Mindfuckery with Julie Spanx (Saturday 11:00am – 12:15pm)

• • There is nothing like a power exchange between players, right? How about creating a platform where you as a top can mess with your bottom so they are so worried that they could cum at any minute anticipating what you have in store for them? Submissives can reverse the energy by teasing and maniacally plotting a scene where the dominant is drawn into a fantasy with carefully chosen words and actions (with consent) which can help create a really hot scene for both. If you’re looking for creativity and heat to bring life back into your world, come to the class and let’s scheme away. Surprises guaranteed!

Spanking/Slapping (Saturday 10:00pm – 11:00pm)

Workshop

Sensual Spanking (Sunday 4:00-5:15pm)

• The often overlooked art of spanking tends to be seen as a quick act of foreplay, or a ‘handy’ means of punishment. Rarely do we see spanking as a complete scene in itself. I am happy to challenge that perspective, and show you how spanking can be sexy, powerful, erotic and above all FUN. This workshop will be suitable for players of all experience levels and all Leather orientations.
  During this workshop we will discuss various spanking styles and purposes, as well as how to negotiate a spanking scene. You will then get to enjoy some delicious demonstrations, and if you bring along a top or a bottom, perhaps even try your hand at spanking, or receiving a spanking, yourself! My goal is to have every participant leave with a love of sensual spanking as strong as mine. Bottoms up! 

Workshop

I Want My Mommy/Daddy: Dark and Chaste Age Play (Sunday 9:30am-10:45am)

• • Have you been curious about age play but something holds you back from actually exploring? How do we deal with the internalized stigma that’s abundant in our culture about age play? How do we protect ourselves from hurting each other when we externalize the internal, differently aged parts of ourselves? And what possibilities for connection, power exchange and healing exist in exploring chaste and dark age play alike? For their 75 minute workshop, midnight mayhem will guide participants through an exploration of: – Who are our inner differently aged parts of ourselves? – What brings us to age play? Why do it? – What stigmas do we fear? (And a practice to release them.) – What is the difference between littles and Adult Babies? – How do we negotiate an age play scene? – What happens when it’s part of your D/s dynamic? – How do we repair damage done (intentional and unintentional) when doing age play? – There will be a diaper changing LIVE DEMO for all to enjoy! – And end with an open Q&A

Trauma Informed Anticipatory Service (Saturday 1pm-2:15pm)

• • Service is a complex and sacred part of Power Exchange Dynamics. Anticipation and observation allow us to serve with skill, tact, and finesse. Well executed service can create the most delicious feelings in our relationships. However, as service providers it’s easy to burn ourselves out and needlessly suffer emotionally when attempting to Do All The Things. And when our self worth comes into play, things can get hairy and confusing. This workshop is for those on both sides of the slash. You may have heard: if it isn’t wanted, it isn’t service. This workshop will help participants clarify their intentions for both GIVING and RECEIVING service. We’ll explore: – Why are we drawn to service? – What role does relationship attachment style play in our service dynamics? – What does love have to do with service? – Practical tools for enhancing service and personal organization – Observation and communication techniques for creating a magic feeling of anticipatory service – Communication techniques for expressing what you need and desire – Discussion of internal vs. external validation as it pertains to performing acts of service – And end with an open Q&A

    This class will have a live demo and will show and discuss the power over dynamics that are involved in this type of play. Discussion will also include the necessity of honest and in-depth negotiation beforehand, the use of role playing (FUN!) and the importance of after care after such scenes.

Three is never a crowd: Co-topping for beginners! (Friday 11:00am – 12:15pm)

• • Learn why three is never a crowd! Xris Morgan and Tee are two leatherdykes from Tkaranto (aka Toronto) who have years of experience co-topping together. In this interactive workshop, you will learn some of the key elements that have served us well to create wonderful and hot scenes. We will talk about the benefits of co-topping: Double the creativity, the energy, the toys, and the play experience. It’s also double the attention for the bottom. For those of us with disabilities, injuries, and/or who deal with fatigue, co-topping is a great way to add longevity, stamina, and energy to a scene. We also will help you consider some of the challenges in co-topping, such as how to share control as tops, and how to remain focused on the bottom, who after all, is the star of this scene! Co-topping is a great opportunity for mentees to be brought into a scene and build confidence, or for dyads to bring an extra person into their scene. We will talk about how to negotiate, set limits, ensure enthusiastic consent (RAC), safe words, and aftercare. And don’t worry; we won’t just be talking! We will have a live demo to show you just how we add a third to this butch sandwich!
