Embracing Dichotomy: Strong Slaves, Bodacious Bottoms & Ass-Kicking Submissives

Self-identification is difficult for anyone in the alternative lifestyle. It can be even more challenging for people who see themselves as strong in their lives but desirous of submission.� There is a great deal of pressure in the BDSM community to "seem submissive," so what do you do when you see yourself as strong and fierce and yet crave mastery and domination?

Believe me, you are not alone. There are many submissives and bottoms and slaves who are strong and independent, and are finding their way through the maze of the Kink Community!

This class is an intense discussion of self-assessment, personal identification, passion and power. From those who struggle with their desire to submit, to those who strive for greater strength of purpose, this class will be a wonderful opportunity to bond with the like minded and suss out your strength in an open setting.

And for tops dominants and masters, this is an excellent opportunity to get into the mind of those who are strong and embrace the dichotomy of strength in submission and freedom in slavery!
