Anatomy & Safety for BDSM

BDSM is fun,
but also carries risks.

BDSM is an exciting and wide-ranging field, but it also carries many pitfalls and (unexpected) risks. There's no such thing as 100% safety. Still, we want to look at typical risks and injuries, so we can minimize how likely they are to occur and, should they occur anyway, keep the harm as small as possible.

Workshop content

This course covers important, safety-relevant fundamentals for bondage and SM. Anatomy is essential basic knowledge, but so is knowledge of your own body, communicating about it, backups and fallback plans, as well as the right way to behave in case of injury or when problems start to show.

The course includes both lecture-style and dialogue/hands-on elements. There's also time to address your questions!

Typical dangers and risks in BDSM

SSC vs. RACK - how to do it right

Anatomy & where the "red zones" are

Agreements, responsibilities, and what reality (unfortunately) also looks like

Real case examples of accidents and a discussion round

Participant questions

Target audiences

This course is for everyone who is (or wants to be) into BDSM, regardless of level or role. Anatomy and safety is a topic that always matters, and regular refreshers help you keep the key points in mind and reduce risks.

You can take part solo, as a couple, or as a polycule.

Prerequisites

No prior knowledge is required. If you'd like to bring your own stories and topics, you're welcome to do so.

NICHT Inhalte

This workshop is not medical or legal advice and cannot replace your own risk assessment. It helps you form a better picture of your own. Responsibility lies with the participants. You can also attend the workshop alone.

Organizational details

This workshop is available both online and in person.
