prolonged basis.
