SUMMARY:The Wide World of Emotional Masochism with Tom
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nHave you ever seen a bottom fall to their knees blushing and squirming and found it amazingly hot? Have you watched a top reduce their bottom to tears with words alone\, then seen them happily cuddled up together not long after? Have you ever wondered: what is it about playing with our emotions and our egos that is so hot and often so edgy? \nIn this class we will talk about why you may want to engage in this kind of play\, discuss how to get started and what to watch out for\, explain the differences between humiliation and degradation\, and go over a wide range of ideas on how to start exploring this area of kink. Please come and share your own experiences and creative ideas as well! \nPresenter Bio\nTom has been around the DC kink community for over 20 years. He is a Black Rose Emeritus Board Member\, Crucible volunteer\, and event photographer. You will just as likely find him working behind a desk as you will find him lovingly hurting friends. He was born and raised in the Northern VA area and currently lives with his wonderful wife\, geriatric cat\, and far too much to do and too little time to do it. \nHumiliation and power exchange were the catalysts which got him into the BDSM community in the first place. From some very confusing teen years\, into realizing he greatly wanted to actually engage in this kind of thing\, it was always there as part of what he wanted to do. Tom loves to put on his ‘helpful’ hat and give useful or “useful” ideas to those that want to play with these sorts of things. \nHis other passion is photography. If there is a camera allowed\, you will almost always find Tom behind the lens. Going by the name ShutterDoll\, he loves to be able to capture a moment\, a memory\, or just an excellent whip strike. \n\n**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED. YOU MUST ATTEND IN PERSON. **\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\nProof of Vaccination will be required.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.

SUMMARY:Chain Bondage For Beginners with CTW and Mister
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nChains are a kink staple that evoke images of dungeons and being trapped\, feelings of cold and hard restraint\, and power and control. This class is a discussion of risks and safety using chains for bondage\, a demonstration of various metal connectors\, how to maintain tension and make single columns using chain\, a demonstration of a simple chest and hip harness with removal\, all followed by open labbing time for attendees to play with chains. Great for self- and partnered-bondage participants and absolute beginners! Participants are welcome to bring their own chain; the presenters will also have plastic chain available to borrow to practice with. \nPresenter Bio\nCecilia T. Winters (‘CTW’ – She/Her) is your typical queer Millennial. Born at the start of the internet age\, she has always benefited from information at her fingertips. She identifies as bisexual and ethically non-monogamous. She has served as a dungeon and playspace monitor\, a demo top for a number of local and national kink events\, and as a presenter. Her non-kink interests include reading\, making lists\, watching early 2000s crime dramas\, and learning about ancient human cultures. \nFischer Garrett (‘Mister’ – He/Him) is a bisexual\, polyamorous top. His time spent in the lifestyle has led him through a journey of self discovery\, from once being totally monogamous to being a relationship anarchist; from wanting nothing to do with bondage to developing a way to practice bondage in a relatively unperformed and under-documented fashion. In the past several years he has volunteered for larger kink events as a member of a consent incident response team\, a dungeon/playspace monitor\, and recently as a presenter. He is a huge fan of costumes and masks\, and it is not unusual to know that he is around but often in clever and sometimes strange disguises. Together they are co-authors of the book\, The Art of Chain: A Guide to Steel Restraint (Mystic Productions Press\, 2022). \n\n**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED.

SUMMARY:Tiny Terrors: Getting BIG Sensations from Small Needles!
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nThere is a trend in the sharps community to always push towards larger gauges and lots of them (Willow & Marti do love a good 8g hook!) but this approach can lack nuance. \nWillow will cover considerations for using short and more flexible hypodermic needles and lancets. There will be some discussion of why and how you might choose to play with little pricks\, plus a thorough demo\, to really drive the point home. \nPain is inevitable\, but suffering requires a lot less steel than you might imagine. With thoughtful placement and vicious intent\, the masochists in your life will never underestimate a 30g again! \nPresenter Bio\nMarti & Willow are a pair of queer\, sadomasochistic switches with a penchant for gleeful scenes which will make your toes curl! With over two decades of combined expertise\, they make a formidable team specializing in rope\, sharps\, and gross play. \nMarti has been an organizer\, volunteer\, and presenter all her kink life. Masochism is her love language and she is her own biggest sadist. “No Thank You” usually means you are on the right path! \nWillow has garnered an international following with his approachable\, engaging\, and always entertaining teaching style. Kink is a core part of who he is and what he does\, followed closely by ethical sluttery and a love of learning. \nAs a medical professional and professional pervert\, they can certainly say: one person’s torture\, is another person’s Tuesday. \n\n**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED. YOU MUST ATTEND IN PERSON. **\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\nProof of Vaccination will be required.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.

The friend asks the husband if he knows where her erogenous zones are. The husband’s reply\, “Yes. Her father gave me a map!”Few of us have such accommodating in-laws\, but with some time and a sense of adventure\, you can map your own partner’s pleasure and pain spots.

Throughout the course\, we will take a head-to-toe inventory and practice finding and manipulating these spots. Participants will walk away wearing a map for later kinky fun! \nPresenter Bio\nWillow is a queer sadomasochistic switch who will never tire of rope\, blood\, or hooks.
