[Consent Academy] Consent & Power Differentials: A Panel Discussion
How do you endeavor toward creating Power Equity in your sexual and kinky relationships?
Power dynamics permeate every part of our lives and interactions. Creating genuine consent culture would be easier if everything was equal; but in our complex world, things are rarely if ever equal. This is true in life, in sex, and in kink. Things become even more complex when adding consensual power exchange dynamics in a society with intrinsic power imbalances.
Join our expert panelists in unpacking these complexities and questions:
- What are the unspoken power differentials that degrade a person’s capacity to give and receive consent?
- How can power be used, both intentionally and unintentionally, to remove or diminish agency?
- How can you uphold consent with clear communication, while actively engaging differences in power?
- What are the associated risks and erotic benefits?
- How have lived experiences helped the panelists practice better skills?
- How might a kink perspective support global change, social and restorative justice?
This will be a moderated panel discussion with time for audience questions.
