Are you just getting into pain play? Have you been doing S/M for a while but are interested in brushing up on your skills? Come to a workshop that will take you from zero to ouch in only four hours! In this workshop we will touch on everything you need to set up and move through S/M scenes: negotiation and consent, safety and hit zones, toys and types of pain, pain processing and the dynamic between top and bottom, among other subjects.

This class is for people interested in S/M topping or bottoming or both, and the presentation time will be fairly evenly split between top and bottom viewpoints and skills - Pepper is bringing in a number of pain bottoms to help present. There will be hands-on portions to the workshop, so if you can please bring a partner who can compliment you by either inflicting or receiving pain. If you cannot, we will probably be able to work something out.

Class from 2-6pm, doors open at 1:30pm
Cost: $40 at the door, $30 in advance
