with Midori

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Get to the core of what actually turns you on and learn to read the hidden invitations inside your partner’s requests. Midori’s Desire Archetypes and Desires Chart give you the tools to craft sharper, hotter, and far more satisfying scenes.

Have you found yourself pausing when someone asks “what are you really into?” or “What type of D/s do you enjoy?”

Having a hard time visualizing what you might enjoy in that scene your partner wants? Perhaps you’ve found yourself not quite loving the play you’ve enjoyed in the past but aren’t sure what to ask for in negotiations?
Contrary to popular assumptions, knowing what we really want in play can be challenging. It’s also quite normal to not know everything about your desires. Auntie Midori is here to help.

This is an exciting new virtual class from the founder of ForteFemme Women’s Dominance Intensive & The Art of Feminine Dominance. Part of a series exploring the fundamentals of feminine dominance* Midori will guide you through a unique process to help you identify your desire archetype and learn how to embody and express it through play.

We will cover…

• How to identify your core desires that underlie your current play
• Begin to identify what your partner is really asking for in a scene
• Identify the types of scenes that you won’t enjoy before you get into them
• Learn Midori’s infamous Desires Chart and how to use it to break out of the box for better scene satisfaction
• Consider scenes that you might not have thought of that just might delight you
• Get practical tips for playing with your newfound clarity and desires.

No experience necessary. 

*Important Note: “Feminine dominance” is about a state of mind and how it can be explored through play, not necessarily gender experience. This class is open to all genders, orientations, and anyone with curiosity about topping (whether a little or a lot).

Open to all 18+
