GWNN Bash 2025

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.

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.

Many years ago in my vanilla life, I trained dogs and taught other people how to train dogs! I figured there had to be a way to combine my knowledge with kink and here we are. We will cover the basics of learning theory and will teach handlers the mechanics of a training session. This class will teach you all the components of training and working with animals and how you can apply them to your petplay. Introducing the clicker to your pet will build new ways to communicate without words.

** There will be time for hands on learning at this end of this class. There will clickers, treat pouches and some training treats provided. If you have a favorite snack or food allergies and would like to participate please bring some!

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.

Calling all "s" types, or folx on the "right side of the slash". Have you ever been accused of being "bratty", "difficult", "contrary" or just downright disobedient when that really isn't your intention at all? If so, then this is the class for you! Join Lady Steele as she shows you how to be sassy with a zing all while honoring the duties and responsibilities of your power exchange relationship(s). She will discuss Alpha personality types on the "right side of the slash" and then show those that are "challenging" how to be so with obedience while not giving up what makes them, them.

Why play solo when you can tag in a partner and double the creativity, energy, and mischief? Whether you're looking to master the art of good cop/bad cop, orchestrate a seamless group round-robin, or explore the thrill of proxy topping, this class is all about teamwork, communication, and making sure everyone involved is having an unforgettable time.

We’ll dive into strategies for reading each other’s cues, keeping the scene flowing smoothly, and making sure your shared energy enhances the experience rather than stepping on toes—literally and figuratively. Whether you're brand new to co-topping or looking to refine your skills, get ready for a class full of creativity, collaboration, and, most importantly, fun!

Many people dive head first into the BDSM world while thinking of rope, handcuffs, and other restraints (Bondage) or perhaps the giving (Sadism) or receiving (Masochism) of pain. A lot of participants breeze over "the big D", or the discipline aspect of BDSM. For some, discipline is the heart and soul of what it is that we do. Join Lady Steele as she speaks on what richness discipline can add to your power exchange relationship, even if that relationship is with yourself. Come hear how this vital aspect of BDSM can take your experience to the next level. Protocols, rituals, various forms of education, and practical, everyday applications of discipline will be discussed.

This class would benefit anyone on "either side of the slash".
