GWNN Bash 2025

You didn’t want to talk about it during negotiations, and something got fucked up. It’s too late to go back but how do we go forward?  Redemption in the community begins with communications: Common Terms and realistic expectations, and personal stories about owning our shit.  This class will be welcoming the personal stories.  The doors will be closed after it begins, And if you leave you won’t be back in.   Come with your “goo” - and let’s get passed it together.  The class will modify to meet the level of the participants.

Edge play is where risk, trust, and thrill collide. From knife play and breath play to humiliation and fear play, edge play pushes boundaries—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. But what makes an experience “edgy” is deeply personal.

We’ll dive into the nuances of edge play, including:
- Why people are drawn to it and the connection it creates.
- How to negotiate high-risk scenes with clear boundaries and consent.
- Mitigating risks, recognizing limits, and handling intense emotions before and after play.
- Navigating stigma, community, and mentorship in exploring edge play safely.

Come ready to discuss, share, and learn. Whether you’re curious or experienced, this is a judgment-free space to explore what "edge" means to you.

Love sharps but find yourself resistant to pretty patterns and meditative scenes? Wanna use stabby things to express your cute aggression? Ready to learn and share devious new uses for the pokey things already in your toy bag? Then this class is for you! Join us as we learn to craft scenes that feature sharps as tools of bondage, deprivation, body modification, fear, absurdity, and pain. We’ll walk through techniques, implements, and placements that safely prioritize carnal and creative suffering. Sharps experience not required but useful; wicked inventiveness useful but not required.

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.
