Part 1: Make It Hurt So Good: Safety & Health Considerations in BDSM & Kink
2:00-3:00 PM MST
Are your clients bringing BDSM and kink into the conversation — and you're not sure how to respond? This course gives you the tools to change that. Designed for clinical and medical health providers, this training builds the foundational knowledge and practical skills you need to address BDSM and kink-related topics with confidence, competence, and compassion. You'll explore common practices, real physical health risks, and evidence-based harm-reduction strategies — all grounded in a culturally sensitive, client-centered framework. Walk away ready to identify potential injuries, apply harm-reduction principles in your practice, and respond to warning signs with the clinical confidence your clients deserve. Don't let discomfort or unfamiliarity stand between your clients and the quality care they need.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify potential physical health risks associated with some common BDSM/kink practices

2. Apply a physical harm-reduction framework to BDSM/kink activities by evaluating motivation, potential risks, and strategies to reduce injury without dismissing participant goals.

3. Recognize warning signs of unsafe practices or injury that may arise from BDSM/kink activities and understand appropriate healthcare responses.

Part II: Getting To The Bottom Of It: Safety & Health Considerations In Anal Play
3:00-4:00 PM MST
Your clients are having anal sex — are you prepared to talk about it? This course gives you the knowledge and confidence to meet them where they are. Designed for clinical and medical health providers, this training breaks down the anatomy, physiology, and safety considerations of anal sexuality in a clear, practical, and affirming way. You'll explore the structures of the anal canal, rectum, pelvic floor, and surrounding neurovascular systems — and learn exactly how they relate to sexual function, comfort, and safety. Whether your clients are curious, experiencing discomfort, or navigating injury, you'll walk away equipped to engage with confidence, compassion, and clinical competence. Stop leaving this conversation at the door — your clients deserve a provider who won't.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the relevant anatomy and physiology of the anal canal, rectum, sphincters, pelvic floor, and surrounding neurovascular structures as they relate to anal play.

2. Recognize potential medical risks and injuries associated with anal play

3. Discuss the role of the pelvic floor muscles and anal sphincters in receptive anal activity and how pelvic floor dysfunction (hypertonicity, dyssynergia, weakness) may influence safety and comfort
