About This Event

Fear play comes in a huge variety of flavours, intensities, and impacts. There is fear play that is about actual terror, but there is also fear play that is about pretend fear, ‘in scene’ fear, where I know you’re not going to cut me but the thrill of having a knife to my throat adds flavour. This class covers the spectrum of options: fear play as a way of flavouring a scene while keeping things humane and low (actual) risk, what to consider when turning up intensity, options/progressions to increase response while minimizing physical or psychological danger.
