2008 Presentations:
Erotic Asphyxiation - The very edge of edgeplay - With Sally
Of all the things we do in BDSM, nothing else is designed to literally "play" with someone's life as are asphyxiation games. Flogging, paddling, caning, cropping, torture, needles, knives, fire... none of these things are specifically practiced with the express knowledge that someone's life is literally on the line. However, breathplay, suffocation, strangulation, choking, throttling, hanging - call it what you will - nothing else we do is as scary, life-threatening, or as downright erotic as full-on, hardcore asphyxiation.

Breathplay is about as sexy, thrilling, and dangerous as BDSM can get! It's the height of vulnerability and the very pinnacle of power. In this presentation, Nick and Sally will discuss the psychology of breathplay, the hands-on techniques and physiology of asphyxiation, and the inherent risks we face if we choose to participate in this most dangerous of games.

Participants will learn a myriad of specific techniques including: choking; suffocating; strangling; hanging; gagging; bagging; kinging; queening; air sucking; sheeting; taping; re-breathing and much more. This educational discussion will then be followed by a dramatic breathplay scenario in which these techniques will be put into context and incorporated into a structured asphyxiation "scene".

FLOGGING 101
For those of you new to the scene and wondering where to begin, the ability to give or receive a good flogging is one of the foundations of SM play, and an excellent place to start one's journey into SM playtime. However, many newcomers often assume that flogging requires little or no knowledge or technique, but nothing could be further from the truth! Not only does the type of flogger you choose make a huge difference to the quality of your scene, but so does the specific flogger technique or "throw" you use, the body part you choose to hit, and the physical and emotional intensity with which you engage your partner. In short, flogging can be a very fulfilling form of play if you take the time to learn a few basic facts about floggers and flogging technique.

In this class you will learn about the different materials used for making floggers, and how flogger construction affects the way a flogger feels in the hands and on the body. This class will also demonstrate at least 10 different strokes, including: drop flogging; paintbrush stroke; forehand and backhand stroke; figure 8; propeller stroke; vertical stroke; bow and arrow stroke; the baseball bat stroke; spanking stroke, and much more. In addition, we will discuss the importance of proper warm-ups, and how they can be used to increase the intensity of a scene while minimizing the chance of a scene "busting". After attending this class, the participant will walk away with some solid basic skills which they can put into practice right away.
