Interrogation play can be intense, cathartic, erotic—and historically fraught. Rooted in militarized and carceral systems, it’s often portrayed in ways that glorify domination without consent, glorify state violence, or erase the trauma realities of marginalized people. So how do we engage with this psychological style of play in a way that feels aligned with our values, healing for our bodies, and empowering for our identities?This class is a trauma-informed, queer- and BIPOC-centered introduction to Interrogation Play that invites participants to approach reclaiming this kink with care, intention, and joy. We’ll explore its problematic history and unpack how factors like power, race, gender, disability, and class affect the ways we experience “questioning” in real life—and how to reimagine it in scene space.Rather than replicate harm, we’ll learn how to negotiate and redefine the edges of interrogation scenes so they can become tools of release, resistance or even reparation.
