The BOE Presents: The Ethical Fem(me) Domme with Rhapsody_in_Blue “ If we wait for perfect people to try perfectly we will never change anything”

The Ethical Fem(me) Domme

If we wait for perfect people to try perfectly we will never change anything. And thus I am a deeply flawed person doing the best I can to start a conversation around ethics in Feminine Domination. This class is an invitation to, first, female identifying tops who want to learn hard skills around building respectful boundaries in a D/s dynamic. Second, bottom leaning switches and subs of all gender identifications who can edify and inform this goal. And third, any other roles that want to witness and or be a part of this dialogue respectfully and productively. Looking forward to the conversation!

Rhapsody_in_Blue

Rhapsody in Blue has been an active part of the Michigan Fetish and kink culture for the last 3 and a half years. She is a nonprofit director, educator, podcaster, community builder, advocate, and Femme Domme with switch tendencies. She seeks to solve complicated problems with creative people and is constantly practicing and perfecting her communication skills and karaoke performances.

The BOE Presents: The Submissive Men Panel “ Strength in Male Submission ”

Strength in Male Submission

The difference between our roles in our everyday lives and our roles in the bedroom has always been interesting. Much of our identity stems from sexual expression. However society tends to dictate how we should see other individuals. Submissive men are no strangers to this.
How do we see stereotypically un-masculine behavior, such as sexual submission represented in society?
What hurdles do submissive men face in the lifestyle?
How do Submissive men navigate the community?
This class is a Submissive male panel made up of submissive men from our community who will share with us their journey in the lifestyle. How they found their way, chose their partners, and obstacles they face on a regular basis.
Some come share on their journey and learn about the strength in male submission.

The BOE Presents: Taboo Play with Fetishep “ How to Start the conversation that makes everyone uncomfortable”

Description:
https://fetlife.com/events/837730

TABOO

Taboo play can run the gambit from mild to wild. Race, religion, consensual non-consent, abuse, trauma, interrogations, and a plethora of other taboo topics can and will be discussed in this class. We will discuss how to begin negotiations and trappings and pitfalls that come with this type of play.

Fetishep

Fetishep (or Shep as he is known by most) is a polyamorous and sadistic dominant who is as likely to ask you for a kiss as he is to ask to hurt you. Shep is a huge proponent of consent in all things and brings this attitude to his play, his teaching, and his life in general.

He has been kinky as long as he’s been dating and incorporates all he has learned in his travels over the years into his play, relationships, and teaching. Among his classes are “Fire and Fire Safety”, “Taboo Play”, and two classes that are deeply personal and unique: “Kinky and Disabled”, and “PTSD and Triggers in the Lifestyle (A Top’s Perspective)”.

The father of three, Shep enjoys wood working, tinkering with all things Jeep, and long gimps off short piers. His BDSM interests vary wildly from rough body and taboo play, to flogging and fire (often both at the same time!).

The BOE Presents: Character with GoddessManda “ What does Character mean to you?”

Character

What does it mean to you?
Do you believe there is a difference between character and personality?
Who are you at the center of your being, can it be developed and improved upon?
How do these questions effect your interactions and relationships within the BDSM community?
Come discuss these questions with Goddess Manda in a fun interactive environment and learn a bit about yourself in the process!

GoddessManda
Goddess Manda has been active in the BDSM lifestyle and community for over two decades in both Chicago and Michigan. She is the host of Flint’s Kinky Karaoke, and has previously organized auction events for both kinky fun and charity. She is a student of psychology and human nature; a strong proponent of what some would call old school values.

As a strong Dominant woman she believes in: total power exchange, personal character, accountability, ethics, and high protocol. She has taught classes on some of these topics as well, within both vanilla and kink worlds. She is a sadist, who lovingly refers to that side of herself as “The Dragon”. A true lover of life and family; both chosen and blood.

The Class: Exploring Connection, One Rope at a Time

To be presented by poisonwell and Dawn77.

Workshop Description:

This class will explore different concepts and techniques for using rope as a connective median. The focus will be on moving rope around the body while remaining connected and allowing the person being tied to experience surrender.

The first part of the class will cover basic rope handling, safety, body positioning and the concept of “rope halves” while tying (and untying). The second part will focus on applying these techniques and creating a connective experience. Throughout the class, there will also be an emphasis on exploring and discuss the bottom’s perspective and the experience and headspace created by the different techniques.

The class will be open to all skill levels and no specific ties or patterns will be shared and/or required. Depending on available time, class interested and participation, additional concepts will be introduced and incorporated.

Skill Level: All Levels
Duration: TBD (this is pretty flexible)
Rope/Gear: 3×30′ or more, Safety Shears/Cutting Tool
Class Type: Hands On, Tie Along

The BOE Tuesday Night Dungeon Social “ A public play party & social evening for EVERYONE”

Dungeon Social

These don’t happen very often so you don’t want to miss this!

Come out and join us for a relaxed evening of socializing. This is a great opportunity to try out some new play or the equipment without feeling the pressure of a big weekend party.

Or just join us and socialize. Sometimes a quiet evening of sitting around on couches and chatting with other fellow kinksters is just what is needed.


Important!

Because this will be a more public event there are some rules that need to be adhered to.

  • No full nudity. (bits must be covered)
  • No sex
  • Consent is a must before any play.

There will also be a liability waiver to sign and all information will be kept confidential.

Thank you in advance and can’t wait to have some fun with everyone!
