PRESENTERS & CLASSES
A Power Exchange relationship is a consensual relational dynamic in which a partner either gives up or gains control of authority within those relationship.
Master/slave? Dom/sub? Owner/property? Gorean or Taken in Hand? Or something you have defined yourself? Your choice of Power Exchange is valid.
Polyamory is the practice of – or desire for – intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the consent of all partners involved. It has been described as “consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy” (credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory)
