AORTA films presents Who's the Bigger Brat? Brat4Brat Dynamics and Play
with Badly Licked Bear

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

For some of us, 30-100% of dominance is bratting from the top. This class will show you how it's done.

For some of us, 30-100% of domming is bratting from the top. Just because you're a brat doesn't automatically make you a bottom or a submissive, and being the bigger brat can be so much fun. It's anopportunity for so many different kinds of play: the cruelest scenarios imaginable, lighthearted sensory romps, and escalating annoyances designed to fate a bratty bottom and give them the attention they crave. Ever wanted to channel your inner Bugs Bunny and be the cartoon antagonist of your lover's worst nightmares and wildest dreams? 

This workshop will go over the critical areas of negotiation and scene/relationship dynamics for life and play where there's more than one brat in the equation, or for when the brat is the dominant. Demos showing brat4brat dynamics and play, with a focus on bratting from the top, will serve as points of inspiration, reference, and...instigation.... This one is for every brat who plays with other brats, brat-tops, brat-dommes, brat-subs, and any kind of brat vs. brat or group brat situation.

Open to all 18+
