We’re joined by Conrad, addressing questions and applications of topping as service.

I am a sex worker that started first with stripping back in 1995 and since has been a male model, escort, investment banker, squater and now a pro dom for the past 2 years. I also co founded swop-nyc the new york city chapter of sex workers outreach project and swank sex workers action new york, both being sex worker organizing and activism. I have spoken at Desiree Alliance 2008 in Chicago and at Critical Resistance 2008 both on the subject of sex worker activism. I have been in the BDSM community for 2 years and attended as many conferences and workshops as possible. Roughly one per month. And now I want to start to give back what I have learned.

As a prodom in my work life and as a lifestyle service top in my private life, I feel that “Topping as a Service” will be the most beneficial workshop I can give to our community.

You have gone to scary and wonderful places. You have flown high, dropped deep, exploded into tiny bits, or feel like you own the universe. Ever have a hard time getting back to the rest of the world? Ever struggle in recovering from scenes or weekend events? Ever feel like the ending was too abrupt, lingered, or never really ended? Ever struggle to find a natural end when it feels like it could go on forever? How do you close the scene, the dynamic, or the BDSM relationship so that it feels like it has a real tangible end? This class will offer tools to strategize closure in our kink lives, discussing ways to close scenes, make aftercare work for you, deal with drop after a scene or event, and find closing rituals that assist you in letting go of BDSM relationships that have ended.
