TANTRIC FRAMEWORK FOR BDSM The way Laurie and I teach BDSM, we frame different types of BDSM play within how the energies are moving in different Chakras: Containment and somatic play, like rope bondage, sensation play, pain play, confinement play activate our energies in the 1st Chakra. All sexual play hits our 2nd Chakra — including arousal, forced orgasm, orgasm control, peaking. All esteem and psychological play, such as Humiliation Play, Exclusion Play, Degradation Play hits our esteem center in the 3rd Chakra. Bringing Devotion in the Dom/sub dynamic activates the energies in the 4th Chakra.  And so on. We are not experts of classical tantra.  We don’t offer any traditional tantric rituals and practices in our class.  But our framework for BDSM energetics very much refers to our energetic body that the tantric framework employs.
