On The Edge is offering “Give Me The Code,” an Intelligence Gathering Interrogation workshop with Ken Melvoin-Berg (@Kreamy) and Fetlife’s @Happy-Venom. These two gentlemen (well, always polite but not necessarily gentle!) are former Special Forces military folks (ok technically, Ken was only “elite,” not special) involved with interrogation or its aftercare.
Get ready to delve into extreme edge play, psychological play, pressure points, electric persuasion, water tortures and more!
Throughout the course of the evening Ken and Mr. Venom will address interrogation, confirmation and reward plus some of the extreme tactics the intelligence community uses to retrieve top secret information. They will also look at after effects including psychological aftercare, PTSD, Stockholm Syndrome, etc.
There will be much more information here than your typical BDSM Interrogation class– this is the real deal! To facilitate learning and bring together all of the elements discussed, they will conduct an intense live interrogation scene for the class.
Class will conclude with Q & A followed by open playtime at The Studio.

About this event
Just how much does a kink educator get paid to teach adults about BDSM? Is it an hourly rate? Minimum wage? Or maybe less? Many people are often surprised to find out how pay works in the world of kink education, especially once they calculate just how much it can cost to travel to conventions where they teach. In this panel we’ll be joined by a few of your favorite experienced kink educators who will share their tips and tricks for kink education marketing, negotiation, and budgeting so they’re most likely to have some income (instead of deficit).

Ignixia is an internationally renowned professional kink educator and leather-woman who was the owner and sole-operator of an award-winning leather business where she used her skills as a leatherworker to create the Kinkability toy line, first of its kind fetish gear designed for those with disabilities. As someone who lives with chronic pain, along with her partner, she uses her experiences to help others with chronic pain through classes designed to make daily life and kink easier to manage.

Her latest endeavor has been the creation and management of Kink Positive, a project designed to promote kink and sex positive thinking through education by joining efforts with other educators, vendors, and events to maximize reach.
