You will witness the return of our infamous Hysteria relief station run by the Viscountess Zappula and her Fucksaw Orgone generator machine.

As always, there will be fun, prizes, vendors and, of course, extreme electric play with Neon wands and Violet Wands.

The Devilishly Devious Zombie John and his very best H. H. Holmes meets Jules Verne inspired latex designs will be performing feats of body painting extraordinaire.

Minions #1 and #2 will be serving as human furniture, door people and DMs (dungeon monitors). We will be decorating them up with some liquid latex Xmas cheer and making one of them a Yule tree.

We will also play Victorian games like anal ring toss, ass cherry relay and we have a new game for you chirurgeons and medical doctors, Frankenstein’s monster electro-operation.

Bad News/Good News: Bad News 1st, White City Rippers cannot make it this year. Good News 2nd, we have officially booked Spears and Gears, a Britney Spears Steampunk cover band.

Energetic Sex for Pragmatists with Reid Mihalko @ The Studio (10 min SW of Downtown Chicago)
Mar 5 @ 2:00 AM – 4:30 AM
ReidMihalko_ReidAboutSexKen and I are super excited to have sex and relationship expert, Reid Mihalko, at The Studio on Monday, March 4th! 
When I first heard about Reid’s Energetic Sex for Pragmatists class not only did I want to take it, I wished I could make it available to the Chicago community too— my wish came true! I‘ve always been interested in tantric principles and energy work but find most learning resources a bit too “new agey” for my taste.  Because of this I’ve steered clear of any class that mentions “chakras,” over-uses the phrase “paradigm shift,” or is otherwise heavily rooted in New Age Spirituality.  
If this describes you too, we’ve got your back.  Join us on Monday 3/4 for some no-nonsense instruction that will help you ramp up and harness your sexual energy.  
If you haven’t attended one of Reid’s Mihalko’s classes before you’re in for a real treat.  He’s wicked smart and hilariously funny.  Reid is known worldwide for his TV appearances, workshops, university lectures and a whole lot more.  In other words, he’s kind of a big deal! You can learn more about Reid HERE 

Energetic Sex for Pragmatists Class Description: 

Explore Kundalini, the “Tantric Twitchies” and Vibrational Luvin’ Without the Woo-Woo! (with live Demos, too)

Remember that Cosmo magazine article that talked about how Tantra and breathing could give you explosive orgasms? How about the urban legend about Sting having sex for eight hour stints?

Regardless of your tolerance for words like “chakras” and “yoni,” there is a non New Agey way to understanding and incorporating ecstatic experiences into your bedroom routine that is fun, easy, and explosive.

If you or a lover have ever experienced post-orgasmic spasms or “twitches” after lovemaking, or feelings of heat and tension in your lower back, hands, neck or throat… You might be more energetic in your sex life than you think! And if you’ve never experienced those things but would like to, you might be pleasantly surprised how easily energetic sex is to grasp and play with.

Join sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for an evening of frank, fun, and electrifying learning targeted for folks who aren’t necessarily New Agey.

Reid promises to drop the woo-woo and leave his Sandskrit-to-English dictionary at home! And, for those of you who say Namasté instead of “thank you,” Reid’s got you covered, too!

You will be introduced to:

  • Reid’s particular views on how sexual energy “behaves” and how it “works,” as well as ways you can begin accessing more energetic awareness in the bedroom
  •  What Kriyas (“the twitchys”) can look like and what to do when you or a lover experiences them
  •  Three possible approaches for engaging sexual energy and expanding it when exploring energetic sex with a partner or solo with yourself
  •  What playing a singing saw has to do with energetic sex and expanding your lovemaking
  • Simple breathing and “presence” techniques to build up energetic awareness
  •  How to use “pressure play” and where so you can help unlock and activate points on your lover’s body to augment energetic experiences during love making
  •  A few advance tips and tricks that will make you smile and your partner moan regardless of whether “the twitchys” happen or not!

Whatever your level of experience with sex that seems to be “more than just sex,” Reid’s humorous and informative instruction, sex education, and live demonstrations on this esoteric (and yet more common than you think) realm of energetic sex is not to be missed!

Ken and I are beyond delighted to have the opportunity to host Reid’s class at The Studio! Cost is $20 in advance via Eventbrite or $30 at the door.  Once you purchase your ticket on Eventbrite you will be e-mailed the exact address of the venue.  To secure your tickets and reserve your spot, click HERE.
