Does the thought of a good spanking make your knees weak?

Have you wondered how that singletail whip might feel against your skin?

Do you know the difference between a flogger, a cane and a paddle?

Impact play is a big part of many people’s kink, whether it’s sensuous, erotic, challenging, or cathartic. All types of impact play share common elements, and each has its own unique flavor. Join Max for an impactful journey through the various types of impact toys as he shows you how to create a variety of sensations and scenes.

Max will cover technique, safety, shopping for toys, and how to match your intention to your practice. You’ll see and experience toys from Lover’s Lair’s extraordinary selection and from Max’s private collection. We’ll also discuss how to use your built-in impact toy – your hand.

Whether impact play is used for pleasure, pain, discipline or power exchange, the options are unlimited. If you’re just starting to explore your kink, why not add it to your BDSM repertoire? And if you’re a seasoned kinkster, join us and learn a few new tips!

* About Max

******************************

Max has been active in Seattle's kink community since 1992 and has been teaching bondage, BDSM, and polyamory workshops since 1999.

While he is proficient with a wide range of BDSM skills, Max especially enjoys the intimacy of rope bondage and the intensity of the singletail. Max projects a gentle, dominant energy, and all of his relationships - and most of his scenes - include a substantial D/S component.

Max's love of teaching shines through his workshops, and his love for people informs his personal encounters.
