Kicking off our day of Fun will be …

Dan & Dawn

They will be presenting for us….

Sensual Humilation/Slutty Sex for Real Relationships …

Through exercises and demonstrations, they will explore using humiliation play to assist participants in finding and releasing your inner slut. They will discuss getting started, approaching and being in tune with the scene, and slut play related aftercare. "This is not the 'you are a fat pig so fuck me while I spit on you' style (which can be fun and many find erotic)" said one attendee, "but instead a more subtle approach, one which draws the inner slut out - yet still clearly confronted with there desire and sluttish self".

AND

Living D/s

They will discuss what you can expect from a real time Dom/sub relationship. They will rely on their years of experience both as a contracted Ds couple of many years and also as leaders of a local Ds support group. They will cover different types of Ds (from Loving Ds to objectification models) and share how they and others have dealt with the challenges of moving from a fantasy to a working Ds household. Living D/s.

Continuing our fun enlightment will be …

Sir Barak and Brat Sheba

They will be presenting for us …

Un-conventional Consciousness …

Using the mind as your greatest toy – Mindfucks, Humor,
imagination in BDSM play Have a huge tool/toy box? That is nothing
compared to how many new sensations and energetics that can be accessed by opening up your mind. Ever seen a bottom with "bottom" written on their bottom? A Dominant in dillyboppers? A submissive in suspenders? A Top with a large wooden Lollipop? This is just the beginning of creating different types of scenes using various techniques designed to entice, enhance, enlighten, empower and elate Tops and bottoms within a scene. We will cover a good deal of possibilities for Role play, humor, the path of mindfucking, and tools for expanding your imagination.

AND to help kick off the play party …

BRAT PLAY
Do you want my submission? You can have it, if you can take it. ~
Brat energy can bring an increased level of connection and playfulness to a scene. Have you ever felt the need to incessantly poke the tiger? To pull their tail and see if you get a bite? Within this class, Brat Sheba will take you on the journey to discover, awaken, and learn to play with your inner Brat! We will discuss the elements and levels of Brat play including how to share your bratty desires with a Top from negotiations to aftercare, how it can incite the Top’s energy and creative sadism to higher levels, and how much fun and spontaneity it brings to a scene. We will also cover Bratting basics such as ecognizing Tops that love us, how do you know if you’re a Brat, and how to mix the Brat with other types of play. From the Top tandpoint, Sir Barak will share how Brats and SAMs differ, how to interact with a bratty bottom, and how to move into a more serious space. Time allowing, we will end with Brat Sheba taking all comers…poke poke (just kidding) – with a brief demo.

SIR BARAK and BRAT SHEBA

Barak is a wickedly perverted, poly, semi-het, sadistic quasi-Dom, who never takes himself too seriously. He has been presenting and formally teaching within the vanilla arena as a medical professional, safety officer and rights activist for over 15 years. He is currently exploring his blend of spirituality within his SM and getting more “personal” with his play, by taking it into his own hands, so to speak.
Sheba is a poly, bisexual, spoiled rotten slut. She enjoys being treated
like a princess and can be a royal Brat sometimes. She loves to play, but is also an activist, community leader, and educator. She has shared her knowledge and experience with groups and at events around the country.
Together they are the founding members of the ULICK (United
Leadership in Columbus Kink) group, and own Adventures in Sexuality
(AIS), the largest PanPolyBSDM group in Central Ohio. They have
founded local submissive, switch and dominant roundtables, a TNG
group, and an energy exploration group (Sinergy). Through AIS they are Coalition members of the NCSF (National Coalition for Sexual Freedom) and are active supporters of The Stonewall Center on High. Together they have authored numerous short stories and essays on Polyamory, Kink, and Sacred Sexuality, and present classes to Kink, Leather, and Vanilla audiences. They currently promote Pansexual BDSM Educational Events in Central Ohio - including the Central Ohio Perversion Excursion (C.O.P.E.) and Winter Wickedness.
