Impact Basic Block 2: Understanding Risks

Impact Basics Block 2:

Understanding Risks

This is the 2nd block in the Impact Basics Blocks Series. Here you’ll learn about the numerous risks we take when we decide to hit each other for fun. What precautions can we take to prevent injuries, minimize the consequences that are almost inevitable in impact play? How do we manage risks while using our toys? 

In the hands-on portion of this class, you’ll apply your newly acquired knowledge to locate on the body the areas to avoid, the ones to be careful with and where you can have more fun.  We’ll start with our hands, then use a flogger, a paddle, a rod then a cane or a crop. 

Each person will receive individual coaching from @LadyFreyAnna. Come and learn all the basics of impact play from her vast hands-on knowledge and experience with this very common expression of kink! 

We’ll use a flogger, a paddle, a rod then a cane or a crop. It’s recommended you bring at least one of each. If you don’t have one or more of these, you’ll be able to borrow one from LadyFreyAnna’s personal toy bag during class.

This class requires a partner. Tickets are sold per person. Tickets are available on a sliding scale to promote inclusivity and accessibility. Please choose the ticket price that makes this event accessible to you. All ticket types provide the same access to the event.

Suggested Prerequisites: IBB-1 Applied Consent In Impact.
