Chemical play isn’t inherently sexy, sadistic, or playful—it’s an instrument that can be applied to fit almost any dynamic. A drop of the right product can be nurturing or cruel, a reward or a punishment. Context is everything, and chemical play thrives on that versatility.

Unlike impact play, where marks and sounds offer tangible proof of intensity, chemical play is often subtle, even invisible. The drama is internal. Let’s relish the theatricality of the unseen, where reactions might look quiet from the outside but feel excruciating to the person experiencing them.

A little bit slapstick, a little bit psychological warfare, and a whole lot of experimentation. Grab your lab coats and a bag of Q-tips—things are about to get spicy. For science!

Some call it pain, others intense sensation, either way it is something that can be integral to a scene.  Physiology as well as practical information for using pain in a scene to bring about the desired results,  Based on Hardy’s book of the same name.  A special demonstration will be included and participation will be encouraged.

Have you ever looked at a rubber band and thought, This could be a surprisingly effective tool if paired with needle play? Or walked through the sports store and wondered, This slingshot, can I use it to launch things at my play partner?   If so, you’re in the right place!

In this class, we’re unlocking the full potential of your toy bag by thinking outside the (toy) box. We’ll explore unexpected ways to use kink toys you may already have, discover new and exciting combinations, and embrace the sheer joy of playful innovation. Whether it’s repurposing, reimagining, or just getting delightfully weird with what you already have, we’re here to prove that creativity is the best toy of all.

This class will quickly dive into foundational rope bondage techniques. Then those techniques, along with demonstrations and class participation, will show how you can manipulate a partner's body, use each other's energy, and use a rope or two to journey together. That journey will depend on the person(s) tying and being tied, but this class will show you techniques and approaches to do so.

Ah, the fun bits! They are so packed with nerve endings, making them worthy of all the attention we can give them. Do you wonder how far you can really go, or are you just depraved and curious? This class will take you on a tour of numerous diabolical things you can do to both male and female parts. We’ll cover a variety of activities with varying risks. Many are lower risk and can be learned quickly. Others entail HIGH risk, are very edgy, and while consensual, are not particularly “safe” or “sane”. Hey, one out of three ain’t bad!

We will cover many evil ideas for the aspiring, intermediate and extreme players among you. Pleasure and pain can both qualify as torture when done properly, especially when taken to suitable excess. We’ll go through numerous classes of play and toys here, including rope, clamps, impact toys, electrical toys, whips, canes, clamps, weights and stretching, crushers, kicking, irritants, insertables, needles, chastity toys, and more! Numerous specialty toys will be available for inspection.

There are many different styles of rough body play, largely dependent upon the original martial arts style of the person doing it. Recent years have seen MMA, Krav Maga, and Jujitsu enter the realm of kink. Here I will teach you how to use your fists, elbows, knees, and feet/shins to cause intimate and intense pain, and leave the most lovely bruises.

There's a whole lot more to this kink than most people think. How it works and what it does though is dependent upon how it’s used, one's headspace and relationship dynamics. On one end of the spectrum, it can help increase sexual desire, improve performance, intensify a man’s pleasure and orgasms, while providing a constant undercurrent of sexual stimulation.  What’s not to like about that?

But it can also be practiced with a partner as part of a relationship control dynamic where it can be used as a powerful tool to modify emotions and behavior, including feelings of submission. We will examine the changes in body chemistry it induces to amplify one’s energy and generate intense feelings of pleasure, happiness, self-confidence and emotional closeness. Done properly, it can induce a state of ongoing euphoria.

We will explore the various headspaces and motivations for both partners, how to best use it to build imbalanced power dynamic relationships, and to maximize what each partner gets out of it. We will also cover the many types of chastity devices out there and how to find one that works for you. Numerous chastity devices will be available for you to check out.

Learn how to find your bliss with chastity, while avoiding the dangers of a crash and burn that can happen when it’s done wrong.

Rope is more than just knots—it’s a conversation. This class begins with interactive rope-handling drills designed to refine your movement, control, and connection. Through playful exercises with a partner, you’ll explore how variations in tension, speed, and intent shape the experience of tying.

Once we’ve warmed up, we’ll apply these concepts to a single rope tie, often called ichinawa (“one rope”) in Japanese. This simple yet powerful approach highlights how small choices in application can completely transform the energy and emotion of a scene. Whether you want to create comfort, control, anticipation, or challenge, this class will help you refine your skills and bring more intention into your rope practice.
