ETHICAL FEMINIZATION IN BDSM
ASSFEST M25 | RIM | 14.05.25 | MOSS STUDIOS | NAARM (MELBOURNE)
Feminization as a BDSM concept has been through many changes in the past decades as our understanding and experiences of gender and sexuality evolve. How do we engage with this practice in a safe, sane and consensual way?
We’ll discuss the importance of communication, consent and respect in Feminization play, while still being able to engage authentically and intentionally with this practice. The evolution of gender roles in different cultural contexts will be explored, examining stereotypes and how it has shaped our triggers and shame responses.
By considering our individual & interactive ethical viewpoints for making informed, responsible and respectful decisions in BDSM power dynamics, we can develop frameworks that will shape authentic and powerful narratives for play that adhere to our principles and best practices.
Key Topics
Consent and Communication
Negotiation and Boundaries/limits/ safe words.
Evolution of gender roles, Triggers and shame, Feminine myths and stereotypes
Developing ethical frameworks to play with Feminization
Aftercare: Prioritizing aftercare and emotional support for top and bottom.
