Electrical Play
Friday June 27, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
The number of play options and toys for electricity in kink is just HUGE, and it can be so incredibly fun for everyone involved. Yet, many people lack a proper grounding  in the topic and find it confusing or intimidating.  This class will dispel those problems and give you a good base of understanding for electrical play, safety, and using the human body in circuits.  

We will go into detail on three distinct play types: Tens Units, Violet Wands and Zappers, as well as how to use them. Whether you’re looking for ways to spice up sensation play, erotic stimulation including orgasm overload, or to create fear, pain and all the wonderful things sadists and masochists so enjoy.

Oh, and the TOYS! There is an endless collection of toys which can be used in electrical play. We’ll explore many including how to use each, and there will be numerous examples of toys and equipment available for hands on examination. We will also demonstrate various techniques with a willing volunteer.

Fun with Male and Female Genital Torture
Saturday June 28, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm CDT
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.

The Sadistic Art of Eight Limbs, Rough Body Play from a Muay Thai Perspective
Saturday June 28, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
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.

Double the Impact: Mastering the Art of Co-Topping
Saturday June 28, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm CDT
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!

Cocksucking for Straight Men
Sunday June 29, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
Sounds like an oxymoron but a lot of straight men partake of this when in a power exchange with a Mistress and another man, or in other scenes.  Designed to encourage better technique and to de-stigmatize this enjoyable activity, the workshop will go over basics including anatomy and safety.  There will be audience participation so come prepared to have fun and stretch your boundaries.

Negotiating Consensual Non-Consent (CNC)
Sunday June 29, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm CDT
Consensual Non-Consent, or CNC, is an oft brought up practice, but rarely is the matter thoroughly discussed nor the potential concerns with this type of negotiation clearly identified.

We will discuss the mentalities at play with CNC, strategies for these types of negotiations, potential pitfalls, and we will have a robust Q&A session.

This class will provide tips & suggestions for the Doms & Tops taking the lead in these negotiations, however bottoms & subs are strongly encouraged to attend!

Negotiate with equal power, especially when it comes to CNC.
