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.

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.

Controlling someone's breathing is an amazing power exchange. This class & demo will cover what breath play is, SAFELY administering breath play, and anatomy (no 2 people are the same nor will they react the same). Demo will cover basic breath play techniques.

Power dynamics can creep up on you. First you start as play partners, then things start leaking out of the bedroom and suddenly you have a full-blown dynamic. A lot of us borrow themes, protocols and norms from our fantasies, friends, mentors and even erotica, trying things on to decide what might work for us. In this class, we will provide tools to look inward to find your own architype, define your power exchange needs and collaborate with your partner to build a dynamic that both excites and thrives.

In this class, we will:
• Learn to build a dynamic "your way" that fits your unique needs
• How to decide what to emphasize in your dynamic and how much authority transfer you want
• Explore a framework for building protocols and rituals that fulfill both partners' needs
