GWNN Bash 2025

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.

We enter an M/s dynamic to grow, learn, play, love, enjoy the lifestyle and as time goes on that bond grows and we grow older, our needs change, our goals change, our dynamic changes too. We will discuss the challenges of growing older and it's effects on our dynamics, how to help your dynamic evolve as your lives evolves, what steps can be made to preserve the dynamic while accommodating for the changes that come with growing older.

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.

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".
