Pre-requisites & Materials:
- A notebook/journal and pen
- Basic understanding of consent and negotiation in kink.
- Experience participating in or observing BDSM scenes.
- Familiarity with common aftercare practices.
Content Advisory: This class discusses sensory overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, chronic illness, disability, and trauma-informed approaches. Includes discussion of consent violations, accidental overwhelm, and emotional distress as part of safety planning, though no graphic descriptions are included. Participants are welcome to step away or take breaks whenever needed.
About the Class:
A scene doesn’t become memorable because it is more intense. It becomes memorable because it is designed for the people experiencing it. When a nervous system reaches overwhelm, even the most carefully planned scene can unravel. This class explores how to create scenes that are immersive, intense, and deeply satisfying while working with the body’s capacity instead of against it.
Designed for people with heightened sensory processing, including neurodivergent players, people living with chronic illness or chronic pain, and anyone with a particularly sensitive or easily dysregulated nervous system, this class is valuable for anyone who wants to create more accessible, sustainable, and body-aware kink experiences.
Through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and scene design exercises, you will learn how to negotiate for sensory needs, recognize early signs of overload, pace stimulation intentionally, and adapt scenes in real time as the nervous system responds. We will explore how different types of stimulation interact, how to balance anticipation, novelty, pain, pleasure, restraint, and recovery, and how thoughtful negotiation and aftercare can transform a good scene into an exceptional one.
About Your Facilitator:
Madame Selana (she/her) is a certified NLP, REBT and CCBT therapist from Achology.
A rigger and kink educator since 2018, and the founder of the Venusian Society, she teaches kink as scholarship and desire as ritual. From shibari to advanced BDSM practices, she creates spaces where consent, power, and erotic curiosity collide with precision and care. As someone living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and AuADHD, she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work, offering practical, body-aware education grounded in accessibility, curiosity, and compassionate kink.
In addition to her independent work, she is a guest facilitator and creator for Cyprus Pride, Athens Pride, Coven Magick Market, Service Oriented Conference,and more.
Her classes, workshops, and events are designed to stretch boundaries safely, honour desire ethically, and invite participants to explore intimacy, power, and sensation with clarity.
