In this second part of my conversation with professional Switch Serafina, we dive deep into the world of BDSM, breaking down key concepts such as what a “scene” is, the realities of sex work, and common misconceptions around it. We discuss the importance of safety in intimacy, trauma-informed care, and setting healthy boundaries within these spaces.

You’ll also hear about the steps of creating a scene, using tools like the stoplight system, and how to negotiate and communicate effectively in intimacy/ scenes/ play. We explore the essential practices of aftercare and discuss the process of modeling a scene to ensure mutual respect, safety, and pleasure. This episode is a thoughtful and educational look into creating empowered, consensual experiences and fostering healthy relationships in the everyday life and in the alt/ kink/ BDSM community.
