About the event
Breathing (and not breathing) is SEXY! Most of the time, we don't even think about the function that keeps us alive. But what happens when you turn the very act of breathing into an intentional activity that enhances kink and deepens connection? There are many ways to play with breath, control, and restriction - from sensual to sadistic. We'll explore the art, science, and safety of breathplay in this informative playshop!
What We’ll Explore:
🌬️ Breathhold Basics: Uncover surprising insights about breathing - something you do every day but rarely think about.
⚠️ Safety First!: Dive into the essential do’s and don’ts of breathplay, focusing on safety practices that aren’t widely known but are critical. Learn how to perform a "rescue" in case of black-out.
🛠️ Breathplay Techniques: Learn creative approaches beyond the usual methods, opening up new ways to incorporate breath into your scenes.
🌀 Influencing the Nervous System: Discover how to use inhalation & exhalation intentionally to affect your partner’s state.
🎭 Example Scenes: Get inspired by creative examples to spark ideas for incorporating breathplay into your kink dynamics.
🫁 BreathPlay Toys: During Play & Practice time, experiment with fun breathplay gadgets! Feel free to bring your own.
Workshop
- Feel Free to Take Notes! If it helps you learn, we encourage you to bring a notepad to jot notes and reflections
- Interactions: The Workshop may include personal reflections, interactive demonstrations, and practical exercises. This may include solo/partner/group activities. Participate and opt-in to the extent of your comfort - you can also just sit back at any time and observe others!
- Come Alone or With Someone! Arrive solo or with others—friends, coworkers, or your entire polycule! You'll have the opportunity to interact with others, switch partners, and practice with both familiar and new faces. We don't pair people up; engage at your own comfort level. Couples can stay paired or practice with others.
- Dress Code: Feel free to dress however you want, whether vanilla or ready to practice. There is a place to change outfits. Please keep your genitals covered.
- Who Can Come: This workshop is open to all gender identifications, orientations, lifestyles, singles, and couples. All experience levels welcome. 21+
Play & Practice:
After the workshop, you can apply what you learned in the workshop or know within the context of the curriculum. Play & Practice time is tailored to the interests of the students and may involve live demonstration scenes, guided practice time, and other applications of class material. Opt-in to engage to your comfort level, socialize, or simply observe and learn. Please keep the vibes educational and exploratory; this is not the place to cruise for a hook-up.
REQUIRED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: It should go without saying, but we are going to spell it out clearly nonetheless: kink and intimacy activities are inherently risky. Safety requires practice and cannot be guaranteed. By attending, you agree to participate at your own risk, conduct your own risk management, and agree to hold the event facilitators and facility harmless for any type of physical or emotional harm that may occur.
