Beyond The Collar - Pick-up Play vs. Pre-Planned Scenes

Beyond the Collar is a weekly zoom call held every Tuesday from 7:30-8:30PM EST that explores the perspectives of two slaves (Mary and Natalie) and their shared Master (Joshua). Beyond the Collar is open for everyone on either or both sides of the slash: new, experienced, returning and curious. Come prepared to engage in thought-provoking conversations that challenge societal norms and explore topics ranging from Power Exchange Dynamics, polyamory, personal growth, and 101s within the BDSM and Kink community. Zoom Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89697096702 Questions for this week's discussion from 12/10/24: 1. Define “negotiation”. What is a “negotiation” in relation to BDSM and Kink? 2. What is “pick-up play”? How does a “pick-up play” scene negotiation differ from a pre-planned scene negotiation? 3. Please share some key components to a successful negotiation. Do you have any absolute necessities to discuss before play? How do you determine these necessities for yourself? 4. How do you determine a person's character and/or decide if a person you want to play/engage with is trustworthy and displays an honest and good intention? Share some green and red flags in relation to a person's character. 5. For you, what is the most difficult part of negotiating and why? How will you improve on it? Do you have any resources or tools to recommend for improving negotiation skills? Follow us on social media!
