Aftercare is an absolute must for being a kink connoisseur. In this workshop with Violet, you will learn the ins and outs of what happens in one’s brain when a kink scene is occurring, and why that makes aftercare so necessary. You’ll learn how to complete the response cycle and create positive and uplifting experiences for your and your partner. Violet will answer questions and cover topics such as:
- What is aftercare?
- What are subdrop and domdrop?
- What happens in the brain during kink scene?
- How to negotiate your aftercare needs as a submissive
- Communication tips for expressing your aftercare needs
- Social implications of prioritizing needs
