Fantasy Enemas, From Sensual to Just Plain Mean
We will explore the five enema elements: Speed, Contents, Amount, Temperature, and Orientation (Position) -- SCAT? O! And how these are mixed to create pleasure or pain. It will run the gamut from gloriously soothing while being sexually stimulating to the sadistic little twists that make an enema difficult, uncomfortable, and humiliating. The workshop will include audience participation and end with show-and-tell, so if you have favorite enema equipment, don't forget to bring it. Volunteers to give or get, please email Gina at gina_s_p@yahoo.com.

Attempts at the Rape Fantasy
Join us for a workshop in which the elements that make the rape fantasy real from both the perspective of the victim and the attacker. What makes it hot? What elements make success unpredictable or even dangerous? Is, for one controversial example, the element of surprise essential or a time bomb just waiting to make a potentially good scene go bad? Does anticipation necessarily negate rape or might it up the ante? Is monogamous rape possible? And, if so, how do you make it work? How do you keep a gang rape from disintegrating into just another gang bang? Interesting questions all. Perhaps together we can figure out how to make our rape fantasies realities in the world of edge play.

Sub Human Property -- A Different Style of Ownership
Most are familiar with the traditional Master/slave relationship, especially those in which a special and even affectionate bond exists between owner and property. But what happens if this relationship manifests as distant at best and downright non-consensual at its extreme? Does etiquette make sense for ravagers and victims? Can you really train an unruly or playful dog? How do you communicate with a table? For those who use objectification as the basis for a relationship, traditional rules do not apply and even become problematic. What is objectification and how do you base an exceedingly profound D/s relationship on it? Can property have rules? If an object is inherently neither good nor bad, how does the owner punish it? We'll also discuss the problems created when the object is confronted with a traditional Master. How does an owner and, indeed, the property, deal with situations that confound and quite possibly offend those not familiar with this form of ownership?

Bad Scenes Gone Good --
Personal Transformation Through Walking the Edge
Those of you who've met Gina know she tends to jump in "where angels fear to tread". Warren loves to take her there, but, as a responsible Dominant, almost always needs to moderate her enthusiasm. In fact, when they first met, it took him quite a few months before he believed she knew what she was asking for and the resulting volatility almost destroyed their relationship. So what saved them? A method of communication directly spawned by the rational structure in which we all function as scene participants. Warren and Gina call the techniques "The Black Art of Communication". It's one part clearly defined relationships, one part awareness, and two parts the willingness and ability to push past one's personal agenda to truly service one's partner, i.e., to listen and respond without bias.
