Perhaps I am not clear, yes I remember all that, but---there was the small matter of a hotwheels (or tonka) in a display case he walked by every day, you were going to kype and at the last I left it with you, it was still being worked out.

Ah. I decided it was in my best interest 'not' to snag the Hotwheels since they are more precious than the Crown Jewels. ::lol:: Sabotage worked so well the first time I went with espionage the second time. He stopped the game after that because he said I was way too clever and knew too much about covering my own tracks. ::laughs::

Lee was just here this week,.. *swoon*...and taught "Inner Monsters"....looking at the not safe and not sane 'dark pudding' of the soul....very powerful...i highly recommend you check it out...he is willing to teach and talk about things not many will touch...he is willing to be pretty honest and naked while doing it too...that is part of why i love serving him.

PS i hope your healing is going well, cant wait to pony with you, my new tack Lee got me was debuted in beat me in st louis last month and it was yum! :) ill post pics soon.

Like "SlaveMaster " from vegas


I get such great "big brother" energy from SlaveMaster! (Big brother as in relationship, not as in the government is watching). He's one of my gurus. But then, I was a Butchmanns junkie before I became part of the faculty, so that goes without sayin'.

I'm at a place where I'm wanting more edge play stuff...I've actually been thinking about plebotamy training and such. Things that draw blood draw me.

Actually, what would you all think about a science class? The science behind BDSM? How the crack of the whip is breaking the sound barrier...why one flogger or paddle feels different than another...that sort of thing.

Asherdelampyr -> RE: What Type of classes would you like to see? (6/14/2008 1:06:42 AM)

that could be cool




untndedrosegardn -> RE: What Type of classes would you like to see? (6/14/2008 1:17:27 AM)

This may sound like an odd no brainer one, but a class in Anatomy for BDSM.
A class on a simple and fast fun way to quickly evaluate a persons body type, boney landmarks etc, (as not every body type/size has them in the exact same place) that could help limit even the most unintentional misses. 
Having certain places myself that through bodywork classes the instructor noted were not quite average, I thought this could be aninteresting technique people might be interested in learning.

I love this idea! I think there's a lot of misinformation running around and it would be good to have it factually spelled out.

One of the things I most often want to see is an in-depth class on building strong relationships.  Not relationship 101, not a one-true-way, but information that gets well beneath the surface. 

Some of my favorite relationship classes are the ones that are more of a discussion group than a lecture.  I think it is the type of class that is really suited to hearing multiple people's perspective on how they make things work.

Knight's Kyra


The Master/slave conference in DC is mostly classes geared toward relationships and communicating within the M/s dynamic.  Less classes on "here's how to swing a flogger" more on the this is what to do to make this lifestyle work for you.

The sound barrier thing crosses the line into trivia for me, but why one flogger/paddle is different from another (and how) would be good...the "wood for paddles" thread under Gear that went on the other day was excellent along those lines.

I had given this idea some thought in the past. It would be good for the newer Tops who are not really familiar with personal impact type play.
One could use three distinct body style bottoms as demonstration models . Large/medium and small of either sexual persuasion. Have them all wear white t-shirts for ease of demonstration. One could mark out the different zones on their upper bodies with different colored markers as a visual display on where the differing levels of danger zones are as well as the safe areas . For example, marking the area around the kidneys and maybe even the spine in red.  Marking intermediate areas such as the tailbone and lower parts of the neck in orange... and of course the shoulders and top of the butt in green. The same could be done for the front of the body. The zones would be noticeably different with each person as the bottoms with smaller body types have more defined areas that need to be avoided while the same couldn't be applied for the person on the opposite end of the spectrum. You would be surprised how many people really don't understand about the potential danger zones on a human body when it comes to certain types of impact play especially when the harder and heavier toys like paddles and heavier canes are used.

LOVE it. And actually think it's not a bad idea at all to suggest that everyone do this with their partners in the same way that we talk about limits and such...

What classes would you like to see/attend:

and While i'm always up for learning and honing physical skills I ask that you be creative:
for example: Intro to Rope 101 is great... Rope Ties for escape artists is better!

O, he he.  Read the Op title and thought 'gee, i'd like to take yoga classes', lol.
 
You mean 'classes on D/s topics', correct?
 
Please bear with me, as i need to ask a few questions too.
 
By 'class' do You mean 'demo'?
 
Do D/s groups ever offer topics that are not directly related to play?  For example, are classes ever offered on Safety Protocols or Finding Y/yr proper 'place' in D/s?
 
i guess if all classes are demos, and all demos are on play topics only, i'd be interested in learning more about:
 
Bondage -- light vs heavy; chains, leather or rope, using s'thing besides a bed -- like a piece of bondage furniture or a tree in a private outdoor setting.
 
'Sensation Play' -- assuming i understand what this means.  Things like cupping, tickle torture, ice, etc.
 
i hope this helps.

untndedrosegardn -> RE: What Type of classes would you like to see? (6/14/2008 12:09:50 PM)

Cruel and D.Jenny, Thank you.  What made this idea come up was I am studying for my LMT, and we learned some VERY simple landmark identification movements that you can do the whole body in less than 5 minutes.  From watching many people and various styles in detail, overthe recent months I saw how easily things could have been prevented in my past.  Especially with anyone with a slightly larger frame to a much larger frame. Some of the most common wones are the top and lateral sides of the pelvic bones. Especially on women. they go up a lot higher than many people realize. Same with tailbones. Wider in women than in men, etc. There are also good aspects from A&P information that could be worked into any type of play.  I'm a firm believer in that often,even the experts(of which I'm not) will admit they dont know absolutely everything and they still learn something new all the time. I try to look at everything as a learning opportunity.




Lynnxz -> RE: What Type of classes would you like to see? (6/14/2008 12:22:58 PM)

Thinking back to an older thread, I'd want to attend a "deep impact" class.. or body punching.. or whatever it's called. There was a class last month I think, but I missed it due to work. -.-

LOVE the idea of the anatomy class, but can't help but think that the people that need it most wouldn't attend.  When I do the pro subbie thing, every once in a while I'll have to stop the scene and point out that my butt does not extend halfway up my back, and if we could please refrain from smacking at my kidneys with a fricking breadboard, that would be amazing.

And the hands on needle class? Already had that in the army...they showed us once how to do an IV on a dummy.. then handed us handfulls of needles and saline bags, and told us to find a buddy. ^_^  Was a lot of fun actually, and pretty effective.

*Mild Hijack*
As far as the sound barrier thing goes... I heard that once the whip *cracks* it's expended most of its energy, and won't hit as hard when it lands... true?

*Edited because I got all excited about this topic*




CruelDesires -> RE: What Type of classes would you like to see? (6/14/2008 1:28:40 PM)

Yes. When you throw a whip it creates a U or looped shape. The crack occurs when the popper changes direction suddenly at the end of that loop. That is when most of the energy is expended and creates that "gun shot" noise. Keep in mind that you can still raise welts with the whip even after the crack occurs.

I'm sure groups do things differently around the world especially depending on the size of the group and location and such.

while I use class as any situation where you are gathering in order to learn something.

I will speak of TES only b/c its the largest group in my area and the one i'm involved most with(though I do make it to many other group events and lessons when I can)

generally there are seminars and workshops.

workshops are almost always hands on Techniques... ropes and whips being the two most common categories(each workshop will usually have a different focus... like "rope ties for sex" or "rope techniques to thwart an escape artist" etc etc.

Seminars: can be a simple class, a demonstration(w/ or w/o audience participation)
or sometimes a Q&A with one or more people(sometimes refered to as a panel)

Sometimes the seminars take more of a Roundtable approach where the class is VERY interactive hoping to hear as much input and oppinion from the audience as they get questions....

*************************

so with all that said: not all classes are Demos...There are many different formats to a class. take your pick...  

Yes I have seen classes on "protocol" it spent a good amount of time differentiating between courtesy, Respect, decorum, and Protocol... then the class went on to talk about "protocol" within the individual relationships. and why living in a HIGH protocol 24/7 long term, while possible, is rather unrealistic... and how to set up different protocol levels so that everyone can live an happy healthy life together while still getting the most out of the relationship..

but what I love is that with these types of classes, the biggest thing they try to accomplish is OPENING your mind to different things you haven't thought of while fostering a healthy relationship. there is no one TWUE way...

Do you have a source of info for that that I could get a hold of? :)
