Jack Stratton will be joining us to talk about the organization, so to speak, of KinkForAll, and to give a demonstration of its typical content by assembling presenters for three 20-minute presentations.

Rachel joins CV this week to give us an idea about bottoming for hypnosis.

Ever wonder what it’s like to be in trance? Have you found it a challenge to just relax and let go? Curious about all the sexy hallucinations you keep hearing about? Getting hypnotized is a skill that you can develop yourself, and no one is completely un-hypnotizable. This workshop is all about learning to stretch your mind and your imagination to places you never thought it could go!

Location: 316 Hamilton Hall

The first in a three part series! This first week, join us for the basics of topping for hypnosis – taught by Ben and demoed by Rachel. Next weeks: bottoming for hypnosis, brainwashing.

316 Hamilton Hall

Wendy Blackheart joins us this week for a class on massage. Not sensual massage, not ten gallons of scented oils and slippery dildos massage, but straight-up hard-core old-school MASSAGE: anatomy and the the ways to get out all those unfortunate kinks our difficult life of kink creates.

Location: 316 Hamilton Hall

In our ongoing streak of excellent luck, we’re out of a presenter for tomorrow night as of 5 PM this afternoon. A long story involving massage tables and Pennsylvania is to blame, but you can be heartened by the fact our complete lack of content will not prevent us from going forward with our meeting.

Food and sociability tomorrow night, 9 PM to 11 PM, in 316 Hamilton Hall on Columbia’s campus.

We will resume our regularly scheduled programming next week.

Corey Alexander joins CV once again.

Pushing Your Own Limits: Edgeplay from the Top
Bottoms are not the only ones that push their limits. This interactive workshop/discussion focuses on edgeplay that pushes tops out of our comfort zones. Whether you are a seasoned or newly exploring edgeplayer from the top, or want to support a top in pushing edges, this class is for you.

That right: whips. All of them, ever, tomorrow night. Who said CV isn’t ambitious?

Okay, maybe not all the whips. Maybe just some of them. A few of them. As many as Dov can get to during our two hour meeting.

This is a class geared to get anyone who has just bought a signal whip up and running with a good basic set of throwing skills to grow and develop with. We will be covering basic throws and how to string them together in to a complete throwing style, covering different types of strikes and techniques and working on your throwing form as time allows.

Halo Jones on tightlacing and corsettry.

Tightlacing for Beginners: types of corsets, fitting, corset cleaning and care, how to lace and tighten corsets, the experience of wearing a corset daily, and, of course, how to lace in a friend.

We’re joined by Rob for a look at menace.

Menace: Fear and Intimidation
How to scare the hell out of your bottom without actually hurting them. It will have a review of some techniques, a discussion, and demos. At no point would anyone actually be hurt, but expect a lot of safewords.

The first in a two part series, we’re joined by Sebastian for some good rope fun. Some rope will be provided by CV, but feel encouraged to bring your own if you have it.

Japanese Rope Bondage
Shibari or Kinbaku is a form of rope bondage that involves intricate weaves and few knots. The goal is not just to immobilize or restrain the bottom, but to cause pleasure or pain using only rope (well – mostly rope). We’ll go over the simple knots and wraps that form the basis for most Shibari/Kinbaku ties, discuss the principles of the style, and practice several of the most common forms. Bring rope! This is the first class of a two part series on rope bondage. You need not attend this class in order to attend the other, or vice versa.
