Bottoming with Intent: Beneath the Surface

Design your bottoming blueprint

Level: All levels

Class style: Lecture and discussion

So many of us bottoms enthusiastically jump into play relationships without a clear understanding of what we want or how to get it. In this approach, we rely on trial and error to discover what we like – which can lead to disappointment and resentment. Trial and error doesn’t give us a high likelihood of finding what works for us because we’re only exposed to what the available tops around us offer, even if it’s not what we’re looking for. Many of us wish we had a blueprint to help us design more successful and rewarding play. A blueprint is what this class aims to offer you.

Together we will:

  • Investigate our wants, desires, and needs

  • Map what we want to how we can get it out of play

  • List the risks associated with the play we want to do

  • Establish risk mitigation strategies for the risks we are willing to take

  • Establish a risk/reward profile to understand how to do the play we like in a way that works with our risk tolerance

  • Practice establishing and communicating boundaries

  • Learn who we are, and based on that, who would be a good match for us

Come to this class to explore the foundational aspects of bottoming including understanding yourself and your play. We will help you lay the groundwork for rewarding play experiences centered around your desires, boundaries, and risk tolerance.
