Darren Campbell's Workshops

Collaborative Consent: Pursuing Pleasure While Reducing Risk - Darren Campbell

Good sex and play result from connection and communication. But how do we share our desires and create consent with our partners while keeping it sexy? How do we push past the awkward and have fun while negotiating? In this class, Darren will guide students through a collaborative approach to consent that emphasizes mutual connection and responsibility for consent in a scene. Particular emphasis is given to the possibilities inherent in unencumbered and risk-aware consent and reducing and understanding risk. The class also includes an in-depth discussion of non-transactional models of consent and negotiation, discussing the benefits on both an individual level and for a wider community interested in reducing harm.

Getting a Little Dirty: Sex & Power in Age-Based Roleplay - Darren Campbel

We will talk about using Ageplay as a way to play with sex and power during this class. Whether you're a Dominant Daddy, a Submissive Auntie, a Switchy Schoolgirl or any other role, we'll discuss how we can explore power while also exploring Ageplay. We'll also discuss different ways of incorporating other BDSM play into our ageplay, including fetishes and roleplay such as consensual non-consent and “dark” ageplay.

Introduction to Ageplay - Darren Campbell

What is Ageplay? What are some of the typical roles, and how do we explore, either on our own or with a partner? These are the types of questions we'll explore during this 101 class, with lots of time provided to answer questions and address individual questions.

Practical Chastity for People with Penises - Darren Campbell

“Lock me up and throw away the key!” So many of us fantasize about chastity, whether as an occasional spice or the main part of our relationships. In this class, we’ll talk about the gear options, the mental options, and chastity safety with people with penises. We’ll spend some time dispelling some myths and sharing how hot and fun this play can be.
