Sensory-Centered Intimacy 102 (July 26):
Hands-On Lab: Craft Your Personal Sensory Play Sheet
Ready to move from “Wow, that makes sense” to “Holy cow, that feels amazing”? Step into Cate Osborn’s interactive lab where you’ll build your own custom Sensory Play Sheet with stats like satin vs. burlap, bass drops vs. pin-drop silence, and ice cubes vs. weighted blankets.
After a quick body-scan warm-up, you’ll rotate through five fully stocked stations-Texture, Sound, Temperature/Pressure, Scent/Taste, and Movement, sampling dungeon-tested toys and everyday hacks Cate’s picked up while headlining kink conferences worldwide. Expect micro-demos, live negotiation drills, and laugh-out-loud nonsense courtesy of Cate.
By session’s end you’ll walk out with:
· A completed, fillable Sensory Play Sheet to share with partners.
· A mini Scene Recipe Bank tailored to neurodivergent nervous systems.
· Lifelong skills for real-time consent checks, stimuli scaling, and graceful exit ramps.
Solo attendees are welcome (observation-only options available); partners and polycules encouraged. Completion of 101 is strongly recommended so everyone speaks the same sensory language.
Cate’s hands-on intensives have been praised by Understood.org listeners and sold out at events from Dragon Con to Frolicon and KinkyCollege—they will fill quickly.
