Queen Takes Knight- Ms Brenda and slave arcane

The pornography industry commonly depicts submissives as lacking power, but frequently in our communities we find a strong dominant personality paired with an equally strong submissive one.  Join us as we explore one way of viewing such relationships and how they might function.  We will be referring to the codes which knights were expected to follow, and discussing how to use these values to mold a modern day power exchange relationship.   While the title may suggest strict gender roles, the concepts we explore in this presentation are not gender or role specific.  Our goal is to explain an alternative way of framing a Master slave relationship which celebrates and empowers both roles.
