When is a toy more than just a toy?

The idea is simple, you have just one toy... a single flogger, how will your scene unfold? Join us for a hands-on exploration as we peel apart the layers of a scene with only a single flogger in hand. We'll discuss the Anatomy of a Flogger from outside the box, sexy ways to Develop the Mind Fuck, Sensory Exploration, and how to build an incredibly intimate scene using one simple toy.The goal is to get away from the "pre-conceived" use of a specific type of toy, thus enhancing your skills and building your repertoire in creating memorable and enjoyable scenes. A toy is an extension of your body, your mind, your creativity, your emotions and most importantly a source of connection between you and your partner. A few of the specific areas of creative focus will be: 

• Scene Goals
• Exploring all 5 Senses
• Shafts & Butts, Beyond the Grip
• Outside the Box Techniques and Styles
• Scene Levels – Sensual to Brutal

This is an interactive class. We ask that you bring a flogger with you, we will also have some to share, and signing up with a partner is highly encouraged but not required. The leaders will walk through the various options and concepts of a scene using discussion, scenarios, and brainstorming. You'll be allotted time to practice with your partner as well as hands-on opportunities to engage directly with the instructors.

INSTRUCTOR BIOS Grr_Bear has been an active member of the kink community for over 10 years, involved with numerous munches, events, and conventions. As a retired Neuropsychologist and lifelong educator, the power of the mind has been a central focus of his vanilla world and has become a core component of his kink play. Grr_Bear identifies as a Top, Dominant, and Sadist. He enjoys many aspects of kink including impact, fire play, sharps, blood play, hypnosis, electro, mind fucks, predicament play and his newly found love, barbed wire. At heart Grr_Bear sees himself as a sensual sadist. Grr_Bear believes that sensual does not have to be tender. Every scene is sensual, so matter how intense or even brutal, it's all about connection between him and his scene partner. He believes that the body is the gateway to the mind and the key to a connection within a scene.

MadEm, a sadistic vixen with a passion for kink and the community, is a natural switch with an affinity for edge play, laughter, and most anything taboo. For the past 10 years she has enjoyed organizing events, teaching, mentoring, and volunteering in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. MadEm skillfully tortures her partners with Impact, CBT, Confinement, Domestic Service, and Age play, but her inner Masochist makes no apologies for the way pain makes her purr. She has genuine interests in understanding what makes people tick, building trust through intimacy, and sharing a good cup of mindfuckery with like-minded kinksters.
