What Now? Responding to Consent Injuries

ONLINE, Aug 16, 2026, 2:00 pm Eastern


We talk a lot about what consent is, and how to reach it, but consent injuries happen all the time. What happens after things go wrong, and a consent incident shakes up a person a couple, or a community?


This class will briefly touch on consent, then go beyond to examine how to best reach when a consent incident touches us. Let's consider how we handle it as a stranger, a friend, or an event host. We'll look at some recommending responses including caring for the harmed, incident reporting, and consequences.

Your Kink Is Not My Kink - But Is Your Kink OK?

ONLINE, October 17, 2026, 2:00 pm Eastern


Being exposed to certain kinks - kinks we judge harshly or don't understand - can provoke feelings of disgust, anxiety, even jealousy, This class reviews different types of dynamics and play (including more extreme "edge play") that might provoke negative responses to those exposed to them. Sir Panda discusses how to use discretion without being discriminatory, learning how to withdraw and self-soothe, and recognizing those occasions when you might need to report.


This class dives into the four principles of YKINMK , the different emotional reactions when a particular kink triggers us, how to avoid kink shaming and embrace sex positivity - and finally reaching "But Your Kink Is OK."
