About our program:

This class is designed for those who have included, or want to include patting slapping smacking different body parts in their sex play. Face slapping is the most intense of this kind of play and the class will devote a fair section to Safety vs. Spontaneity, psychological aspects (both hidden and apparent) and techniques of face slapping. As time allows we will talk about breast and other body part slapping. Hair handling (as I call it because there is much more than just pulling hair) will also be explored again with safety vs. Spontaneity as a theme. This class is definitely a hands on, practicing event. There will be demonstrations and I urge you to come ready to practice with a partner and yourself. (It is often a good thing to practice any impact play on yourself to understand the nuances of what you will be doing with, and to your partner). Come ready to have fun and explore.
