Liquid Will: An Introduction to Waterboarding
Waterboarding can be clinical or frightening, but also playful, intimate, and enjoyable. In this class we’ll consider how those different intentions affect a scene and the responsibilities of everyone involved. This is an introduction to waterboarding for people with an existing foundation in kink, consent, and negotiation. We focus on one primary method and a few small variations. We’ll cover the basic anatomy and body responses that help explain its risks, waterboarding-specific negotiation, and how individual health, experience, and circumstances affect a risk profile. We’ll also discuss monitoring, recognizing when something is going wrong, troubleshooting, and aftercare, including emotional and relational effects people may not expect. This class includes a live demonstration.
