For thousands of years, and perhaps longer, spanking has been a part of human history. It transcends kink, finding itself in movies and vanilla bedrooms. Spanking has even been written about in cosmo, although thatâ??s no shocker.
It has been proven to increase blood flow to the buttocks and by proxy the genitals, heightening arousal. It is arguably, the best way to have an intimate connection of flesh on flesh in the S&M world.
This class will open up the world of spanking to you, teach you to conquer the moon and the mind. It will focus on the bare handed beating of the buttocks, without forgetting the brain and the body as tools for a bewildering time. Count with me, and enjoy.

Either rope and a knowledge of basic column ties or leather straps or cuffs will be helpful in replicating the scenarios from this class, as will a pair of nipple clamps.

KnotFrayed has over a half-century of kink and rope experience, starting in Texas in the 60's and 70's before public kink was even a thing. Later, KnotFrayed spent time learning and exploring in Japan and California, which were more kink-friendly environments with many more learning opportunities available. There, he learned a lot about the leather scene, kink, and rope bondage through the late 70's and 80's.
KnotFrayed entered the public New England scene when he moved here in 1985, visiting ManRay, early munches, events, private parties, and making kinky friends throughout the region and the world. He has been involved in the local kink community for many years, and seeing a lack of opportunity for rope aficionados locally, he started Salem Rope nights, which was a popular gathering spot for rope beginners and experienced rope people for many years. He has taught basic rope theory and bondage classes in private and small-group settings over the years, learning more about suspension, shibari, and kinbaku along the way.
Now, as an experienced rigger, he looks to share his knowledge and passion for all things rope with the wider community, keeping an eye always toward safety, engagement, and mutual fun.

Koalafied_ has been active in the local and greater kink community since 2013. Rope has been their primary focus and passion for the last 8 years. Over that time through continued education and practice they have acquired a vast amount of knowledge, skill, and experience on the subject. However, learning involved a lot of trial and error due to the lack of representation in rope education available. So in 2017 after seeing a need for more inclusive and body positive rope they founded Black Knot Rope Group in Maine. Still running successfully with the help of their rope partners the group has been an amazing space and resource for in person rope education. Koalafied is also proud to have had the opportunity to work with shibaristudy.com in filming educational tutorials focused on tying bigger bodies in the effort to make this knowledge even more accessible.

20ish years ago, neysa stumbled hard into the arms of the kink community. She has steadily meandered her way south across the country to her forever home outside Ft. Worth, Texas. Her path in the community has been as varied as her travels, having begun as a rope bunny, then as a house slave in a gorean-style multi-family poly home. In 2003, her first time being a pony opened her eyes to a dream she never knew could be a reality.
She has spun her joy of crafting into designing and making all of her own gear, including restoring a driving cart to new glory. Neysa is a draft and cart pony, and finds solace in the protocol demands of her calling. Life has guided her to walking the path of leather as well, earning her boots and vest as well as the family of House Cyclone. This helped her to grow as a person and spend more time with the community at large. Everyone has given so much that she wished to find a way to give back. She volunteers at mainly Texas events including Beyond Vanilla, Bondage Expo Dallas, South Plains Leather Fest and Great Plains Olympus Leather to volunteering to happily heft and hoof equipment for Team Dungeon she has taken a small step in that direction. As a presenter, Neysa calls on her experiences to highlight the trust, respect and joy necessary to walk the path of the leather pony.

Some things covered in class will be:
Anatomy (body, bruising) where to hit and when
Negotiation including safety
Styles of caning
Types of canes
Techniques
Participants will be invited to try rhythmic caning with gentle, loving guidance after sepiessa demonstrates.

I am a Dominant cis male who joined the scene in 2011. I identify as a service top and sensual sadist, which to me means giving you overwhelming pleasure until it becomes painful. A retro video gamer, a drum and bugle corps fan, a board/card game enthusiast, I embrace my nerdery in my kink. I enjoy latex, creating Rube-Goldberg like predicament bondage scenarios, perverting my pinball machine, and hitting people with a rubber chicken. Oh, and it's pronounced Shay-ko, and it's a hat.

Yogi, rope bottom, submissive, pansexual, optimist are a few words that describe Shana. She has been an active rope bottom for over 12 years who strongly believes that rope bottoming is a skill and not a passive activity. She has studied and taught bottoming skills at multiple venues in the New England area.
Shana discovered yoga at the Fetish Fair Flea market in 2012 which led her on a journey of deep yogic study, earning her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training certification just a few years later. Additional training in pranayama (yogic breathing), Yoga for Athletes and Trauma Sensitive Yoga have enhanced her rope bottoming skills and informed her yoga classes. Most recently Shana has been teaching yoga with a special dedication to the transgender, cross dresser, and non-binary populations, striving to create a safe space for people of all gender identities to practice yoga.
Chakras are energy centers within your body and what better way to explore them than with rope? If youâ??ve ever felt a connection with another person or with yourself while being bound or tying, you already know that rope can be a great conduit for energy.
Come learn more about these energy centers as we apply rope to the seven chakras and learn about their meaning, color, sound, location and more. Come alone or with a partner. Bring a minimum of one hank of rope. Natural fiber or brightly colored rainbow colors, whatever makes you happy. We will be sitting on the floor in this class so you may want to bring a towel, sheet, blanket, or yoga mat.

This discussion will be a deep dive into: the nature of triggers, how they can be experienced, recognizing their origins & source, ways to face and manage trigger responses, some of the various modalities used today, and how you may be able to help yourself and others.

Many submissives have a problem asking for what they need or want. In the D/s lifestyle, i found it even harder to ask for what i needed or wanted because i thought it meant i wasn't submissive enough. This class is designed to help you learn more about yourself and your needs and wants and be able to effectively communicate these with your partner. Why we need to be able to ask for what we need and want. When to express these needs to our Dominant or Master for the best outcome. What it is we are really looking for. How to ask. What happens if the answer is No? How to avoid feeling taken advantage of in; or resentful of; the power exchange dynamic.
Foot fetishist, fashion victim or just someone who wants to learn more about the amazing structures that get us where we want to go, this class has something for you. A quick look at the anatomy of the foot will be followed with hands on exploration (feel free to use a consenting partner's feet or your own) to increase mobility and arches, rescue some sore little piggies, and maybe even some delightful ways to torment the toes. The explorations work best with bare feet. If you have a tennis ball or pinky rubber ball, these work particularly well for this class.
Stephan and sweetwisteria are an M/s couple who have been together for nearly eight years who have been teaching lifestyle classes for the last five years. Their deep love for order and protocol has driven their dynamic and desire to create a deeper connection. They are relationship geeks who explore the fundamentals of communication and the psychology of relationships in order to enhance and improve their M/s. With a strong love of food, Stephan initially began his career path as a chef and worked in restaurants for 10 years. While his career has changed, his passion for food has not and over the last 10 years he has explored formal protocol dinners. Upon meeting sweetwisteria, they began to entertain many M/s couples and started hosting formal dinners 4-6 times per year. Further adding color to their dynamic, Stephan and sweetwisteria live in a poly house with 4 other adults, 2 cats, and 2 dogs.
Structure in relationships helps to create reminders and connection. For years we have been working and restructuring our relationship in order to keep it fresh. We will discuss our thoughts on what rules, rituals and protocols are, how to create effective ones, and how to build them into relationships to help establish them as ways to create connections.
In this class we will take a look at the relationships beyond play and the dungeons. Power and Authority dynamic relationships are one of the things that attracts many people to kink through writings like Bonds of Beauty, Marketplace, or Gor. But how do we make these relationships work on a day to day basis in the world we live in? We will discuss the journey we have taken, the good and the pitfalls of these types of relationships.
Some times we just want to do things for ourselves. As Masters, Mistresses, Dominants, we need to remember we are in a style of relationship where authority and power are not equal. In this class we will discuss authority based relationships and how the left side of the slash (Master/Mistress/Dominant) works to accept service from the right side of the slash. We will discuss pitfalls of being served, how to explore the joy of being served and service, and how to show appreciation for the services given. We will also explore a few types of service and give examples of rules, rituals and protocols to show that we appreciate the person giving service.
Being of service or in service to someone is a beautiful expression of a gift. In this class we will explore the act of giving service to another. In some ways, it's about the act of doing the service given. In other ways, it's about the presence and intention we hold within ourselves as we complete the task at hand. How do you show up to your service when you've had a terrible day at work, hit every red light on your drive home and feel like nothing has gone right?
I don't have a kink specific website.

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.
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.
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.

I believe it is the old guard/ seasoned educators that are responsible to embrace our "Next Gen" kink family. With each Generation, the "leather community evolves" and as an old guard leather hoomyn, it is my wish to support my "Next Gen' leather folk- by inviting interested folk to teach along side me. Each workshop I teach, I am dedicated to invite a Next Gen to teach with me, along side me. Not behind but next to. By doing so, they grow confidence and will take the reigns when I am long gone. It is important to "pass the torch" not just in passing but in Action. I encourage each old timer to invite a Next Gen to teach along side them- Embrace the change, it's here and it's a good thing. By the time they are my age, another phase of change will come and they will be better equipped to accept and roll with it. If we lead by example- we provide the love and guidance needed. _____________________ Events I've presented at: Kink fest Thunder in the Mountain Pantheon Leather New Orleans -Judge LeatherFest San Diego Black Rose South-plains LeatherFest 2003- Returned March 2022.

What is Edge play? Why does it fascinate so many of us? It's not for everyone, and it's certainly not SSC. For some, it means stretching themselves and for others, it can be a means to an end. There are as many different reasons to do Edge play as there are people who want to engage in it. In this class we'll discuss some definitions for it as well as some of the different reasons for engaging in Edge play. We'll go over the different skills needed: not just physical skills, but how to better negotiate for Edge play scenes where you might not be able to negotiate specifically because that would spoil the "surprise." We'll also additional safety supplies and how best to prepare for scenes that involve multiple types of play.
