On the Edge: Cryoplay (BDSM play with extreme cold and ice) @ The Studio (10 min SW of Downtown Chicago)
Sep 22 @ 9:00 PM – 12:00 AM

Ice and cold are not new. Technology and chemistry have given us some amazing advances in this realm. Ken Melvoin-Berg, our resident science geek and sexpert, will be teaching this edge play seminar.

We will be learning about the procurement, gear, safety issues and background of using liquid nitrogen (LN2), frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) and frozen water (ice) play. This class will be a demo learning class only.

Disclaimer: Liquid nitrogen play is very extreme but is actually less dangerous than rope bondage.

We will be addressing the medical/aftercare side of all this play as well. Hypothermia, cold burns, lacerations and asphyxiation are all dangers in this sort of play. We will help you identify and treat these issues before they become a problem.

This event is at The Studio in Chicago, IL. All our events are clean and sober, the age limit is for people 18 and up. Please have IDs available at the door.

Due our extreme cost of obtaining the equipment and chemicals needed for the demo, we are charging $20 in advance or $30 at the door. No refunds will be given for advance payment.

RSVP to Ken aka at [email protected] with the word “CRYOPLAY” as the subject. To forward advance payment, use paypal to [email protected].

This will put you on the list and give you the location for this event. We expect it to sell out as we are getting the same sort of interest that we had in our interrogation class, so register early.

May 30 @ 1:00 AM – 7:00 AM

 

May 29th is President Kennedy’s Birthday! Come join us at The Studio.

The show Mad Men has inspired a lot of folks to be more conscious of the clothes they wear. We are having a fashion night/play party for those that like to play dress up. If you identify as male for the evening wear a suit. If you identify as female: wear vintage dresses or lingerie, stockings, high heels (maybe a corset) and absolutely no pants.
