CLASS: Flirting Dirty (with Flirting Bingo!)

Location:  The Meadow

Many of us come to kink retreats for enlightenment — just kidding, I meant: to flirt, fuck, and play. But making it happen in real life can be a lot harder than we want it to be.

Do you wish more people would hit on you? How do you make yourself more available?

We can all use some practice asking for what we want, but how do you escalate from flirting to foreplay and foreplay to fucking? Learn to perfect the art of the tease, use negotiations as foreplay, and make sex even hotter in the process. We’ll play “flirting bingo,” have a chance to practice different flirting styles, and who knows?

You might even find somebody of interest.

CLASS: Hot Squirming Erotic Humiliation Play

Location:  The Meadow

Why do people get off on being embarrassed or humiliated? Is this a style of play you’ve struggled to understand or be understood? Do you want to understand how to do this well and avoid disasters? What are the potential psychological ramifications? What’s different for a one-time scene vs. playing with your life partner?

Emphasizing emotional safety throughout, Midori will explore a wide range of play from light teasing and embarrassment to serious humiliation.

What’s the difference between a healthy and constructive scene and one that is destructive and harmful?

She will share with you a unique model she’s developed to better understand and create an experience that is hot for all the players involved.

This is a lecture style class with discussions and visual examples.

There may be a live humiliation scene, or a demonstration of a live negotiation of a humiliation scene, as part of this learning experience.
