Knife & Fear Play Workshop

Knife & Fear Play Workshop

Please note: this workshop is designed for those with prior BDSM/kink experience including consent, negotiation, and risk aware play.

The quickening of your heartbeat; the tension of a sharp blade caressing your flesh. Knives are sharp. A wrong move or too much pressure, and you have an accident instead of a controlled scene. Think of the feel of the sharp edge as it wanders over your body; take a deep breath as cold steel toys with not only your body, but your mind.

This workshop will focus on creating a scary but safer experience. We’ll explore how to use your knife to build tension and fear for you and your partner, while keeping risks under control. The workshop will cover scene development,  knives and the human body, and the mental (mind fuck) aspects. There will be opportunities for hands-on practice, so bring your knife (if you already have one), and your sense of adventure.

If you are bringing your own knife, please make sure it fits the following guidelines:

• single edge blades only

• no longer than 6”

• clean blade

This workshop does not require 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.

This workshop is open to members only. If you don’t have your membership yet, you can sign up online or come by to see the space on one of our social nights and sign up in person. We would love to see you!

About Daniel48

I have been a member of the Ottawa Kinky community since 1998, and was involved in my local communities before moving to Ottawa (no way around it- I’m one of the oldest members of our community).   While I enjoy and am experienced in a range of kinky activities, knife play is one of my favourites.

My “thing” is safety.  I insist on play partners having as much information as possible, and their being aware of all possible risks as well as pleasures.  Mitigating risks enhances the ability to relax into the fear.

I started playing with knives as a teenager (hello, Boy Scouts); my interest in this activity gradually increased over the years.  While I’m also an impact enthusiast, I like playing with fear, and there’s very little to compare with the fear of having a sharp, cold knife-edge at your throat- or perhaps somewhere more intimate?
