##What is edge play?

Edge play - for the purposes of this discussion group - refers to kink that involves pushing the limits of what is typically considered safe or comfortable in BDSM dynamics, play or scenes. It can involve physical, emotional, or psychological risk, and often explores activities or scenarios that challenge personal boundaries, consensual limits, and may introduce an element of danger or intense sensations.

Although rope, needles and heavy impact are definitely types of physical edge play and may be a part of discussions, this group will focus more on unusual types of play that are less commonly seen or educated about as well as the psychological impacts of edge play.

This group is meant to be a supportive space for those who explore the intense emotionaland physical aspects of BDSM edge play.

Edge play isn’t about crossing boundaries — it’s about embracing the vulnerability and raw intensity that come with pushing both physical and emotional limits. Whether you’re into breath play, blood play, degradation, fear play, or other extreme forms of kink, this group is here to help you navigate the thrilling, sometimes dangerous, world of edge play with risk awareness, trust, and deep emotional connection.

Here, we create space to discuss:

• The psychological and emotional impact of extreme play

• Physical risk management / awareness — from sensation play to breath control and everything in between

• Safety protocols for activities like knife play,fire play, and blood play

• Building trust and communication in high-risk scenes

• How to process the emotional aftermath of intense play and provide aftercare

• The importance of understanding and respecting physical boundaries, both yours and your partner’s

• Personal stories of pushing limits, learning from mistakes, and growing through experiences

• Managing fear—both physical and psychological—during extreme play

We believe that edge play can be a deeply transformative experience—it challenges us physically, mentally, and emotionally. In this group, we support each other in navigating the highs and lows, from the adrenaline rush of extreme scenes to the introspective moments that follow. Whether you're looking for advice on reducing risks or emotional debriefing after a scene, we’re here to offer personal experiences, share knowledge, and provide a space for vulnerable, honest conversation.

**This is a peer led support and discussion group, and does not provide any professional mental healthcare or counseling.

This munch will be hosted in one of the outdoor seating areas of Armistice Coffee (Roosevelt) starting at 6:00pm and run approx 1.5 hours. Note that although we will be seated apart from others, it is not a fully private space and actions and conversations should be appropriate. If you have any questions about this please let me know!

Experienced as well as newer folks interested in edge play are all welcomed but you should have a basic understanding of BDSM; please note that the conversation often flows according to the experience level and interests of attendees :)

Expect conversation topics that may be unsettling for some and keep space for yourself to leave if needed.
