SUMMARY:Owning Your Power: Femme Sadism with Bluejai
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \n\nClass Description\nClaim your appetite for intensity—without apology. Owning Your Power: Femme Sadism is an affirming\, skills-forward workshop for anyone who identifies as female\, femme\, or feminine who’s curious about—or already practicing—sadism in consensual kink. We’ll unpack the baggage around the word “sadist\,” map the difference between dominance and sadism\, and explore what femme power looks like in the scene\, especially when your partner is physically larger or stronger. Expect practical tools for negotiation\, scene design\, risk navigation\, and aftercare—plus confidence-building frameworks to name and own what you want. \nNotes \n\nInclusive of trans women\, nonbinary femmes\, and all bodies.\nContent will discuss pain\, power exchange\, and restraint in a consent-centered way.\n\nLearning Outcomes: \nBy the end of this class\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine sadism in a kink context and articulate how it differs from dominance and from “femdom” as an aesthetic/genre.\nIdentify and challenge social conditioning that makes many femme tops reluctant to claim “sadist.”\nNegotiate clearly for enthusiastic\, informed consent (RACK/SSC)\, including limits\, risk tradeoffs\, and aftercare needs.\nDesign and control scenes with partners who are physically larger/stronger\, using leverage\, positioning\, pacing\, communication\, and environmental controls.\nApply trauma-aware\, identity-inclusive practices to cultivate safety\, respect\, and resilience.\nBuild a personal code of ethical sadism and a roadmap for ongoing skill development.\n\nWho This Class Is For: \n\nAnyone who identifies as female\, femme\, or feminine—from curious beginners to seasoned tops looking to refine their craft.\nAll those in support of femme sadists are welcome.\n\n\nPresenter Bio\nBluejai\, aka “The Original” Jen\, has been kicking around the public scene since 1998\, when she unknowingly stumbled into her first play party while attending a non-kink convention in Atlanta. Over her long tenure in the public scene\, she has been an active volunteer with Black Rose\, The Crucible\, BBN\, CLUE\, and Camp Crucible. \nWhile she has since hung up her volunteer badge\, Bluejai still loves teaching on a variety of kink topics. When she is not doing the kinky stuff\, she can usually be found in her garage working on any number of furniture refinishing projects\, stalking thrift shops for vintage finds\, or hanging out with her husband\, Shutterdoll\, and their four furry overlords.\n \n\nTo minimize disruption\, there will be no admittance after 8:30. \nThis is not a play party. Do not attempt to engage in scenes or solicit others for play\, except for labbing as part of a workshop-style class. \nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org
