We then discuss practical applications of this model: its impact on relationship compatibility and longevity, its application to various scenarios.

Food and sex touch us at the core. How and when we are fed or feed others
goes to the center of our social and animal natures. This class looks at
the ways to explore the intimacies inherent in playing with food. Often
presented as a gauzy sensual indulgence, food can also be a powerful part of
a D/s relationship, incorporating control, interrogation, conditioning as
well as the entire range of physical pleasures of wet and messy play. The
discussion will be wide-ranging and will draw on the presenter's experiences
in the gainer/encourager community. |

Many and varied are the guides and resources for those who are new to the submissive lifestyle, but those who are new to the Dominant side appear to have limited avenues to explore. Are the expectations for the Dominant in relationships higher? Should they be? What types of skills are essential? Are they physical skills, like flogging, using the single tail whip, or rope bondage? Is there something deeper, more complicated than that? Sir Guy will discuss the physical, spiritual and psychological dimensions of Dominance as well as sharing his personal journey, mistakes and all. |

Mean words, public exposure, telling secrets, cutting someone down to size,
getting treated like the pig you are: there's BDSM you can do with someone's
body, and BDSM you can do with their mind. Of the two, the mind is
definitely the more difficult one to work with. This class explores styles
of play that revolve around the psychological and social status of the
participants. Learn how to tell the difference between humiliation and
degradation, to know how to negotiate psychological play and where the
thrills and dangers lurk in making someone feel really bad on the inside.
We'll be using examples from personal experience and popular culture. |

The basic knots you need for Japanese or any style of rope bondage are very limited and can all be found in the basic bow knot used to tie your sneaker. However, every once in a while you may want to liven up your style with something a little different. Fancy knots can be fun to add in to your bondage and don’t have to be hard to learn or as complex as you think. Give your ties that unusual and distinctive element you’ve been looking for with some useful and decorate knots. These can be perverted to interesting uses and incorporated into any bondage situation you care to imagine. Class materials: Bring rope, 4mm or 6mm, about 25 feet. |

Fire has long been a fickle servant of man. The hypnotic flicker of flames
fascinates yet scares us, as it can easily turn against us. Together these
make fireplay so intriguing and compelling on an emotional level. Spectacular
from a visual aspect, the warmth generated by fire is not surprising; and
done correctly, it provides the warmth without burning. Yet it is the
danger, akin to a taboo, that also provides some of the thrill in this play.
Topics covered include: Safety, Tools for simple play, Warm ups, Simple
patterns, and Fire wands. |

A basic to intermediate way to expand and challenge your rope work. Partials are a great way for newer players to gain better understandings of biomechanics and how rigging works off of the floor before requiring that it support the weight of an entire person, and can be more strenuous than full suspensions without as many dangers. This hands-on class will explore the basic concepts and functions of one and two column ties that allow you to restrain your partner's body to various objects and structures using their ergonomics and body mass against them safely. Class materials: minimum 10 ropes, 30 foot length each (More rope is always good). Preferred Diameter 6mm. |

Do you identify as a sadist or as a masochist? What are the historical
backgrounds of these terms and how do those histories inflect their meanings
in contemporary BDSM? This class will introduce and highlight key details in
the biographies of the Marquis de Sade (1740-1814) and Leopold von
Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895). The class will also trace the coinage and
multi-lingual etymology of the terms "sadist" and "masochist" from
19th-century sexology through contemporary sex-positive culture, with an
emphasis on the often neglected regional, political, and class contexts.
This class is based in part on the presenter's original research. |

Sufism is the spiritual dimension of Islam. The Sufi path is a rich
tradition in which practitioners attempt to draw nearer to the divine in our
lives. The Sufi practice of dhikr (remembrance) is an act of spiritual
healing that aims at self-discipline, concentration, and a fuller mental and
physical awareness of the divine presence. Dhikr, as well as other Sufi
practices, can allow the body to withstand great physical and mental
challenges, by using breath, word, and spiritual focus to process pain. This
class will introduce some Sufi-inspired exercises and demonstrate how they
can be used to process pain in a scene. |

This class is for intermediate rope bondage players and up, as it is meant to build on skills already acquired. This class will also cover suspension safety concerns, rope types, and other equipment issues specific to suspension. |
