Race Play is often considered to be one of the most controversial and taboo kinks. It is banned from many teaching organizations, events and dungeons, and even discussion groups. Despite the controversy around it, there is still joy, catharsis, power, play, healing, and more to be cultivated in this kink - just like any other. In this class, we will look at different types of race play (including both Bright and Dark Race Play), discuss why it is deemed so controversial, explore strategies to talk raceplay with play partners, develop tools to negotiate and navigate race play scenes, and discuss how race affects us all and how the controversy of race play is affected by this.
