"Negotiating Well With Others... and Yourself" Slides

These are class slides for Lee Harrington's Class "Negotiating Well With Others... and Yourself."

At every turn, er*tic adventurers are encouraged to know their needs and limits, express them to partners, and negotiate! negotiate! negotiate! It is common to feel overwhelmed and uncertain how or where to begin, what to bring up, or what to focus on – even for the most extroverted pervert. Let’s take an opportunity to use negotiation as foreplay, self-exploration, and a road map to our most intimate fantasies, and then come back to developing our skills for negotiating with others, whether for play or within relationships. There are so many approaches to negotiation we can take! Remember, negotiation is a practice and takes practice – none of us are perfect at it straight out of the gate. New, experienced, shy, outgoing, top, or bottom; everyone can benefit from the skills and ideas explored in this class.
