Workshop Descriptions
Session One
ElectroPlay, a Sideways View (with Roger of Shotgun Video)
Many of us have played with TENS units and Erostek boxes, but what about electro devices that
don't cost an arm and a leg? EBay is good for more than you think! Invite the local power
company to join your party....
Hit Me with Your Best Shot – Deep Impact Play (with Archer)
Put up your dukes and let’s get down to it…punching, hitting, kicking and other forms of deep
impact play. We’ll evaluate safety concerns, methods and materials, aftercare, and psychological
effects for the Top and bottom while providing various demonstrations and hands-on opportunities.
The $10 Dungeon – BDSM on a Budget (with Tawse)
Specialty fetish gear can be expensive, but fetish play is limited only by imagination. With a few
dollars in hand and an inventive nature, a fun play bag is still easy to assemble. Every demo of
this type is different because it describes the latest “finds,” and the latest collection of innocent
items perverted into other uses. So we’ll open up the latest “Tawse the Cheap Bastard” play bag
to show you some fun stuff and how to use it, and pass along a few hints about where you can find
more
Session Two
On the Edge of the Blade (with Frank Strona)
The lure of drawing blood has long been an attraction in both film and culture, more recently it’s
taken over the play spaces by storm. With proper training and some basic precautions, SM players
can learn to tap into the magic and mystique of blood, and take your play to a new level of
sensation and transformation. We’ll cover the use of various cutting instruments, including
blades, knives, and scalpels. We’ll describe cutting versus scarification, and survey safety
precautions, cutting techniques, equipment suggestions, design transfer, skin types, cutting depth,
and more.
So You Think You Can Flog? Beginning Training (with Master Sid)
For many in the BDSM lifestyle, flogging was one of the first scenes experienced and an ongoing
source of pleasure/pain in the dungeon. Whether you prefer to give or receive, a basic
understanding of principles and techniques can only enhance your enjoyment of this popular
activity. This hands-on class will explore how to flog, safety concerns, and more. So, bring your
implement and learn – either for the first time or honing your existing skills.
Can You Feel It? (with Tawse)
Tactile play is simple, spontaneous, and (excuse the pun) hands-on. Most everyone enjoys a good
massage, but not all can elevate a receptive touch into tactile play. Nor are there many BDSM
resources that sketch out the how and why. But that is what we will do at SITS 2009. With a
small supporting collection of simple items, good hands and a willingness to use them, and (most
importantly) the ability to “read” your play partner, tactile can even be used to bring someone
into an altered mental state.
The Power Submissive’s Perspective (with David N.)
This course explores the possibilities for submissives as community leaders and not just
community property. Many bias and misconceptions exist regarding the role of submissives in the
community with many newcomers accepting those views without question or full understanding of
the subtleties. The class will explore those ideas and their fallacies along with presenting viable
alternatives and possibilities for the submissive that yearns to serve the community as a leader. A
power submissive is not an embarrassment or liability for a group or community, but should be a
prized member to be treasured.
Session Three
CBT: Male Genital Torture (with Roger of Shotgun Video)
From Beginning to Advanced, for Pleasure or Torture, to Orgasm and Beyond... how to pleasure
and/or punish a guy with pain torture, that is safe, effective, creative, and relatively sane. We all
know that the right kind of pain is the best pleasure, but penis and testicle work require real
technique!
Florentine Flogging: Two Hands are Better than One (with Archer)
The name is based on an Italian sword and knife fighting style, but in this class, we’ll use floggers
to impart a continuous swirl of painful pleasure for the bottom and a rhythm induced headspace
for the Top. Join in this hands-on (and bottoms-on) workshop to learn the techniques of double
handed six count flogging. Attendees will need to bring two floggers as closely matched in length
and weight as possible.
The Joy of Fellatio (with David N.)
Whether you call it giving head, licking the lollipop, or going down…its all fellatio. Come spend
some time learning about the finer points of this popular and fun activity. Though taking a light
hearted approach (how serious can you be when discussing blow jobs), there will be much useful
information that you will be able to use the next time the need arises. The possibilities are only
limited by your imagination (and maybe your throat).
Session Four
All Tied Up and Nowhere to Go (with Tawse)
Being “tied-up” is a pervasive theme in our popular culture, and a more intense theme in BDSM
for similar underlying reasons. Bondage symbolizes unequal access to power; the rope restrains
the oppressed, and protects the oppressor. Maybe the heroic victim wriggles free of the ropes and
escapes to take revenge. Or, maybe the victim reaches the “end of the rope.” BDSM bondage
symbolizes the unequal application of power and sexual play granted by the players, and carries a
significant mental element of “coerced permission” from the sub. To attain that state of coercion,
bondage with ropes is common, fun and easy, and I’ll show you a few tricks for bondage with latex
and elastic too. No knot-tying expertise needed.
Hot Time in the Dungeon Tonight! Waxplay (with Master Sid)
Hot Waxplay ranks right up there as one of the most potentially sensuous and/or painful scenes in
the dungeon. A great many factors can affect how it plays out. Come learn the ins and outs, drips
and drops of paraffin, beeswax, and more as we explore the world of Hot Waxplay. Come “stop the
world and melt with you”.
Journey to Your Anus (with Frank Strona)
Whether you call it fisting, butt play, anal-digital manipulation or prostrate massage - an asshole
can be a place of great pleasure. Join our presenter, as he explores the techniques to greater
pleasure both on your own and with a partner. Cleansing, relaxation and stretching exercise
techniques as well as the basic anatomy of the rectum and prostate will be discussed and some may
be demonstrated. This is a great place to get your answers around your ass that people assume you
already know.
Session Five
It Only Takes a Spark: Fireplay with Flash! (with Archer)
The primal nature of flames and the collective unconscious fear of fire means that fireplay can tap
into very strong emotional and psychological reactions. This is a hot topic that also includes demos
of seldom seen sparkler play, devils fire, and fire cupping. Safety and hazard issues are covered.
Hands-on experiences, some free paraphernalia and explanatory handouts are offered.
Home Taping your own Porn Movies (with Roger of Shotgun Video)
Come learn of some things that work when writing, lighting, directing, editing, and selling your X-
Rated entertainment. Come with your own questions, solutions, disasters, and suggestions for
being the Next Great Directahh....
Whose Been a Bad Boy? Spanking (with Master Sid)
Corporal Punishment, or Spanking, often harkens back to one’s childhood when you were a bad,
bad boy. For some, the thrill of getting caught and punished was the beginning of a BDSM
journey. This class will examine this treasured activity by looking at techniques and various
scenarios. Spanking can be so more than a slap on the ass!
Shape Up! Sexual Health Boot Camp (with Frank Strona)
So…you stuck your dick or hand in, or maybe your opened your mouth, ass, or pussy for some fun
lately? Did you have a good time? I hope so. Good sex is supposed to be fun. But…have you
thought about what you might have exposed yourself to? Having sex with multiple partners (and
that means one of you has more than one) can expose you to a variety of STD’s that in many cases
do not have symptoms. Join us for a casual forum on how we can best incorporate sexual health
and routine STD screening to keep us safe from that unexpected stinging and burning. Gay,
Straight, Male, Female, or Trans – we are all at risk for something. Learn how to evaluate your
risks and plan accordingly to reduce them.
