With recent news events, the gathering of information via interrogation utilized by the military and the methodology utilized by law enforcement in what they call “interviews” has gotten a lot of attention lately . Most of us grew up on police shows or movies and their interrogation methods. Being who we are we can see the kink potential in everything, thus, here is a class that uses the government’s own manuals from the 1960s to Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo and police procedures to show sound methodologies of extracting information, or of just having good clean, dirty fun. Sir Guy will describe and demonstrate some of these methods and discuss the psychology and the aftermath of interrogation. I live in a 24/7 Master/slave relationship. I’ve been active in the scene for over a decade. I am an Emeritus Board Member of The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), Director of MAsT Metro New York, Founder of The Dark Lair: BDSM Support and Education for People of Color, and an Associate Member of ONYX NY/Northeast. He won the International Power Exchange 2013 title. I have presented at MsC several times, Brimstone, TES Fest, The Floating World, LLC, Leather History Preservation Weekend, several MAsT groups, South Jersey Power Exchange, LILNR/LICK and over 30 groups and events.
