Workshop description What are you? What am I? - Identification & Orientation Defining roles can be useful - particularly when you are new to the lifestyle or new to your relationship. In this workshop we'll first identify different terms - submissive, top, switch, dominant, etc… and define reasonable definitions that we can (generally) agree on. Then we'll work on self-defining ourselves - how do we fit into these larger definitions. We'll also discuss how to successfully explain or project your role, and thus have a better chance and opportunity at 'meeting your match'. This workshop will also cover what qualities to look for in a good top/bottom/etc - both "hard skills", soft skills" and attributes. We'll also talk about sexual orientations - our community explores more than just the straight-gay duality, and instead we're likely to come across bisexuality, heteroflexibility, queer heterosexuality, genderfucks, transfolk, asexuality, and more… if a lesbian dates a transman - is she suddenly straight? A gay man dating a MTF - is he gay pre-op and straight post-op? Does gender have a border - and do you need a passport to cross? This workshop is designed for those who are new to the lifestyle or the community, however anyone who might be transitioning their role or re-thinking their sexual orientation may also find this workshop useful. Of course, we can only learn from one another, and the inclusion of more advanced players will be useful to creating a more dynamic discussion. This workshop is upcoming.
