All The Demos!
Presented by Max. This is a highly interactive event, mostly comprised of demos on attendee volunteers. It provides a safe and informal space to observe, experience, learn, and discuss a number of kink activities. After a brief introduction covering scene dynamics, negotiation and safety, volunteers have opportunities to bottom to Max for demos which may include:
• Rope bondage
• Electrical toys — violet wands, TENS/ErosTek, stun guns and zappers
• Needles / temporary piercing
• Pressure points
• Floggers
• Singletail whips
• Canes
• D/S and service dynamics
• Leather & metal bondage (including hoods)
• Cages
• Erotic hypnosis
Each demo will include some time for a debrief and Q&A. This is a great workshop for anyone curious about kink, as it’s an unusual opportunity to see many different types of play up close and personal. It’s also valuable for more experienced kinksters who would like to see a professional demonstration. And it’s a great opportunity to meet Max and to do a demo scene with him, of course. This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations. You can bring a partner or a group of friends, but coming alone is completely comfortable and appropriate. If you miss this workshop or want a deeper experience, Max also offers private instruction for bondage and many other BDSM techniques. Class size is limited and preregistration is required.

Come join us for a fun couple of hours cracking whips. Newbie or well practiced, curious or have an extensive whip collection, all are welcome to participate and socialize. It’s an opportunity to connect with others who share your interest in whips. This is a skill share activity. There is no predetermined technical instruction set up for each practice. On occasion, a mini-workshop is offered by an experienced whip enthusiast to highlight something they find interesting and wish to share. For those that are new or nearly new to whips, and do not own a whip, there is often an extra whip or two that can be borrowed. Where other participants in attendance are willing, you may get to experience throwing their whips if you ask nicely (depending upon their preference to share or not). Some of us are quite partial to our whips, ya know!
Bring your juice or caffeinated beverages as you will get thirsty during practice. Water is provided as well a plastic cups but you may want to provide your own container. It is requested that alcoholic beverages be left at home. MVK, which sponsors this event, the venue (Wise Hall) and/or the host(ess) assume no responsibility for any injuries incurred while attending the practice. It is entirely at the attendees’ risk. Note: we will be practicing on balloons, pom poms, and/or stuffies during practice, not people. Practice bottoms are not required for this event. In keeping with MVK’s mandate of accessibility, this skill share is by donation. The majority of MVK’s monthly education runs at a loss overall, the shortfall of which is covered by our annual fundraiser, Westcoast Bound. If you can donate, we ask that you do. If you cannot, lack of finances is not a barrier to participation.
