This class explores solo play as a form of self-care, with a focus on solo sadomasochism: deriving pleasure from intense sensations delivered by and to the self.  

We'll discuss motivations for solo play; the concept of self-consent; negotiations, safe-words, and aftercare in solo play; solo Domination and submission; and how to differentiate trauma-informed solo play from self-harm.  

Facilitated by monkpunk aka Ley David Elliette Cray, PhD (she/they), founder of Transentience Coaching and LGBTQIA+ Curriculum Coordinator for the Sexual Health Alliance. She is currently co-facilitating SHA’s Kink-Informed Certification program with Midori.
