Workshop description All good things must end - Negotiating Aftercare We've all had that amazing scene… that left us feeling empty afterwards. We've had those bad scenes, that somehow worked out in the end, and we recovered from them alright - perhaps even more in touch with our partner or with ourselves…. Aftercare can make a monumental difference in the outcome of a scene - good, thoughtful aftercare can take a bad scene and create some learning lessons from it - a needed step on the road to better scenes in the future. Poor, thoughtless aftercare (or none at all) can leave one or both participants in the scene feeling abandoned or discarded, and tarnish the memory of what might have otherwise been an incredibly hot scene! Aftercare is a continuation of the scene, after you've left the spanking bench, and is as much a part of a good scene as the negotiation that preceded it. It brings both top and bottom back to a resting place for mind, body, and spirit. In this workshop we'll discuss problem-solving scenarios - please come with your discreet experiences ready to share. We'll also discuss negotiating aftercare, how to recognize what you need, and how to ask for more regardless of your orientation. We'll also discuss techniques for tops and bottoms alike, particularly useful for those just beginning to play, or anyone thinking of starting to play with a new partner. This workshop is upcoming.
