That's not right!: Nontraditional Power Exchange

We all have preconceived notions about how power exchange relationships should look. That’s a problem. Not everyone can or even wants to fit those narrow definitions. With that in mind, let’s talk about power exchange dynamics that don’t fit preconceptions, how to avoid the kinky “Keeping up with the Joneses” trap in our relationships, and the importance of making room for those who don’t fit the mold (and how that has happened many times in our history).

Ivarr and Jamie talk frankly about their “equal partnership of unequals,” how and why it works for them, and finding joy in forging their path. We’ll discuss performative power exchange, individual and community biases, and how our community treats others in power dynamics we don’t recognize or understand. And if we change a few minds and trash a few stereotypes during the process, all the better.
