Fear play Basics and beyond by SourPatchSadist

Thursday, June 11 · 7:00 PM–8:15 PM
ATL 1 · Workshop/Class

Fear play is an intense and rewarding edge of BDSM, where psychological tension and trust meet. This class explores how to use fear intentionally and safely to deepen connection, enhance emotional impact, and build powerful shared experiences. Designed for beginners and intermediate players, this session focuses on the foundations of psychological technique, negotiation, consent, and safety in fear-based scenes. You’ll learn how to use anticipation, environment, and controlled unpredictability to create intensity without harm. Through lecture and live demonstration, we’ll cover practical strategies for scene design, maintaining emotional and physical safety, and building trust before, during, and after play. Participants will leave with the knowledge and confidence to incorporate fear responsibly and creatively into their dynamics.

SELF is incredibly grateful to our sponsors who make magic possible.
