CV presents: Who Else Wants More Play and Less Stress In the Dungeon? A special presentation from Maymay

Who Else Wants More Play and Less Stress In the Dungeon?

For many, what begins as an exciting adventure into the world of BDSM can become a painful process of navigating societal taboos, cultural prejudices, and unexpected forms of peer pressure.

Can girls only get attention when they dress sexy? Why do we see so many pro-dommes wearing collars (or “chokers”)? Can a top hold their own in jeans and a sweatshirt? Where are the guys in schoolboy costumes and kitty ears? Why are so many men silent when they bottom? How can you get people to stop interrupting you when you’re talking to friends at a party? And, really, what’s with all the men who ask to rub your feet?

Come talk about why some people almost always have a play date, learn a quick way to make people feel more comfortable at your party, and build loving kinky relationships you can be proud of.

About the presenter:

Over the last ten years, maymay has been traveling through regional BDSM Scenes ranging from New York City to San Francisco to Sydney, Australia talking about sex, relationships, and everything that they affect. Best known for his breakthrough MaleSubmissionArt.com project that re-imagines male submission by challenging stereotypes of D/s role and gender presentation, maymay is also a public intellectual who kinks hard on sex-positive social justice activism and sociopolitical critique; his idea of a perfect date is going to a protest march and then cuddling at home watching TEDTalks while leashed to the bed. :)

CV Meeting: Dirty Talk with Sinclair Sexsmith

Come join Sinclair Sexmith at our Talk Dirtier: How to Let Your Tongue Go workshop:

Talking dirty in the bedroom can be terrifying at first, but once you unlock your tongue, you’ll find yourself saying all sorts of delicious things! Come to this workshop and we’ll figure out what’s tying our tongues in the first place, what’s holding us back from being more free with our language in the bedroom, and what the heck we should say to enhance our sex and intensity our sensation. The brain is the biggest sex organ, after all, and the more we can turn on our minds, the better our experiences will be.

CV presents: Learning the Ropes with Erin Houdini

Erin Houdini’s Western Bondage workshops are flexible, gender-neutral, and tailored to the students attending. With her philosophy of beauty through function and restraint, she teaches a consistent system of concepts that can be applied to different positions and parts of the body, regardless of the size or shape of the bottom, making rope easier to learn while leaving room for students to develop their own ties and aesthetics.
In her 101 workshop, Erin introduces the basics of tying limbs, binding arms to the body, and hogties, giving students a solid rope foundation to build on. Bringing a partner is recommended but not necessary, as you’ll have the chance to pair up at the event, and you’re always welcome to borrow Erin’s rope.

About Erin:
She’s a rope mistress and escape artist, an understated yet striking young woman in the business of uniquely colored rope and restrictive restraint. A teacher by trade, she brings style and substance to her workshops all across the Northeast, striving to make rope bondage accessible and logical, yet still intuitive and artistic. From her bondage art and modeling to her articles on gender and sexuality, her work is showcased at fetlife.com/erinhoudini, and you can check out her ropes and lessons at www.erinhoudini.com. Don’t be afraid to say hi!

Communication. Everyone knows it’s a good idea. Doubly so in the kink, polyamorous and alternative sexualities communities. But we all seem to have different ideas about what good communication looks like. Sometimes that leads to hurt feelings. Sometime that leads to much bigger problems.

What do we need to communicate? How do we communicate better? How do we keep ourselves safe? How do we set boundaries?

Suz (hypnosquirrel) will be your moderator for this discussion.
