It’s no secret that power exchange dynamics can be difficult to build and maintain. The secret often seems to be “why?”. What is it that those in successful dynamics have figured out? Often it comes down to building a solid foundation based on your personal values rather than the contract you found on google or what sounded sexy when you wrote it up. In this class, attendees will have the opportunity to hear both the Master/Dominant and the slave/submissive perspectives on building and adopting a values-based power exchange dynamic. Beast (he/him) and echo (she/her) will discuss the tools and tricks they used to create a strong and sustainable dynamic, as well as many of the ways they found that did not work for them.

Master Ben and Naomi have been in a committed, monogamous M/s relationship for more than a decade. They believe hierarchical relationships can be highly beneficial when practiced with intent, compassion, humility and humor. They have presented at various regional M/s and Leather events.
Some see M/s relationships as the "brass ring" of power exchange.

In this class, we will explore prerequisites for healthy M/s relationships and the participants in such relationships.
In this moderated discussion, we will explore a variety of biases in power exchange relationships - based on gender, relationship position, and relationship dynamic - and how to combat these biases.

You met the person of your dreams! You want to take control of or surrender to them. It should be easy right?! You both want the same thing, but now you are having the same fight over control and power every three months. Why? Why won’t they just take it? Why won’t they just give it?! Through a combination of theoretical exploration, case studies, personal anecdotes, and experiential exercises, participants will gain the insights and tools necessary to navigate complex power struggles and conflict within Power Exchange relationships to help stop having the same fight every three months.
This thought-provoking presentation explores codependency in Power Exchange and kink. Codependency is a complex pattern of interaction that can occur in any type of relationship, but due to the power imbalance in Power Exchange and cultural context of the kink community, can be particularly difficult to navigate.

Understanding yourself is extremely important in any relationship building.

Master PlaineJane will cover the purpose, uses, types, as well as options for communicating your personal standards, core values, and skill set(s).

There are five phases of relationships, and your M/s dynamic is not exempt. In this discussion, we will identify and define the five phases. We will also share tools to help determine which phase of the relationship you are currently in, and how to seek support during each phase to maintain a healthy relationship cycle. We will share our thoughts on how to promote longevity in your dynamic, from making a conscious effort to take things slowly, and knowing when to say when we'll discuss ways to identify what does or does not work for you and your partner(s). This discussion will be one you don’t want to miss.
A decade and counting. The seasoned dynamic, when you’ve fallen into a comfortable pattern, what makes the plateau pleasurable? Understanding when and how to relish your accomplishments and when comfort becomes stagnant.

Master Trent began his kink/leather journey in 1983, and slave kelly in 1994. They have been together since 2008. Both identify as poly, pansexual, leatherfolk. Appearing to be a het couple, they often tell people; “Let’s get one thing straight…we aren’t.” Since she identifies as a boy (and a butler), they have a mix of Master/slave AND Daddy/boy dynamics in their personal relationship. They currently produce the Southwest Master/slave regional contest.
In a M/s dynamic it is often difficult for a Master to find the balance between control and compassion. Even in high-level authority exchange relationships there needs to be an understanding that "everything" can't fall on the shoulders of the slave, well, at least not for very long. How do we adjust roles and tasks to maximize quality time and balance.

Hiya, Libertines! I’m Amanda Wolf. I’m a sex and relationship coach. For real! What a dreamy job, right?! I’ve been doing that via counseling, corporate training, and personal coaching for 25+ years. I’ve been polyamorous and kinky all my life, but I didn’t discover the scene until 2017. Many less fortunate people have to choose between authenticity and community. How fortunate are we to have such a rich, connected community to share ourselves (and our freak flags) fully?!
Negotiating humiliation play is a landmine in itself! How do I degrade you, keep you erotically charged, and avoid your real life landmines? If you know your bottom’s love languages and their specific currency, you can design scenes to specifically target emotional, physical, or existential masochism. We will do practical exercises to help tops and bottoms determine what kind of activities highlight which sadistic and masochistic experiences they want to have.
