Intro to BDSM workshop Saturday

6:00 pm
Fee: $150.00
This is a hands-on workshop for anyone curious about knowing more about BDSM. Learn some basics, including different styles of play (know the difference between a bottom, a submissive, and a fetishist) the psychology of Domination and submission, negotiation with a partner, terminology, safety issues, and basic techniques from flogging to light rope bondage to trust rituals. If the students are curious, we will also touch on the more edgy topics like piercing and breath play. You will get a chance to handle and/or feel the implements used in a BDSM dungeon, and try them with a real person.
Dominant and submissive novices are welcome to attend. This is a great opportunity to explore as either a Top or bottom, or try a bit of both (all good Tops know exactly how it feels to be on the bottom, after all). You will be paired with a Domme/Dom or submissive to practice what you learn (you will have your choice of male or female practice partners). All limits will be respected! Couples are very welcome to participate (ask about the couple discount).
Mistress Zaynab will be leading the workshop. She has been a Pro Domme for more than 8 years with more than 10 years in the lifestyle. She is the owner and Head Mistress of Holy Mountain BDSM Studio in Chicago’s West Loop.
Attend a local late night PLAY PARTY after the workshop for an additional $20 (paid at the door of the venue)! See bondage and suspension demos and socialize with members of the Chicago BDSM community (This must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance – please contact Zaynab ASAP for more info).
