GWNN Bash 2025

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.
