EmDizzy, also known as Mx Dizzy (they/them) has been sharing their growing knowledge and experience with the world since August 2021 as a founder, producer, and host of The Kinky Tavern Podcast. Mx Dizzy is a gender nonconforming, femme-presenting, pansexual, relationship-anarchist and demisexual Princexx. Their journey in the kink realm began in 2015, initially exploring as a submissive and pain-slut. Over time, they have delved into various roles and positions, ultimately finding their truest self in the role of Princexx, which in their case, they define as “a Dominant little who gets what they want.” Em has gained personal experience navigating the “community” as a neurodivergent human managing several chronic illnesses and mental health conditions. Mx Dizzy’s passion for leather, BDSM, kink, sexuality, and accessibility knows no bounds. Their overarching objective within the “community” is to promote education, normalization, and the creation of a safe and inclusive space for all individuals. Their dedication to these principles is evident in their efforts to support and uplift the community as a whole.

If you’re autistic or AuDHD, you could use some sensory joy in your life- let us show you how to increase that through the powers of Age Play! Sabrina & Kade, two autistic/AuDHD kinky therapists, are going to explain why sensory joy matters, how to determine your unique sensory profile, and how to connect it to Age Play activities. (Special attention will be given to BPD, queer, and trans considerations.) You’ll leave the session feeling ready to explore, with many ideas on how to regulate, and be empowered to harness the therapeutic benefits of Age Play.

Negotiation is not only about defining limits; it is the meeting of two ecosystems. Not two individuals, but two ecologies—histories, rhythms, sensory profiles, traumas, pleasures, and impossibilities. When these ecologies touch, they create an ecotone: a threshold alive with new relational possibilities. In this space, negotiation becomes the tending of a shared, sensitive edge.  This workshop uses ecological metaphor as a hands-on method for negotiating between dysphoric, disabled, neurodivergent, or otherwise non-normative bodies. The approach reduces pressure for exposure and honors opacity as a poetics of relation: bodies can be known without being fully revealed. Participants map themselves as landscapes—gardens with protected moss, coastlines with shifting tides, forests with hidden clearings—and partners (or solo practitioners) approach as visitors or neighboring ecosystems, learning where to step lightly, where to pause, and where not to enter.  Here, boundaries become terrains.  Negotiation becomes relational ecology.  And new possibilities grow in the ecotone between us.

In this panel session, we're diving into a fascinating and important topic: how Cluster B personality disorders and the traits associated with them intersect with kink and BDSM. This panel is a space to openly explore how mental health challenges and identities influence, and are influenced by, kink practices, dynamics, ethics, and communities.

We'll discuss topics like stigma, self-awareness, consent, and how to maintain mental wellness within kink spaces. Whether you're new to these conversations or a seasoned community member with a Cluster B disorder yourself, you'll gain insights into how these subjects can weave together in ways that are empowering, complex, and deserving of respect.

Dominance When AuDHD explores what it means to lead, top, or play from an autistic and/or ADHD brain. Neurodivergent dominance often looks different from the “classic” archetypes; more direct, more sensory-driven, more ritualized, more creative, and sometimes more chaotic. This class breaks down the strengths AuDHD folks bring to power exchange, as well as the challenges: executive-function strain, communication differences, sensory overwhelm, emotional flooding, and burnout.

We’ll cover practical tools for planning scenes, negotiating without losing the thread, reading partners when cues feel unclear, managing sensory load, pacing intensity, and building structures that support both authority and accessibility. We’ll also discuss aftercare for tops, meta-communication, and integrating your needs into your dominance style without masking.

Open to all roles and experience levels, especially anyone who’s ever thought, “I’m a great dom, I just wish my brain came with an upgrade manual.”

The Erotic Mask is a psychologically reflective workshop on kink personas, crafted roles, and emotional strategy. Participants will explore how erotic masks can protect, reveal, or transform us, both in scenes and in ourselves. Through discussion, journaling, and persona-building exercises, we’ll examine how to construct roles with intention, identify the labor behind performance, and navigate the emotional cost of staying in character. This session honors the power of archetype, fantasy, and chosen identity while making space for quiet self-inquiry. From the Brat to the Femme Fatale, from the Handler to the Doll; your persona is not a lie, but a ritual. Come ready to write, reflect, and unmask with care. Best suited for intermediate kinksters with an interest in emotional nuance and psychological edge.
