Western Rope Bondage
presented by MasterCosmic
Having been an active rigger since 2004 Cosmic is an advocate of a rope style that is more adaptive and inclusive than the Japanese styles which enables him to work with a greater range of people including comfortable suspensions for larger framed people to suspending people in their wheelchairs. He says ‘nothing is impossible, it just takes more planning and thinking. Rope is a tool to connect people and expand play rather limited only by the strength of your rope and the people you tie.’ The sessions are planned to get progressively more complex as the day goes on: to ensure you gain the most from the sessions please book for your appropriate skill level.

1PM – It’s all the thud
Do you like the dull smack of something thudding against your skin? Do you enjoy using fists, floggers or nightsticks to give your submissive a good time? John Pendal is back to look at all kinds of thuddy impact play. He will teach you how to identify the health risks possible in this type of play and how you can reduce or eliminate them. What are the best ways to maximise the endorphin rush that impact play inevitably brings and what sort of aftercare do you need to consider? These are some of the questions and issues that John will teach you in this “must see” class on thuddy impact play! Workshop JP1
3PM – The £4 Dungeon
Many people in the scene think that in order to enjoy great play you have to have lots of equipment, many expensive implements, and a well stocked dungeon in which to entertain your guests. In this class John will show you how you can have a great play scene with a budget of £4. From chili peppers to chopsticks – and from “ice sounds” to Mexican Hot sauce, he will inspire your imagination to create some of the most fun and entertaining scenes spending less money than most bars charge for a pint. So, if you want to get the most out of a very cheap date, then this is for you. Workshop JP2
5PM – How to block pain …. and how to break blocks
How and why do our bodies feel pain? Are there different kinds of pain? Why do some of us enjoy it so much, and what techniques do people use to process pain or block it completely? If you want a fun & knowledgeable introduction to pain management, share your own experiences of great scenes, or just want to see a John on the receiving end of some “thud” and “sting”, then this is the class for you. Workshop JP3
