Spring In The South 2010
Schedule


Bondage Without Ropes - Sir Dale
    We all know about the trusty handcuffs, chains and things, but lets take a stroll through the
    woodshed and see what our devious minds can dig up.  Things you may have thought of and
    some you may have not.  Let's crank up our fun, pump up some excitement and see what
    sprouts.  You will never look at your garden fixtures the same way again! A handyman's
    nightmare or perhaps...wet dream!

Caning - Master David Merrill
    We will discuss the many types of canes which are available, how to care for them, and how
    to use them safely. We will learn several techniques that will maximize the fun you have
    playing with them

Cock and Ball Torture - Roger Leighton of Shotgun Video
    -or how to have someone’s COMPLETE attention! Whether it’s pulling, pressure,
    percussion, electricity, wax, or any of a number of other categories of... stimulation...or real
    torture...., when you’ve got ‘em by the balls, you’ve got power. Genital torture requires a
    variety of techniques that are teachable, learnable, and today, physically demonstrable.  How
    to make it hurt good, and otherwise, safely, relatively sanely, and still have them beg for
    more...or really beg for less....yet still be on time for dinner.

Cruising for SM Partners - Roger Leighton of Shotgun Video
    This is a group discussion about how the Top or bottom with a taste for variety finds play
    partners in the modern world. Why is it some people always seem to find new partners and
    others do not? Just how good can it get when you learn what you're doing?  Although Roger
    has a number of ideas and strategies about modern hunter-gathering for other sexual
    adventurers in a world of straights and squares,  please bring your own techniques, thoughts
    and questions. What works for you? What trips you up?  How to be the very model of the
    modern sex maniac!

Erotic Hypnosis: A Guide to sexual healing - Lady D
    All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Learn what hypnosis is and how it can be used. This workshop
    will teach you about the misconceptions of hypnosis and show you how you can use it to
    change habits, create healing and experience growth. We all have issues concerning sex
    whether from negative beliefs, family or religion, etc. Understand that your mind is your
    most powerful sex organ and you can use it to take control of your life. Use hypnosis to
    achieve a healthy sex life. By learning to heal ourselves, we will ultimately experience
    greater pleasure with our partners and a greater peace and happiness within us.


Fire Play - Southern Heat, Come on Baby Light My Fire- Reggie Harris
    This will be a practical application of fire and heat as both sensual and erotic play.  Through
    the use of demonstrations, I will show how fire can be used alone or in conjunction with
    other scenes to create headspace for both the Dom and submissive.  I will concentrate more
    on the shared aspect of Fireplay.  Safety, technique and implements will be shared.  I will
    also instruct the class on how to play on a budget.  

Flogging, Basic - Arcane
    This course will cover the basics of floggers and how to get the most use out of them.  
    Included topics will be: ties and construction methods of floggers, care for floggers, safety -
    for both top and bottom, and of course the techniques for exploring the full dynamic range of
    sensation a flogger is capable of producing.  There will be some 'practice' time space
    permitting so please bring a flogger.

Flogging, Florentine - Arcane
    'Florentine Flogging', or 'Double Flogging' as it is more commonly called, is the art of using
    two floggers at the same time, one in either hand. In this course we will learn two different
    patterns of varying complexity. The idea is to take home a new skill, so this will be hands on
    class. If possible please bring either two fairly well matched floggers, or a limited amount of
    "trainer floggers" will be available for use. You have to come to class to see what a "trainer
    flogger" is. If you have any questions contact arcane at arcane@arcanesattic.com.

Hot Wax Mummification - "Wrapping it up" - Pamm
    This class takes the techniques learned in the mummification and wax play courses and adds
    in sensual knife play to create a unique hands on experience.  
    The course will cover negotiation, safety aspects and techniques learned during the Spring in
    the South weekend.  There will be plastic wrap, knives,   CBT, nipple torture, paraffin wax,
    abrasion and a host of other sensations. All will come together to produce an incredibly
    sensual scene. Participants will be invited to offer suggestions and interact throughout the
    session.

Information Extraction (Water Techniques) - Matt Blair
    We will be taking a non-political/non-partisan look at the practice of "information extraction
    using water techniques". We’ll cover its history and different techniques and explain exactly
    what "information extraction using water techniques" is and isn’t.
         Is it torture? Find out, volunteers are encouraged to participate.
          "His sufferings must be that of a man who is drowning, but cannot drown." -
           Lt. Grover Flint, Philippine-American War


Interrogation, Basic - Sir Dale
    Welcome to a very stimulating type of play.  If your tired of the same old thing and want to
    add some life to your play, try an interrogation scene!  It's definitely not your normal
    Saturday night "strip and whip" session.  Learn the Do's and Dont's, things to watch out for
    and things you would not normally encounter in other formats.  
    Come see Sir Dale get the information he requires from even the most stubborn person.  
    Watch them bend and break under his experienced hands.  It's all about the mind. Getting
    in and then stirring it up.  
    Question and answer with Sir Dale to follow after demo.  Come early to get a good seat.  The
    room usually fills quickly.

    In this session, one will explore the definition of massage, pleasure and transformation. One
    will also have the opportunity to learn about the benefits of massage, a brief overview of the
    human anatomy and observe a simple sensual massage routine. The differences between
    energetic (no touch), light touch (Swedish), therapeutic (deep tissue) and sports massages

    explore the definition of pain, pain threshold, end-feel and damage. One will identify
    endangerment zones, contraindications, typical ranges of motion, non-verbal stopping cues
    (e.g. not injuring the receiver) and key factors in good body mechanics, simple tools and
    techniques (e.g. not injuring the giver). Question and answer period to follow the
    demonstration. Volunteers encouraged.

Mind Control - Lady D
    Control the mind and you control the body. Learn that the best sex organ that we have is
    our mind and what a man thinks is what he becomes. Understand that playing inside
    someone’s head can be fun and exciting but it comes with great responsibilities and if done
    incorrectly, it can come with great consequence. If you are going to walk around in
    someone’s head; you had better learn to do it safely and make sure that when you have
    finished, their brain is not turned into mush. This class will help you to become the master
    of the mind fuck.

Mummification - Lady D
    Mummification is a special type of bondage that encases the person making them feel totally
    enclosed, safe and vulnerable. Learn some of the many things that you can use to mummify
    someone and learn safety tips. We will discuss the psychological aspects that accompany the
    physical ones. If you enjoy bondage, this class will help you to take it to another level.

Needle Play - Sir David Merrill
    No amount of impact play creates the same kind of euphoric, endorphin-driven rush that
    needles do. This workshop will explore various ways to play with needles, from the basic to
    the advanced. Due to the potential risks involved, issues will be emphasized throughout.

Urethral Play - Rudi
    You want to insert what in where!! Ok! Let’s talk about what you can insert into the urethra
    of the male cock. This class will deal with the safe and sterile way to play with Sounds,
    Dilators and Catheters. What is the anatomy of the male genital. How to keep your play
    space clean for urethral play. What you can and cannot insert down that hole at the end of
    the male cock. We will examine the different types of Sounds and Dilators and their sizing.  
    How far is too far and what happens when it will not come back out. What is a Catheter and
    what size do I need. Prep the area for insertion. How to insert your Catheter and inflate the
    balloon. What can you do once he has been Catheterized. Go over do's and don’ts for safe
    and sterile play with your toys.

Whipping for Beginners - Sir David Merrill
    Whipping is sometimes considered the epitome of SM play. This workshop will cover the
    basics of the whip itself and how to care for them, but will focus primarily on using them in
    SM play. Despite the whip's reputation as a tool that takes years of practice to master, which
    is true, it is possible to play with whips safely and effectively in much less time. After the
    workshop, I hope everyone who attends will be comfortable using some basic techniques in
    actual play
