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.

On The Edge Presents: “Give Me The Code!” Military Style Intelligence Gathering & Interrogation Play Workshop ~ Chicago @ The Studio
Jul 1 @ 2:00 AM – 7:00 AM

 

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This event is 18 years of age and up, clean and sober. No drinking, drugs or smoking allowed in The Studio. It will take place on 6/30/12 from 9pm to 2am. Late comers are welcome, but we will be starting the class at 9:45pm sharp.

This class is a $20 donation (more if you can afford it).

RSVP to [email protected] (especially if you don’t know where the Studio is located. It is approximately 10 min south of Downtown Chicago). RSVPs will be returned 24 hours before the event.
