CNC 101: Introduction to Consensual Non Consent Play

When does no not really mean no? This class will take you through the process of inquiry to determine for yourself if you are ready to engage in the edge that is Consensual Non Consent play. Then we will discuss the ever-important process of negotiation and consent to CNC that makes this form of play a viable source of excitement to enhance your kink scenes, while keeping everyone in the scene physically, mentally, and emotionally safe. CNC isn’t for everyone, but if you think it might be for you, come learn how to engage in it ethically and mindfully to reduce the likelihood of causing hurt and harm, and increasing the likelihood that you and your partners will want to engage in it again and even make it a part of your regular play.
