Have you ever heard someone say “kinkshaming is bad, but some kinks deserve to be shamed”? If so, do you agree? If you do, how do we decide? If you don’t, how do you stand up for yourself? And in either case, how do we practice kink in a way that aligns with our ethics, without succumbing to shaming from others?

“Un(a)shamed” is a reflective and writing-based workshop that will move us beyond simple slogans and assumptions, and challenge us to articulate — to ourselves and future partners — our values and ethical boundaries. We will review some different ways of thinking about kink ethics (from a practical perspective, not a hard philosophy one, don’t worry!) and then work through a series of guided writing exercises to help us think about what feels right and wrong in our hearts, bringing those feelings into alignment with our principles, and articulating those feelings to others.

Join this workshop if you would like to…

  • Explore a practical approach to kink ethics, reviewing some different frameworks
  • Think about your own ethics, what assumptions you (or the people around you) may be making about what’s good and bad, and whether you want to articulate those assumptions, or maybe even change them
  • Learn how to incorporate ethics into your negotiations and community participation
