Bratting: It’s Not Topping From The Bottom!

Pressure points can be the ultimate lazy top toy. While it can take years to learn the more than 200 pressure points and their associated medical effects a few general rules and techniques can allow you to use this technique relatively safely. Points can be used to inflict mild to severe pain, but they can also be used to inflict varying degrees of pleasure. So this can be a class where service oriented bottoms can learn useful things at the same time that sadistic tops can learn ways to get maximum results with minimal physical effort

Where are these differences, and how do they matter for the future of the community? What can our older leaders learn from the younger generation, and how can the older generation effectively mentor those younger?

Is punishment or discipline always needed? Can you have a M/s or D/s relationship without these? Is corporal punishment the only way? This is NOT a demo of kinky schoolgirl roleplay “funishment”, but a discussion of real discipline, undertaken in a contracted relationship in order to help the sub/slave meet his or her own goals (to be more functional, less self-destructive, etc). The presentation will include methods, means and theory behind the use of Punishment and Discipline in D/s and M/s relationships, as well as an open discussion of issues and problems that participants bring.  I will use my current practices with the ones in my house and show how to determine when a new discipline or punishment is needed and an old one should be abandoned.

What do you want?  How do you get your needs met?  Negotiation is vital to positive BDSM experiences and discussing aftercare before scening will help ensure that everyone’s needs are met.  Doms and subs have a responsibility to one another and themselves to be clear in communicating expectations.  We will explore why negotiation is so important and how to proceed with actively pursuing your desires.
