DSF meeting: MaxWax Play with Mistress Didi

by
September 7, 2007
8:45 PMto10:45 PM

DomSubFriends has invited Mistress Didi to present her techniques for wax play. From her presentation description:

There are four segments to Mistress Didi’s MaxWax™ presentation:

  1. Basic Anatomy gives a quick overview of the muscles, nerves and types of skin tissue where nerve endings can be manipulated to control the receiver’s sensations.
  2. Preparation offers a variety of ways to tantalize and safely prepare the flesh to anticipate and receive hot wax and other sensations. Proper skin care before and after Wax Play is strongly emphasized and the strengthening of the body-mind connection is established.
  3. Wax Facts explores the types of wax and candles available to consider temperature, burning quality, ease of use and clean-up.
  4. Sensory Enhancement and Prolonging Play combines the skills taught in the workshop with a variety of tools and toys for greater enjoyment of MaxWax™ Techniques for both the giver and the receiver.

Conversio Virium at Columbia University Activities Day Fair

12:00 PMto4:00 PM

The Columbia University Activities Day Fair is an afternoon in the Fall of each year where all the university’s extracurricular groups take over College Walk, Butler Plaza, and Low Plaza. The fair is a chance for these groups to attract new members, promote themselves, and stand side by side with each other. Of course, Conversio Virium will have a table there, staffed by volunteers like you. The event is open to the public, so anyone who wants to can show up—I hope I see a lot of familiar CV faces that day!

LSM meeting: Beyond Twisted: Permutations of Kinkiness with Midori

by

8:00 PMto10:00 PM

One of the reasons I suffer from clit-envy has to be that I can’t get in to see Midori present at women-only events, like this one called Beyond Twisted: Permutations of Kinkiness being hosted by the Lesbian Sex Mafia. From LSM’s events page:

A sadist must of course be a dominant. A submissive must of course be a masochist. Right? Wrong! Come along as Midori explodes the standard definitions of kink roles and expands the idea of what kink is all about. In Beyond Twisted, she maps out a fine-tuned and flexible framework that anyone can use to help describe their deviant desires. And as we all know, that’s the first step to fulfilling them! This is a class for those who don’t quite fit into the standard boxes…and for anyone who’s curious about their own possibly untapped potential!

This sounds like an absolutely fantastic meeting, one for which I’m already envious of the audience, because rigid stereotypes plague the BDSM community with much more oppression than many people realize. Midori, an excellent speaker, is sure to have some wonderful insights on this topic.

Oh and hey, don’t forget to tell the lesbian mafia that a boy from Conversio Virium sent ‘ya!

(As an aside, since I don’t check the lesbian sexuality events with any regularity for obvious reasons, I’d very much appreciate someone’s help posting such events to our calendar who does keep up-to-date with the lesbian scene. If you’re interested, please check out the CV announcement about our unaffiliated events calendar.)
