Hit 'em Where It Hurts: An Impact Play Intensive

For beginners to more advanced players, this intensive is a comprehensive guide for those looking to grow and evolve with impact play. Discover the best places to strike for maximum effect and which areas of the body to avoid. One implement can be used to create several different sensations depending on the point of contact and which part of the toy is being used, let’s talk about it! For these activities to be enjoyable and effective, elements such as pacing, positioning, and rhythm need to be considered, which we will cover. Learn the best practices for warming up your bottom for longer, satisfying scenes.

Our time will teach you how to wield two or more implements simultaneously for an added flair. Discover ways to use your own body for more primal experiences. Unlock new techniques to create lasting marks that can be admired later. We will discuss the essentials of aftercare for both physical and emotional well-being. Hear from seasoned players about why tops and bottoms love impact play. Gain insights on how to manage heightened emotions during a scene. Be prepared to explore floggers, canes, crops, paddles, whips, and everything in between. Both sides of the slash will benefit from attending as we will be talking about the importance of a bottom’s role as well as responsibilities.
