I've noticed that a lot of the classes I take have extremely relevant BDSM skills.   I have decided to list them here, and ask others to add their own.  If you have actually taken the class, please Bold and Underline the class name.   After you list the class name, please describe who  you think will benefit from it.  If you would simply like to take the class, but have not done so yet, Underline the class but don't bold it.

First Aid  This class is great for many people, but it is essential for any Dominant involved with edge play.  People that enjoy knife play, needles, bondage, breath control, wax play, and mummification (ace bandages). 

Improv classes  This class is great for anyone that likes role playing.   A key lesson is called "Yes And".  What a wonderful word. 

Aerial/Silk Gymnastics/Acrobatics  Harder to find then those above, it is offered NY Circus Arts Academy.   Basically, this class teaches you how to do solo suspensions, from the submissive side  If you like Suspension, this is basically masturbation.  WARNING.  This class is a hard work out.  It is not easy.  But it will get you in shape. Almost all of the participants will be young, pretty women that can do amazing things with their bodies.  I however am a 40 year old man who can't touch his toes and I can barely do this class.

Life/Body Casting  Another hard one to fine.  Offered by Complete Sculptor in NYC.  Great for those that like mummification - from either the top or the bottom.  Among other things, this will teach you how to put plaster of paris on someone, completely covering the head but allowing them to breathe.

Video Camera classes  Perfect for the non-hidden voyeur.  Do you want to make your own personal kinky movies that actually sound and look GOOD, rather than the crappy, shaky home videos most people make?   Take this class.  Note, this is generally NOT helpful for those with a more criminal/hidden camera bent.  The class teaches you how to do things with large pieces of equiptment, and actual directing, not how to plant hidden cameras.

Dog training classes. I suspect that people who enjoy owning a pet will enjoy this class.

Yoga--Over time, as flexibility increases it makes holding certain uncomfortable poses for long periods of time much easier. My experience is mostly with bikram (hot room), and there's one position called bow pose which is essentially a hogtie without the ropes. At my peak, after only going for a few months about 3 times a week, I could touch my forehead to the floor standing up (my legs are short, so that helped). Plus, it's a great workout.

  1. College level English: learning to read and write clearly and concisely teaches a slave to think and talk clearly and concisely. Communicating what you want and what you have to offer in a personal ad, writing up a contract between yourself and a Keeper, or merely making a “to-do” list all require writing skills. Also learning to get your thoughts and ideas on paper can help you sort out what is going on in your mind and in your life. Some types of slavery will require the ability to write pornography, or at least keep a record of the sexual contact of the slave, Keeper, or both.
  2. College level math: learning to add and subtract is just part of it. Math is a way of breaking a big thing, like serving your Keeper, into steps, like the tasks that serve your Keeper in particular ways. It also helps to develop the sense of cause and effect, making you able to be more proactive. Math has an added sexual advantage. Doing the homework can be good practice time for things like wearing a corset, ballet shoes, or butt plug.
  3. Survey of art history: Sounds like an odd one doesn’t it? Well it makes good sense to learn about different forms of beauty and grace and sex as seen through time and cultures. If a slave has never seen a statue, how will s/he know how to pose like one? Art is a very sensual, tactile experience and learning to see beauty and experience its visceral power will help you see it in other things and experience your life more fully. It also helps to understand different ideas of beauty and power. It teaches the interconnectedness of world cultures, and their views of sexuality. For a historical of slavery, this is a great class to learn about the various types and styles of slaves in the past and what was done to them.
  4. World Civilization: World Civilization classes tend to teach power structures, history, and the role of art (sex, religion, and social norms), in other cultures. World history helps you understand other people see and value different ideas. This will help you understand your Keeper's background, life goals, and training faster and easier. It also helps you see how there can be more than one right answer to a question and more than one way to look at a problem. Plus, it is neat to know how far back and in what ways we, as humans, have looked at sex as something more than procreation. This class can teach you about historical slavery and what the old rules, styles of dress, and modes of activity were. That might give you masturbatory material and ideas about what you want in your life as a slave.
  5. Ballet or Jazz: as a slave training course ballet, jazz, or modern dance just makes good sense. It teaches you to be flexible, gets you toned up, strengthens your muscles, and teaches to move through the pain. It also teaches grace and good posture. It can help with self-esteem and self-worth. It’s also a nice to place see different bodies and how they move, a sexy and fun thing, like a strip club with good lighting and no over-priced drinks.
  6. Weight lifting: This is good training for the repetitive and difficult things that so many Keepers will want. As well as toning the body and helping the future slave learn self discipline and endurance, it is good for your bones. Again, it can help with self-esteem and self-worth and seeing the difference between where you started and where you are at the end of the class can be amazing. It also teaches that pain happens and helps you learn where your actual physical limits are. Imagine being surrounded by strong, hard bodied people telling you what to…
  7. Yoga: This is good for in making your body more flexible and responsive. Learning to get the knots out of your muscles after a long night and basic meditation are good and useful skills. Also you learn how to sit still without getting cramps in your legs. It can also be a good introduction to Tantric sex which may be really helpful in your future.
  8. Basic nutrition: Even if you have NO interest in being a house slave, you still need to unlearn bad food habits and learn good ones. This teaches you to let go of ideas that you grew up with and adopt new ideas. Also, it teaches a kind of practical logic where math teaches a more theoretic logic. You need to learn how to make sure your body is getting enough nutrients and calories for the level of activity in your life. This may also give you ideas about what can and can’t be safely used as a non-conventional sex toys as well as an appreciation of the sensuality of taste and texture. If you do want to be a house slave, start here and take more classes on cookery and domestic science.
  9. Basic anatomy: If you have any interest in being tied up or beaten or fucked silly, wouldn’t it be good to know where the ropes can be tied, the whip can be applied, and what body systems are involved? Wouldn’t it be neat to know where nerve bundles are so you know where to touch or not touch your Keeper? Also for the sex slave it helps to see the body as just that, a body with no emotional context. This makes it easier to see each body you fuck in future as unique and "good". It can be a hard class, but it teaches some very important practical knowledge. Knowing how a penis works and how labia are put together will certainly come in handy in sexual slavery.
  10. Basic psychology: learning how a brain works is like learning basic anatomy. This class will also teach you see behavior patterns, learn something about conditioning, punishment, and maybe even a little about yourself. It can also teach you to be more honest about your moods and issues, which will help your Keeper work with, through, or around them. You can participate more fully in any conditioning, training, or reinforcement system if you understand what and how the system works. This class offers masturbatory material for those with a desire to be mentally manipulated.
  11. Basic bookkeeping: This is an applied logic class. It is a good skill to have and allows you to practice doing something repetitive. This class, or its homework, is also a good time to practice physical endurance or posture or body-shaping like basic math.
  12. Basic time management/ study skills: This is a good one because most people don’t really know how to budget their time. When you are a slave, no matter what kind, you will need learn new things quickly and how to not waste your Keeper’s time. This is usually a short class offered for freshmen and it usually focuses on student skills and things like the location of the library and the tutor center, but if you pay attention and look past the details you get some useful knowledge about how much time to set aside for tasks how to priorities tasks, and how to find new information.
  13. Basic speech/communications: clear, concise, and complete communication is vital for a slave-Keeper relationship. This class can teach you skills for learning to ask good questions and to answer questions clearly. It can help you understand and adapt to others ways of speaking. It will also help you talk about sex and slavery. It might even help with small talk, both in the vanilla world and the not so vanilla world. Learning to speak to your Keeper the way that your Keeper wants you to speak is easier if you already understand something about language.
  14. Basic sociology: This class teaches other ways of looking at the world that will help you adjust and adapt to your Keeper's way of seeing the world. Also, it will help you understand group dynamics (orgy issues, munches, play parties, ‘Holidays with the Vanilla Family’ etc) and interpersonal dynamics (household slaves politics, munches, and ways of seeing your own actions and reactions. It how individuals interact with the world. Often as part of this class there is some talk of sexuality and some talk of personality types. These can be both useful and fun.
  15. Survey of film/dance: This class offers another look how people interact. It also will help you understand visual stimuli. It can also tech you about people and situations that you want to avoid, like drama queens and people addicted to getting attention, no matter what the cost. In a sense, this class can be a cautionary tale about what not to be and how not to act. It can also give you a deeper appreciation of pornographic movies and art forms.
  16. Basic philosophy: Philosophy is another theory of logic class that will help you see patterns, understand other people's belief structures, and help you internalize "because I said so" as a meaningful, logical, reason to do things. It teaches systems of understanding personal and interpersonal interactions. It might help you decide what sort of context you want, desire and need in your life. It might even help you codify your desire to be owned and used by a Keeper.
  17. Early childhood development: This teaches you something about how humans learn things. It is also fun to get to be "childish" and gives you practice in letting down some social barriers. Also, it gives you practice is learning to adapt your speech to different audiences. If you are considering having children in future, it is also a good one to take for the practical knowledge of how to teach and interact with children.
  18. A hand’s on art class like pottery or drawing: A class like this improves hand-eye co-ordination in ways that video games never can. It lets you see how much work goes into "art" and teaches you to sit still at one long task for a long time with little visible reward teaching patience and perseverance. You may get to see nude or partially nude models and learn from them how they move, sit, and mediate. If you opt for the pottery class, you will learn how to shape, move, and manipulate clay. This also can be amazingly erotic, if your mind is on why, ultimately, you are taking this class.
  19. Intro to computers: Computers have become so much a part of everyday life that learning to use one is now as necessary as learning to drive a car or read. You never know when you will need to find a new recipe or a new bruise balm, a new booking agent, or write an invitation or apology letter. For some slaves, a computer will be your main point of external contact with people and information. For some slaves computer usage may never be an issue. Regardless of what kind of slave you are aiming to be, it is still a good, basic skill to learn. And it makes online porn, dating sites, and erotica easier as to find and use.
  20. *** Hard to get class*** A real sexual education class that talks about anatomy, safety, and types of sex. There are some good sociology classes out there and you can go to seminars and talks at adult shops or from adult associations. If you can’t find one in your community, you can, after that computer class, read up on it from some of the institutes for sexology on the internet.
  21. *** Hard to get class*** A shop/construction/physical engineering class of some sort that teaches about materials, chemicals, how to make things, the joys of sandpaper, and gets you used to being yelled at and dealing with taciturn people. Some colleges offer them as art classes, some as vocational classes. Most Junior colleges offer classes on car repair at least and some of the larger home repair chains offer classes in making or building things. You may be called upon to help build a dog run, dungeon, bondage bed, or even bookcase for your Keeper.

I am quoting myself from a list of classes and concepts from a book i keep meaning to proof read and send out. I have all these also broken down into non-scholastic methods of learning for people that don't 'do' classroom time for whatever reason. As you can see, my list focuses on the submissive or slave reason, but I would argue that the same classes have merit for Ds and Ms as well.

If you want my list of other ways to get this same kind of education without paying for college, cmail me and i will happily send it to you.

That is a very comprehensive list of classes and skills that would benefit most anyone.  Nice work, fey de plume.

Depending on the College, it is also about enough to get a A.A. or an A.S. depending on focus of classes. And having a piece of paper that says you know stuff helps you get better paying jobs, so there is an added bonus.

Welding:  Metal Inert Gas (MIG wire feed), Tungsten Inert Gas(TIG), or Stick Electrode Arc welding can come in handy when building various metal items, ranging from welding shut a simple butted ring to building a full suspension frame or an entire bed or cage with restraint points.  Possibilities are as limitless as your materials and tools budget.  Courses range from a one day refresher to a a 3 day hobbyist course and two to eight week career preparation courses.

Technical Drawing:  Allows you to draw up and modify plans for all kinds of projects, saving time and materials costs, as well as custom or semi custom fitting items for your sub or yourself.  Layout, orthographic, and exploded drawings, give you multiple angles to look for design flaws and estimate stresses.  I learned mine in a high school drafting course.

Religion classes: Multi-purpose, actually.  Lots of kinky stuff peppered throughout various religious traditions and also caters to those with a spiritual angle to their sexuality

Fey, every class you've listed would be helpful for dominants also. If a dominant cannot clearly express themself, explain exactly what they mean in language that is easily understood, then they need remedial English classes.
Same with math, if you want to control expenditures, you had better understand how to make a workable budget and be able to balance a checkbook. Basic psychology, how best to motivate different kinds of people, all things dominants would benefit enormously from.

Of the things listed, only some of the physical classes such as yoga could be viewed as solely beneficial for subs. But the truth is that if a dominant had to do these yoga postures and knew exactly how difficult they were to get into and maintain, he would be better in terms of what he was asking out of his sub.

In Mr. Miyagi's class, "Wax On, Wax Off" takes on a whole new meaning.

DES:
He or she would also be in better shape and have a system of mediation and visible, rigorous discipline so that they could be both D and role model to the s.

DK: Great point about religion! I was thinking world cultures and art history would cover that, but i think you are right that religious studies has serious merit. Thanks for the idea
