A round table to establish a safe place for men to discuss openly their feelings around the perception of men in the community. Discussion questions like How does it feel to be considered automatically not safe? How can we reframe our thinking about it to align with community values? Are we supposed to be compromising our egos as culture evolves? How does it feel to be placed under the expectation of being a strong dominant man then also be asked to be equitable, to make space by being smaller, and leave room for other people? Are those things mutually exclusive?
In this discussion, all littles, middles & bigs are welcome. Little space has such a stigma and bad rap, I’d like to discuss why and how we can help destigmatize age regression in the community.

Kink conferences can be challenging for folks recovering from eating disorders. We’re off of our routines and around foods we have less control over (which can be overwhelming!) These factors can be triggering and lead to relapse. With this event I hope other kinky folks in recovery can come together, discuss these issues, and offer support/solutions so that we can enjoy the conference while being mindful of our recovery.
