ONLINE: Needle Play 101: Easy with Those Pricks

This beginner’s class is designed to introduce you to the safety precautions necessary when it comes to playing with sharps and piercing someone’s skin even just for play. This includes careful negotiations, wound care, and proper aftercare. In this class I will go over how to play with needles in a risk-aware fashion. I’ll also include information on what supplies you need as well as where to get them. I will demonstrate basic techniques as well as creating endorphin buttons. Even if you're an experienced player, you'll still walk away with a new trick for your arsenal.

Other points of conversation will include:

• What to do if things go wrong

• Ways to set the mood and warm your bottom up, creating a beautiful headspace
• Sterilization for set up and clean up
• Playing in public vs playing privately
• 5 Secrets from an experienced player of 20+ years.

This workshop is meant to be an inclusive environment that is accommodating for all types of people. You can participate in a way that feels comfortable for you, whether that’s joining in the chat, or remaining anonymous while taking in all the information. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any accessibility needs.
