Masochist 101

What others call too much is exactly enough.

This course examines masochism from the inside: what the experience actually is, how to know whether it fits you, and how to build the skills and relationships that allow it to flourish. Six lessons move from orientation through negotiation, practice, and long-term growth, drawing on the real vocabulary and hard-won self-knowledge of people who live this way.
