PRESENTATIONS

GOOD TO THE LAST DROP: A LASTING RELATIONSHIP

In this day and age of disposable relationships, how do we make our BDSM relationships last? When you look at most D/s relationships, few make it past the honeymoon phase and it is rare to see them past five or so years. This class will talk about the things that are found in lasting D/s relationships and the things to look out for and avoid. I have firsthand experience in long relationships, currently in three, one for 17 years, one for 11 years and one for almost 8 years. I also had a slave that had been with me for over 10 years and it ended amiably. I’ve also been in very short-term D/s relationships…some by choice but some because of my lack of knowledge that was needed at the time to sustain them. This class will not only teach you the tools to sustain long term relationships but help you to know what to do when the time comes for one to end.

ROLE PLAYING AND BDSM

Many of us that enjoy BDSM first had a realization of that enjoyment through role playing. We may not have been role playing ourselves but as we watched a show or cartoon or read a particular book, we transposed ourselves into the character that fit our orientation. The submissive always identified with the victim, perhaps that damsel in distress and the Dominant usually played the part of the villain or perhaps the heroine, that authority figure who was in control. In any case we played the parts if only in our minds and thus we enjoyed those experiences. As adolescents we enjoyed role playing and cowboys/cowgirls and Indians, doctor/nurse and patient, etc. became fun because we could tie up or be tied, examine or be examined and for hours we fulfilled our roles through fantasy. As adults, we find that taking on different roles for even a few hours relieves us from the stress and responsibility of every day life. Years ago Dungeons and Dragons became the craze because it gave you the ability to transform into someone else and live out fantasies and create alternate realities. Role playing is especially great for a newcomer who may be too intimidated to serve a Mistress but can be controlled by a nanny or given orders by a police officer. This workshop will teach you how to make the most out of your role playing scenes and what to do if one goes wrong. You will learn the things that you should be aware of and things to look out for. This workshop will take your role playing to a whole new level.
