Ken and I are very excited to be involved with Playground Toronto! We’ll be giving the keynote at the Saturday night dinner plus teaching a class on pervertables earlier that same afternoon. All the details for our sessions at Playground are here. You can see ticket options and read about other sessions here.
Pervertables Class Description: What the heck is a pervertable? They are ordinary household objects you have converted over for sexy time fun. If you’ve ever picked up a spatula to spank your partner or used a neck tie as a wrist restraint, you’ve made a pervertable! Ken Melvoin-Berg and Sunny Megatron (host and Executive Producer for the Showtime original series Sex with Sunny Megatron) are a married couple that teaches together, works together and are “Ambassadors of Fuck” and will teach you how to take ordinary objects and make them into something fun (and cheap) you can use for sex. Join us with an open mind and a good sense of humor.
On Sunday well be teaching at Oasis Aqualounge nearby. Stay tuned for more details on that.
100% ONLINE CONFERENCE
JOIN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR – MIDORI FOR THIS ONLINE KINKY SEXCEPTIONAL WEEKEND WITH SHA IN FEBRUARY!
GET READY FOR TWO DAYS OF UNIQUE DEEP DIVES INTO THE REALITIES AND CHALLENGES OF BDSM AS PRACTICED BY PEOPLE TODAY. WE WILL EXPLORE THE EXISTING TOOLS, LANGUAGE, IDENTITY FRAMEWORK AND STRATEGIES COMMONLY USED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
We will unpack the personal assumptions, unspoken expectations, general cultural stereotyping, and kink subcultures’ own mythologizing narratives. These biases may be held by clients as well as clinicians. For the clients, these may lead to unproductive, unfulfilling or even toxic sexual experiences or relationships. For clinicians, this course fills many gaps in therapy discourse of BDSM sexuality, where clients often go unserved.
Midori will introduce one practical framework around language of play and strategy navigation of desire as well as help you become proficient in an effective model of sex and BDSM negotiation where mutuality and collaboration is emphasized.
Midori’s presentation will be frank and we are encouraging everyone’s first person perspective discussions. Expect break out discussions, role playing conversations, lectures and Q&A.
Over these two days, you will dive into:
-
What BDSM practitioners are seeking and the challenges that they experience
-
Practical, judgement-free framework and language of BDSM
-
Improving cultural proficiency of North American BDSM
-
Understanding how clients may use Midori’s “BDSM Appetite Grid” for better play and pleasure
-

-
Considering constructive versus destructive erotic humiliation play
-
Gaining working knowledge of a model to conceptualize and discuss humiliation play
