PK Presents: Getting Kinky With Chronic Pain and Disability Intensive

PK Presents: Getting Kinky With Chronic Pain and Disability Intensive with Ignixia

Living with chronic pain and disabilities can be anything from a mild nuisance one must deal with every day up to something that is downright crippling. Add to that the idea of physical activity involved in sex and/or kink activity and you end up with one daunting task; so how do we feel sexy and desired during this time? Not only will we cover how to keep that spark, we'll also cover ways to express ourselves and communicate in regards to our needs, wants, and desires, as well as the requests for adjustments related to our chronic pain and dis/ability status.

Speaking of adjustments and making accommodations, how do we do that in public play spaces and conventions without drawing unwanted attention or feeling like we're asking too much of our hosts? We'll discuss common problems in play spaces, ways we can talk to our local space owners about creating accommodations, and subtle ways we can make play possible when we're in temporary spaces.

Lastly, we'll have time to share stories about our own successes and learning opportunities regarding any number of other chronic pain and disability related problems. As someone living with Fibromyalgia, I'll cover things from what it is like to live with chronic pain to what it is like to live with someone who has it; I'll also talk about what it's like personally to be the dominant partner of someone with their own chronic pain and disability issues. There will also be information given out that can help turn a disability into something that makes a relationship stronger from both sides of the slash.
