TES-TNG Group: How to Play Now without Paying Later, with Sir Vice & Soumise

What are the long term repercussions of play? If it doesn’t cause immediate injury, are we still setting ourselves up for problems down the road? I’m a top, what could be happening to me? Let’s face it, as much as we might wish it so, one day we will no longer be in our 20’s, but hopefully we’ll still be inhabiting our body. How can our play today impact the long term health of our body? While there isn’t a lot of research available on BDSM Play and long term health concerns, there is research from other traumatic (yes even if we enjoy it, our physical being might be experiencing trauma) events on the body. We’ll discuss play, research and then suggest some ways to assess and modify (if needed) your risk exposure. This class works best when attendees are open to sharing their concerns, experiences and maybe even getting some of their techniques looked at to improve play ergonomics.
