People participate in BDSM, all the time not knowing the legal pitfalls. It's time to get down to brass tacks. What legal dangers are inherent to WIIWD?

Fat is an intimate substance- loaded with feelings, memories and stories. Fat is a powerful substance- containing more energy than any other cells in the body. Fat is an erotic substance- fleshing out many erogenous areas, making them warm and soft. Let's disrupt hegemonic, white-supremacist ideologies that want us to disconnect from our bodies, in particular our fat, and play with sexy somatic exercises that will deepen your relationship with your fat. In this workshop, you have a chance to practice feeling your fat and discovering what that can open up in your play, both solo and with others.

Florentine flogging and singletailing is a little bit ballet and a little bit rock ‘n roll. In this hands-on workshop, we will cover a little history (who knew?) and then get right to the mechanics and practice of this art. Bring a pair of floggers or singletails if you have them, if not, we will provide practice tools. You must have basic skills wielding floggers and singletails. We will take your skills to the next level.

Hurting sexy bits is all kinds of fun on its own, but for those of us who are gender non-conforming or enjoy genderfuckery, it can be especially powerful. How do you torture the cock of someone who happens to have internal anatomy? What are some safe and sexy ways to hurt the pussy of that pretty girl you know, no matter
what's under her skirt? What if your partner doesn't have a gender and just wants some bits that are sore? Come learn techniques for using genitorture to get the play and the scene both you and your bottom want.

This class draws upon techniques from sports medicine, dance, and circus arts to provide exercises for deepening your body awareness and protecting your body from injuries while topping or bottoming for bondage, impact, and other physically intense forms of play.

This class includes a simple full-body warm-up that can be used prior to play, exercises for improving awareness of how your body feels in any particular moment or position, tips for improving your spatial awareness and how to stay alert to potential nearby hazards, joint stability exercises for active bottoming, and functional movement tips for avoiding repetitive stress while topping.

First there was SSC, then RACK, now… EPP. Explicit Prior Permission legally allows for consent to the erotic use of force or restraint in the revised Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault. This new legal framework is groundbreaking because BDSM, even when consensual, might be violating your state law. Learn how to get Explicit Prior Permission, along with how the Consent Counts project achieved this effort, and the effects from the stigma of criminalization on our communities. You’ll also hear about NCSF resources that can help you and your group deal with consent violations.

Do you love the look of sky-high heels but worry about falling? Have you been watching your shoe collection gather dust during the pandemic and wondering how to get used to wearing them again?

This class will cover how to find a good pair of heels or ballet boots and how to make the shoes you already have more comfortable. Watch a demonstration of strategies for walking in heels and standing in ballet boots. Learn exercises to prevent injuries and feel more confident in heels, risk mitigation tips when combining heels with various kinks, and aftercare for feet and legs.

This class is focused on bringing the healing arts of beading and quilling into a deeply erotic space and in using natural elements in impact play. For the Anishinaabe, the artwork of quilling or beading is less important than the energy imbued into it during its creation. Beading is to be done with a sense of peace, something that you create while you think of the person you are creating it for. Blood play and impact align in this Indigenous workshop and demonstration led by House of Iron Matriarch, Ms Jay.

Many styles of domination revolve around the idea that submission is gained through force and aggression. The wants, needs, and desires of the submissive are often dismissed. This workshop combines research in social psychology, interpersonal communication, and organizational leadership to model dominance that uses humility and emotional intelligence to deepen D/s dynamics. This domination recognizes the power of vulnerability wherein learning, growth and success become a collaborative process that empowers all involved.

It is often that the deep dark root of our desires is what makes them so damn hot. But what happens when we haven’t interrogated what fuels these desires? Sometimes this is okay and adds to the deliciousness, and sometimes, it’s something we aren’t yet comfortable with. Acquiring consent from ourselves is just as important as the consent of others you are playing with.

In this workshop, we discuss the importance of self-interrogation, why it’s best to do so before (and after) we play with others, and explore some of the deep dark roots of our own kinky curiosities.

The mind is the biggest sex organ, so why not use it to get someone off? In this class, participants will learn how to use the threat of fear, pain, torture, pleasure, and fantasy in an interrogation scene. After watching a live demo, participants will learn that in an interrogation scene, the Dominant partner takes on the role of an interrogator while the consenting submissive participant plays the subject of an interrogation. Particpants will practice negoitating a scene to ensure consent is used properly to learn safety protocals. Attendees will create their own interrogation scenes and discuss their roleplays together.

We’ve tuned our eyes and ears to recognize problematic behaviors when we see them. Now what? This workshop will offer a buffet of options for addressing the words and actions that stop our community from being safe for everyone. Your toolbox will be filled with practical techniques you can use in an array of environments, from taking advantage of the educational moment to simply walking away. You can stop oppression (with or without causing a scene.)

Lady Steele is a Femme Lesbian Alpha Leather slave who is Autistic and has been formally diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. She was inspired by her own experiences to bring forward the discussion about what it means to have variations in the human brain and cognition (for instance in sociability, learning, attention, mood and other mental functions) when you are a member of the BDSM life. In this class you will hear about what it is like to be a person in the BDSM life that has neurovariances and how those variances affect her BDSM life.

Meridians are energy pathways in the body commonly used acupressure and acupuncture. Along these pathways are many points that can cause intense pain without injury or marks. Pressure points can be used with little strength on all body types. We will practice several effective pressure points to get your bottom's attention, cause pain, takedown, or subdue. Safety and health concerns will be discussed to ensure that this play is fun and safe. Participation is not required; however, this is a hands-on class so grab somebody willing and watch them make great faces!

Let's face it, we have all seen M/s conflict resolution classes that propose one of two options: set the dynamic aside while in conflict or fall back to the dynamic and remove the voice of the slave completely. But do either of these options work or even make sense? Nope! So let's talk about how to resolve conflict like adults in an M/s dynamic!

Laughter is therapeutic, increases oxygen intake, and creates positive energy.

We’ll use laughter, games, and distraction to change up headspace. Think Tic Tac Toe with evil sticks and bite marks! There are so many games from childhood that can be pervertable. Challenge a friend to a game of Simon! This energy effects all participants within the scene and those watching. When you venture outside of your comfort zone you will find confidence, personal growth, and the excitement of a new experience or skill. Join me for Sadistic Games and spin the Wheel of MisFortune!

Do you feel a little shy about taking it all off? Want to learn how to spice things up before getting down to business?

This fast-paced, demo-packed, interactive class is sex and BDSM educator Felice Shays’ favorite. First, some rough sex basics and then it’s on: face slapping, biting, humiliation, knife fucking, choking, fear, pissing on/in favorite holes, and more.

It is in the broken places where the greatest opportunities for growth occur. Growth changes key aspects of who we are, and sometimes challenges our core beliefs. Because of this, growth is often messy, never linear and most of the time painful.

The Deaf community is tiny, and everyone knows everyone else. How do you express your most intimate self without having it spread like wildfire to the whole Deaf world? What if the interpreter for a kink event tells their friends where they saw you? We'll talk about strategies and nuances for being out (or not), fulfilling your needs while protecting yourself from exposure beyond your comfort level, and how to handle the Deaf rumor mill.
