Class Description

Humiliation without Body Negativity

We often associate humiliation with feeling ashamed about our bodies or mind. For those who struggle with body image, that can mean not wanting to engage in humiliation play. But what if you really like being squirmy, shy, and embarrassed in front of people? What if you really want to explore humiliation in a positive way? The reality is that humiliation can be achieved in many different ways, and different tactics make different people “tick.” This class delves into the ways that positive and even affirming language can be used to create humiliation scenes where the bottom doesn’t have to worry about feeling ashamed of their body or intellect.

Presenter Bio:

AJ Renard (she/her) has been involved in the BDSM world her entire adult life, although she was a dark little thing far before that. AJ is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and has a deep passion for teaching about the intersection of BDSM and mental health. She finds her happy place when there is rope, electricity, knives, boots, fear, and a lot of crying involved. In her limited free time she makes custom chainmaille for her shop, Foxy Feisty Redhead.

AJ teaches a variety of classes about consent, negotiations, perspectives on D/s, bottoming for intense scenes and edgeplay, mental health and BDSM, and behavioral science in PE dynamics. Additionally she often teaches about BDSM in non-kink spaces, hoping to de-stigmatize kink for therapists and medical professionals. She also loves demo bottoming for Violet Wand demos, and things that make her shy in front of groups of people.
