Caning for the Curious: An Introduction
Canes are delicate little things.
They're slender, lightweight, and deceptively simple. They are also amazingly intense - many people view them as a particularly "heavy" toy.
This workshop helps you deliver a caning scene. We'll discuss types of canes, types of strikes, where to hit, and safety considerations. We'll also discuss the softer skills required to manage your bottom's experience.
This class is full of demos and packed with technique. There's no "hands-on" component, so you don't need a practice partner or a cane to get full value from the class. The emphasis is on learning, having fun, and building confidence.
This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations. As with all of Max's workshops, there's a handout you can use as a memory aid when you're practicing at home.
The Tender Bits - Male and Female Genital Bondage
This workshop covers some particularly intimate, effective and sexy bondage techniques.
We'll start with the basics of immobilizing and tormenting boy-bits. There'll be a nice demo, information on cock and ball safety, and some thoughts on how to adapt the techniques to your own situation.
Next Max will present a variety of techniques for binding, displaying and stimulating girl-bits - the mons, inner and outer labia and clit. There'll be a demo for this portion too.
And then we'll all practice what we've learned, so bring your genitals and your friends with genitals.
Much of the class will consist of hands-on exercises to help you get familiar with the material in a friendly, low-pressure environment. The emphasis is on learning, having fun, and building confidence.
If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway - there'll be lots to watch, and we'll try to set you up with a practice partner. Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!
Loaner rope will be available, but bring (2) 15-20 foot pieces of 4mm rope if you can. Hemp is OK, but smooth synthetic line is best.
This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations. As with all of Max's workshops, there's a handout you can use as a memory aid when you're practicing at home.
Exploring Kink - Giving and Accepting Service
Many kinksters love the idea of service, but struggle to make it work. That's not surprising - giving and accepting service requires a different toolset than sensation-based S/M or power-based D/S.
This workshop helps tops receive service gracefully and helps bottoms who wish to offer service. It includes models for service relationships, specific techniques for defining and nurturing your service dynamic, and specific examples you can draw from as you build your service relationship.
This class is all "lecture" format, so there's no need to bring a partner or a toybag - just bring your interest and your questions. The emphasis is on learning and setting both partners up for success.
This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations. As with all of Max's workshops, there's a handout you can use as a memory aid when you're practicing at home.
Giving Good Head: Manipulating & Stimulating the Head, Hair and Face
The head and face are powerful, primal places.
Pulling someone's hair can put them into an almost trancelike state. Slapping their face can push them into a fierce, primal place. Holding their neck can generate a deep sense of contentment and submission.
Whether your intent is sensual or rough, the head, hair and face are deep, powerful sources of intimacy. Join us as we discuss and demonstrate ways to manipulate these wonderful parts of the anatomy.
