Pain and pleasure: Find pleasure in pain

In this workshop, you will explore the fascinating and complex relationship between pain and pleasure. Through interactive exercises and discussions, you will discover ways to find pleasure in pain, learn how to identify their “7 in pain” (the point where pain becomes pleasurable), and practice giving and receiving pain in a safe and consensual environment.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore your boundaries, challenge your assumptions, and expand your understanding of the dynamic interplay between pleasure and pain.
