Talk: Exploring Power, Play & Pleasure with Dr Lori Beth Bisbey

Power is a turn on. Surrendering control, seizing it – these acts make it possible for many of us to allow ourselves pleasure for pleasure’s sake, to be purely sexual, to step out of the societal expected roles. Fantasies about being served or serving others are common and the basis for tons of erotica and even mainstream movies. Join Dr Lori Beth Bisbey in this electrifying talk, and delve into the intricate interplay of power dynamics in sexual and romantic relationships.

This talk will offer an overview of power dynamics in and out of the bedroom, discussing different roles in power dynamics and how we make these safe through consent, negotiation and contracts. We will then explore creative ways to experiment with power dynamics in the bedroom and in your wider relationships. We will also look at highlighting power dynamics in an existing relationship. Lastly we will explore how to find new partners to enjoy power dynamics with, and how to do so safely.
