SUMMARY:Importance of Communication & Calling Colors/Safe Words
DESCRIPTION:How often do you find that someone can actually read your mind and tell what you need or want and when you need or want it? Me either!\nThat is why open and honest communication is so vitally important in\nrelationships and especially in a D/s dynamic.\nThis discussion will encompass how to open up, how to tell your Dominant or\nsubmissive what you need and want. How to have those difficult discussions that delve deep into your kinky side.\nMost submissives hate to use yellow or red for fear of disappointing the dom or top. They don’t understand that its for their safety, that they control the scene. This discussion is aimed at this misconception and covers in depth the need for using colors to protect both the sub/bottom and Dom/Top during a scene.\nPRESENTER:\n**Lady Leigh began her lifestyle journey as a submissive with her husband of 43 years. During their journey they were fortunate to meet others who taught them how to play safely. As a way to give back, she is dedicated to the presentation of education for the community & firmly believes in “each one teach one.” She travels to teach because it’s just that important.\nShe is the owner of the LoftNC, a Studio and Social Club (http://www.loftnc.com) in Gastonia (just outside of Charlotte) which gives the community a place to come play and to receive education and support in a healthy and safe manner.\nShe is also the co-owner of http://www.SoaringEagleCreations.com with her partner, MSquared- and together they produce wonderful leather toys for your kinky pleasure.\nCOVID/FLU/RSV\nIf you are feeling any of the symptoms of COVID/FLU or RSV or if you have been in close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID PLEASE STAY HOME. If you think you’ve been around someone who has been in contact…STAY HOME.\nDO NOT COME IF:\n\nyou are seeking sex\nyou want to have sex\nyou want to watch sex\nyou want to masturbate\nin other words if you want to watch sex or have sex you are coming to the wrong place.
