BDSMROM
This workshop is for authors in the romance genre who dabble BDSM in any form, be it writing spanking stories, light bondage, or like myself, heavier darker things. What authors often fail to recognize about Kink and BDSM is that the term BDSM is a BLANKET TERM encompassing many different things that if utilized properly and marketed appropriately can expand an author’s audience.

Join Sascha and learn:
  • BDSM definitions and basics
  • Identifying abuse (and steering your writing away!)
  • Sub/Dom and everything in between role playing
  • Toys and more!
Syllabus
What we’ll cover:
• Definition of BDSM in all forms
• SSC vx. RACK
• Explanation of the BDSM symbol
• Mentality of the various players (there’s truly only three but variants are fun!)
• Definition of a Scene
• Structure of a Scene (music, equipment, etc)
• Basics on toys and reasons we use them (hint, it’s for our fun!)
• Sub and Dom/me Space
• The Club Scene (along with a story about real estate and my ego beating lol!)
• Role play
• Definition of Fetish
• Basic types of fetishes while debunking some of the more common fetish myths.
• Fakers – Those who claim to be everything to all people!
• ABUSE defined – crossing the line between BDSM and Abuse
• Where to go to ask questions and not feel embarrassed
• How all of this relates to romance writing
And of course, resources galore!

Class was more in-depth and insightful than I anticipated. While I was mostly, the only student to participate (i.e. making comments), I felt I received a great deal from this class.

The instructor was intelligent,extremely knowledgeable about the topic, and humor. I am already looking forward to his next class.

I gave this class a top rating, which it deserves.

The only think that would have made this class better, would have been more participation from other students. That is not anything your group or the instructor can resolve. The subject matter is something many people are not comfortable discussing.
