Topping to the Next Level: Hot Negotiation
If you think negotiation is finding out what your bottom likes and doesn't like, you're missing the best parts.
Negotiation is the foundation for the scene.
It establishes consent, builds trust, sets a tone, creates expectations and identifies boundaries. With the right tools, it can also be hot, seductive and wickedly effective.
We'll explore:
- What is the real purpose of negotiation?
- Where does the negotiation end and the scene begin?
- What objectives should you pursue when you negotiate?
- When should your negotiation NOT lead to a scene?
- What is your negotiation style?
- Does your style suite your purpose and persona?
- What are some specific techniques for eliciting engagement, obtaining consent and gathering information?
Learn how to negotiate more powerfully and effectively. You're scenes will be better for it.
Topping to the Next Level: How to Push
When is it OK to push your bottom? How do you push them safely, ethically, and effectively?
If you've got that mastered, try this: how do you push yourself?
Topics we'll be covering include:
- Getting someone outside their comfort zone
- Helping your bottom receive stimulus and process play
- Creating tension in your scenes
- Working with a bottom who asks you to push them harder or says "I'm afraid of this but I want to try it?"
- Encouraging your bottom to try something they're unsure of
- Learning from someone's "never done it" history
- Gracefully managing the intensity of a scene
- Helping bottoms push through barriers
- Renegotiating during a scene
- Recognizing "hard limits" vs. "soft limits"
