Massage for Pain (or Pleasure) with Tower

Massage is the quintessential topping.  Traditional massage techniques teach how to manipulate, maneuver, stroke, and strike a body to get the desired results.  While for the most part this result is pleasurable, the same techniques can be used to cause intense, controlled pain.  Fundamentals of massage will be covered, so even those who only intend to use these skills for less than nefarious purposes will benefit.  The class is a combination of presentation and hands-on practice as time and space allows.

Bios: 

Tower (fka Joshua HighTower) has been involved in New York’s BDSM scene for most of his life, having presented dozens of times for The Eulenspiegel Society, Long Island Leather and Roses, and Conversio Virium as well as at events including TES Fest, IMsL, Black Rose, Fusion, Fet Fest, Winter Wickedness, and Leather Leadership Conference. In addition to being cofounder of TES-TNG, he was involved in the initial conceptualization and proliferation of the TNG movement. Nothing makes him happier than seeing what makes people tick and seeing folks use what he taught them. Well, okay, maybe there are a couple of things…

Demo bottom:

Lex Lively realized that she might be into impact play when she would look for any excuse to be paddled while in a sorority during her time in college. While fairly new to the public scene, she has spent the last few years learning and exploring, discovering new things that excite her almost constantly. She lives up to her name, meeting each moment with energy and enthusiasm, always looking forward to the next adventure.
