It’s a Trap! Playful scenes & non-bondage predicaments
This isn’t always serious work we do! Predicaments are all about getting between the proverbial “rock and hard place” (and laughing as your partner is flummoxed by their situation); playful BDSM is about giggling together in scene, with both partners participating creating the “torment.” This class will show you how to bring a different level of engagement to your BDSM play and go beyond giving and receiving sensations – create story lines and connect mentally with your partner. The instructors will address both the top and bottom’s perspective, including communicating within the mood of your scene and discussion of bratting. Leave your rope bag at home – this is NOT a bondage class! In addition to demonstrating many specific predicaments and games, they'll discuss this type of play in a broad sense to guide you in developing your own unique scenes. (This class is mostly demo and lecture, with some discussion.)
This sucks, why am I turned on?! Suffering Fetish
Have you ever felt like “masochist” as a label just didn’t quite resonate with you, despite playing with pain? Or you’ve been aroused by doing that one thing you hate for a partner and just couldn’t find the words for why. Then maybe your fetish is for suffering. Suffering can include more than just pain play, maybe you really hate being forced to stand still, or use self-degrading language, or folding laundry. In this class, Carter discusses various types of suffering, negotiation, aftercare, and exploring your boundaries with this type of play. Let’s talk about navigating through what can be painful, nasty, bitter, miserable, and ultimately, incredibly hot.
