What attracts mainstream media to develop texts that incorporate BDSM? Is part of changing sexual norms? The need to entertain to sell goods? Or is it, plainly, the shock value? The Heart Break Pup discusses the varied representations of BDSM in the media and what scholars have identified in the broadcasting of BDSM to the masses. Heart Break Pup is a college professor in the Midwest teaching in the fields of mass media, popular culture and gender. He has published work on popular sports, subcultures and popular music. He has been in the scene for nearly 10 years, mostly in the tri-state area.

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.

So we just met a hot Dominant or Submissive in the Dungeon. We'd love to play with them, but we don't want it to just be about Top & Bottom. We want to play with power, with intention. We're feeling that connection and want to explore it further. How do we do this? How do we create D/s connections that are temporary but authentic? How do we use language to reinforce the dynamic? How does physical play support the emotional connection we're trying to nourish? Darren will address these questions and more as he provides practical tips and tricks for creating hot D/s Pick-Up play. Darren is a sexuality and relationship educator and coach based out of Toronto, Ontario. He loves to facilitate discussions about making our relationships richer and our play hotter, with a particular focus on power exchange relationships and play. He is a relationship coach and mental wellness advocate. In his classes, Darren focuses on providing participants practical tools to communicate about the kind of dynamics, play, and sex they want, focusing on collaborative consent and shared vulnerability. He can be reached at darren@learngrowrepeat.ca. To register: MEMBERS -$10 Create a Member Portal account using the same email address used when you purchased your membership.
