Workshop description Topping without Toys: Rough Body Play Want to add some extra "punch" to your scenes? Found yourself with a play partner and no toy bags in sight? Want to really get up close and physical with an aggressive bottom? Grappling, punching, slapping, kicking, pinning, physical intimidation and other rough body play will all be included in this workshop where we'll explore taking the fantasy of take down scenes, aggressive play, and consensual non-consent to a risk-mitigated reality. Our instructor will go over basic safety considerations for this kind of play and will discuss and demonstrate how to manage rough body play scenes as well as situations that might not go as intended. We will also discuss how tops can get a 'leg up' when your bottom is stronger or larger than you. There will be some opportunity for supervised interaction, so we recommend you bring a partner (or be willing to team up at the workshop) and wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in. This workshop will take place on January 24, 2009 and will be taught by VAD. If you would like to attend, please email us at p3gatherings @ gmail. com. Tickets are available for $10 per person in advance only. No tickets will be available at the door.
