Events Calendar

This class is near and dear to my heart (pun intended). We will be taking a look at blades of all kinds and their use in BDSM. There will be a couple of lectures before play time. This event is clean and sober, no alcohol, drugs or smoking allowed. This event is open to anyone 18 years or older. IDs with proof of age will be required at door.

RSVP to Ken Melvoin Berg’s email [email protected] by no later than noon on 3/28/12 for the info on location of The Studio.

There will be a lecture by Happy-Venom, who is an expert on many subjects including knife combat, weapon choice, knife care, hygiene and safety.

Happy-Venom bio:
Happy-Venom has been kinky for most of his life, going back to when he used to tie up his female schoolmates like he was a cartoon villain, suspend them by ropes in barns, or dress them up in tack-and-saddle and smack them with riding crops in what was purely innocent fun. Sure it was. Happy-Venom likes has enjoyed hitting things since he was a kid. He has been boxing, wrestling, and practicing martial arts for more than 30 years, used to do crazy shit like fought in cages, traveled to distant lands to shoot people and blow stuff up, and wrangled drunkards in biker bars. Now he does more humanitarian activities like train fighters and security personnel on how to beat people up more efficiently. He has also been involved professionally in kink since learning there actually was such a thing, back in the late ‘80s in Europe. There, he got into teaching dominatrixes how not to kill people when choking them unconscious, as well as getting paid to beat people for fun. He’s done that off and on since then, in one way or another, and still occasionally dusts off his interrogation equipment for fun and profit.

We will also have a special “Dexter Room” for extra messy play during this event.

Hot & Healthy Erotic Humiliation

Are you into humiliation play? Curious about it? Do you wonder why some people enjoy being embarrassed, shamed, and degraded? Many steer clear of humiliation because it seems so extreme and emotionally cruel. While some people are into that style of play, humiliation can also take on many other forms.

In this workshop, Sunny Megatron deconstructs the physiological elements of erotic humiliation with the goal of helping you figure out what flavor gets your juices flowing. You’ll learn how to: negotiate this kind of play, gauge intensity levels ranging from playful embarrassment to hard-core degradation, keep the focus on emotional safety, build humiliation scenes with positive outcomes in mind, inject humor into your emotional play, and more.
