Flogger?! I barely know her! - 5/16

About the Class

Are you looking to add more variety to your scenes? Do you want to expand your toy bag? Are you new to impact play? Do you just need a new hobby? Try flogging!

Floggers are among the most versatile of impact implements, ranging in materials, lengths, and styles. You can create a myriad of sensations with floggers, from sting to thud and soft to sadistic. They’re also pretty! This class will teach you how to use a flogger effectively, even if you’ve never tried impact play before. If you’ve been flogging for a while, come pick up some new tricks; there’s always more to learn!

In this class we will discuss why we and many others enjoy flogging, different types of floggers, the materials that make them up, and the “anatomy” of a standard flogger. We will be covering general impact negotiations geared towards a flogging scene and the safety aspects that should be taken into consideration. There will be a verbal discussion on the “how tos” when it comes to flogging as well as the pitfalls, followed by a demo by ourselves with VidaDoce and Marbles Magoo. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to participate in a guided practice where you can put the knowledge to the test and ask any questions or voice concerns that arise.

You will leave this class knowing:

• What floggers are and how to choose them
• Basic flogging techniques
• Risk mitigation for impact play
• Tips for creating a connective flogging scene
• Probably a few new jokes!

Students are encouraged to bring their own floggers and/or a 30 foot hank of rope for making an improvised flogger!
