Rape Play: From “curious about” to “in to” in one class

Through force or coercion and independent of gender, rape play can be terrifying and erotic for both the top and bottom. Taking a “how-to” approach this class provides a number of actionable points for students to begin using as they explore rape play. Safety will be addressed with an emphasis placed on recognizing risks and mitigating them to give students a foundation to build upon.

Caning 201

Canes are often seen as a one trick implement, but in reality, their use can be quite varied. We’ll talk about using canes in layered play and how to change up where the cane strikes to include less common areas like the face, feet, hands, stomach, and basically anything but the butt. Tending towards strong sensations and pain, this class is for those who want to increase the intensity of their play and see new uses for their canes. Prior to class students should feel comfortable using any style of cane on a static bottom.

Blood and Air: Breath Play Deconstructed

Little in kink is as divisive as breath play. By separating the various topics under the “breath play” umbrella and applying research and knowledge from a number of sources actual risks and common misconceptions will be discussed. The mechanics of blood restriction to the brain will be explored, as will the broader implications of effecting gas exchange within the body through re-breathers, smothering, hyperventilation, etc. Far from discouraging breath play this class seeks to encourage risk aware participation and promote safer practices.

Anatomy for Rope

Based on common injuries and problems, this course will take a practical look at anatomy as it relates to rope. Nerve injuries will be the major focus of this class, and students will see why those should of primary concern. Rope will never be without risk, but following this course, riggers and bottoms will understand better why some problems occur and how to mitigate them.  No previous medical or rope experience is needed, but having some suspension experience will increase the benefits of this class for students.

Introduction to Blood Play

Blood can evoke powerful responses: fear, lust, panic, revulsion. Blood can be a sign a scene went terribly wrong or incredibly right. Whether the goal of a scene is to draw blood, or if blood is a possible yet unintended result, students will leave class feeling more confident around blood. Participants will know that their precautions and concerns are based in science, not misinformation. The class will touch on needle play and cutting. A safe and efficient means of blood collection for immediate use will be taught. If you are curious about, or already in to, blood play (or activities involving blood), or serve in a safety capacity this class may be beneficial.
