Class : Femme in the Kink Scenes: Bottoming & Topping W/ Midori
2024-09-27 15:00 - 16:30 | Stop Gap, SOMA, San Francisco, United States
Femme in the Kink Scenes: Bottoming & Topping W/ Midori

Description

Kink and Rope subcultures can often feel unwelcoming or uncomfortable to femmes. Femme, in all their glorious variations, experience stereotyping, discrimination, and even limited educational opportunities. We can even internalize these biases and assumptions. This can lead to self-limitation, frustration, a sense of inadequacy, disempowerment, and engaging in activities not aligned with our true desires. It takes away from fulfilling play and enjoyable community participation.
Midori facilitates this discussion, focusing on identifying issues and practical everyday strategies.

We will explore alternative representations and archetypes beyond the stereotypes. We’ll consider practical somatic strategies for empowered femme bottoming and joyous femme topping.
Expect some fun exercises as well.
Everyone welcome.
Civility manditory.
Compassion expected.
