GWNN Bash 2025

This educational lecture walks through time and explored how using implements to hit someone for pleasure has been a secret but real part of much of human history.

The number of play options and toys for electricity in kink is just HUGE, and it can be so incredibly fun for everyone involved. Yet, many people lack a proper grounding  in the topic and find it confusing or intimidating.  This class will dispel those problems and give you a good base of understanding for electrical play, safety, and using the human body in circuits.  

We will go into detail on three distinct play types: Tens Units, Violet Wands and Zappers, as well as how to use them. Whether you’re looking for ways to spice up sensation play, erotic stimulation including orgasm overload, or to create fear, pain and all the wonderful things sadists and masochists so enjoy.

Oh, and the TOYS! There is an endless collection of toys which can be used in electrical play. We’ll explore many including how to use each, and there will be numerous examples of toys and equipment available for hands on examination. We will also demonstrate various techniques with a willing volunteer.

Ball gags are great, but why stop there? The world of unconventional gags allows us to muffle, manipulate, and mess with mouths in unique, often improvised ways. In this class, we’ll explore how to deepen sensations of control, endurance, objectification, and whimsy—all while keeping safety a top priority. From everyday objects to DIY designs, we’ll brainstorm, build, and test unconventional gag ideas, discussing their pleasures and pitfalls along the way. You’ll leave class with a take-home gag of your own and plenty to chew on—perhaps literally.

Think dominance means total control and submission means passive obedience? Not necessarily.

Power exchange isn’t one-size-fits-all. What if the submissive managed the finances, or the Dominant focused on emotional support? In this class, we’ll challenge traditional D/s roles, explore unexpected ways to structure dynamics and perspectives, and help you design a relationship that fits you.

Let’s break the mold and discover new ways to lead, serve, and surrender—on your own terms.

Dark Ageplay is a nuanced and often misunderstood aspect of the BDSM and roleplay community. This class explores the fundamentals of ageplay, with a specific focus on its darker themes, including power exchange, forced regression, humiliation, fear play, and taboo scenarios. We will discuss the psychological, emotional, and ethical considerations involved in engaging with this taboo play.

(Especially if that neurodivergent is you)

We all need some care and consideration sometimes and for neurodivergents navigating the kink scene there can be extra challenges to overcome. Fueled by my own late diagnosis (and the subsequent training of my neurotypical partner and myself) we'll share and discuss strategies (and scientific research) that may be helpful to your own neurodivergent.

Life seems to be smooth sailing. Our days are full, our life is rich and our play runneth over. If it were not for those few challenges, at work, at home, at the group meeting, we would be perfectly happy. And we just can’t figure out why people don’t return our calls or perfectly reasonable e-mails. What is it with the guy at the meeting that just can’t “let it go”? And why is it that when we get concerned about something, people think we are angry? Let’s spend a little time and talk about what is often our biggest roadblock in the Community-US. How we are handling important parts of our life with a lot more opportunity than expertise.   Let’s sail into a discussion about opportunity in communication and not forget to toss in a lifeline or two about negotiations,  credibility and  transformative leadership, and see if we can get back to some smooth sailing once again.

Ever wanted to be an ash tray? Cigars invoke the mental image of plush leather chairs, dim lighting, a freshly made drink and a smoky room. But it doesn't have to be like that. We can make it kinky, fun, and an intimately connective ritual. This class will cover the basics of cigars, preparation, lighting, cutting and some of the ways to play before and after the cigar is lit.

Join SFD and SFM as they teach you everything you need to know to get started and maybe taste some ashes if you're curious.

Timeless for a reason, canes have a long history in kink. From corporeal punishment to soothing rhythms these humble implements have range.  Nerd out with some torture history and bring it to the present with a demonstration of a range of modern materials

In my journey I have made a lot of mistakes. I mean a LOT of mistakes. One of the things that elevates homosapiens above the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to learn from the trials and errors of others through verbal and written communication across continents, generations, and vast oceans of time. We can learn from the failures and mistakes of people we've never even met who lived thousands of years ago or thousands of miles away. Well, you can learn from my fuckups right here and now. In this class I will go over 10 of my biggest mistakes as a Daddy, Dominant, and Master and how you can avoid them.
