Total Power Exchange can involve intimacy, devotion, and surrender. It also involves calendars, budgets, household decisions, health emergencies, disagreements, paperwork, boundaries, and figuring out what happens when life throws chaos your way. This class will break down some practical structures that help TPE relationships function over time. We will discuss division of responsibility, decision-making authority, financial oversight, privacy, limits, accountability, and the legal realities of authority-based relationships. You will also be introduced to practical safeguards, including emergency planning, independent support systems, powers of attorney, medical decision-making documents, and other legal tools that may matter when a dynamic becomes deeply intertwined with ordinary life. For anyone building, considering, or already living within a long-term TPE dynamic, this class offers a grounded look at the responsibilities that make surrender safer and authority worth trusting. PRESENTER: Aidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist, educator, researcher, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware, grounded in inclusive practices, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience, creating spaces where community voices are centered, respected, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research, he has developed and led community education programs on kink, consent, trauma awareness, and ethical non-monogamy. At the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. TICKETING: $30 suggested.
