A structured discussion space for male-identifying folks to be able to discuss vulnerable topics. It can be hard for men to have spaces to express themselves emotionally and in a vulnerable way. I would like to pose questions that allow space for deep topics to be discussed. What does it mean to be submissive and male, and how does that change your perception of yourself? How does it feel to constantly need to be aware of yourself as a dominant and see yourself viewed with suspicion? How do you square your idea of yourself as a good person with someone who beats women?

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is a little-understood aspect of neurodiversity that frequently co-occurs with anxiety, ADHD, and more. For submissives in relationships where behavior correction may be part of daily life, the extreme emotional responses prompted by RSD can be even worse pain than a physical punishment. For Dominants with RSD, the roller coaster ride of negative thoughts can damage self-confidence and the trust that is essential to safe play. Adding in ethical non-monogamy, long-distance relationships, and more can make RSD even more challenging. Finding ways to listen to your loved one(s) instead of your brain weasels is a great reward personally and within your dynamic.

Your TaskM/ster Shako and his assistant, Silly Little Saturn, will be hosting a similarly pronounced but legally distinct show based on the British TV show of the same name. The premise is simple: there will be five (un)lucky contestants competing for my approval by performing a series of tasks with a kinky twist. I have sent these brave souls sealed envelopes containing the tasks to complete before the con, and you get to come applaud how well they did and embrace their humiliation fetish when they inevitably do not do well.
Our show will follow the same format as its namesake:
1 In person prize task
~ 5 Pre-recorded video tasks
1 Final live task of the show!
The winner takes home all five of the prize task items. Come enjoy the show!

We all spend time and energy learning how to negotiate, play and sometimes even handle an injury or two, but is there more we can do to help our bodies be ready for an event or mitigate some of the con drop that occurs after the fact? For most of us, the answer is yes. This workshop deals with some of the things our bodies are subjected to during play, how they affect us, what bodies typically do in response, what we can do to prepare in advance and how we can take care of ourselves afterwards. While everyone's body is unique, this will look at what is common for a generally healthy person, how different health concerns can change things and resources for more information.

I am a skilled top and domme and have been active in the local community for over five years. I got hooked on flogging at my first play party. After a few scenes, I purchased some floggers to keep in my toy bag so I could always be ready in case I found a willing top. It was on a whim during the summer of 2017 that I purchased a matched set of floggers and set out to learn Florentine flogging. Within no time I had my first flogging scene as a top! I continue to practice and love to arrange flogging scenes as often as I can. I have since developed beginner and advanced classes that were held at the local dungeon. I'm always happy to demonstrate the art of flogging with others.
Floggers are wonderful impact tools, from stingy to thuddy to sensual and all points in between. Let�???�??�?�¢??s put a flogger in your hands so you and your bottom can have as much fun as possible. This hands-on class will offer some ideas for you to add this versatile item to your repertoire and create fabulous flogging scenes.
Double the fun! Two handed and Florentine flogging. Please bring a matched set of floggers with you.
A space dedicated to flogging for an hour or so. Ask questions, try out a flogger or practice with your bottom. I am happy to host. I can bring some floggers to display and practice with.
