Play and Scene Skills Classes
Bottoming 101
An introductory class, from the perspective of a bottom and lifestyle submissive. This class is specifically designed to introduce newcomers to BDSM and help them navigate what can be an intimidating entry into the lifestyle. We focus on safety, vetting, negotiations, education, and personal exploration in a discussion geared toward new bottoms and s-types.
Bottoming for the Violet Wand
Bottoming for the Violet Wand is a class focused on skills for Violet Wand bottoms, or those interested in bottoming for electrical play. We will discuss safety, how to vet and assess Wand Tops’ skills and knowledge, how to negotiate the type of play and experience you want, the after-effects of a wand scene, and how to begin doing more advanced play. This class also provides a hands-on opportunity to experience a variety of different sensations from the wand, allowing both new and experienced bottoms a chance to try different types of wands, electrodes, and toys. While the class is geared towards bottoms of all skill levels, Tops are welcome.
Effective Negotiations
Navigating negotiations can be difficult, especially if one (or both) people are new to it. The negotiation part of any scene or relationship is incredibly important, but is often passed over quickly because, let's face it, it's just not as fun as the other stuff! However, being able to effectively negotiate and frame a scene or Power Exchange dynamic can keep both people safe and help prevent confusion and frustration in the future. We will discuss the importance and impact of an effective negotiation, different types of negotiation, and tools for navigating a negotiation when there is a significant experience or power differential.
Vetting and Keeping Yourself Safe
We all know the importance of vetting, but are we really doing it effectively? What other tools and resources do you have to keep yourself safe? This workshop focuses on how to vet a potential partner, questions to ask, how to evaluate the answers, and some of the tools at your disposal. We will also discuss keeping yourself safe during your initial meeting and play, as well as red flags that can be hidden further down the line.
Playing in the Mind
Many BDSM scenes are heightened with the addition of a psychological component. However, venturing into that territory is not without risks. This class will focus on scenes with major psychological elements (mindfucks, interrogation, fear play, pushing limits and playing with triggers), negotiating and preparing, crafting the scenes, debriefing, and how to react if something goes wrong. Taught by two advanced edge players, both with backgrounds in human behavior, this is an advanced class for RACK players who want to incorporate more psychological play into their scenes. (Can be co-taught with my Owner.)
Topping for the Reluctant Bottom
Are you a bottom or s-type? Are you suddenly asked to Top? Do you want to try switching for fun? Does your partner need to bottom for a scene and only wants to bottom to you? Are you nervous as hell to Top?? Many Tops and D-types enjoy bottoming for certain activities or scenes now and then, sometimes couples want to try switching, or you may want to explore playing with someone new in a different capacity than your usual role. This class is for folks who identify as bottoms and s-types, but want to gain more Topping skills so they can feel more confident in that role. We will talk about common scenarios you may come across where you may want or be asked to Top, first steps to take, tricks for feeling confident and crafting a scene, and strategies to help you feel secure in your role while occasionally stepping out of it.
Humiliation without Body Negativity
We often associate humiliation with feeling ashamed about our bodies or mind. For those who struggle with body image, that can mean not wanting to engage in humiliation play. But what if you really like being squirmy, shy, and embarrassed in front of people? What if you really want to explore humiliation in a positive way? The reality is that humiliation can be achieved in many different ways, and different tactics make different people “tick.” This class delves into the ways that positive and even affirming language can be used to create humiliation scenes where the bottom doesn’t have to worry about feeling ashamed of their body or intellect.
