Foundation for Sex Positive Culture presents: So You Wanna Be a Top...
A Fundamentals of BDSM workshop.

Swinging a flogger, cracking a whip, wrapping rope around the limb of a willing bottom - these are all highly enticing experiences! But there is much more to being a good top than knowing how to use implements.

Appropriate for all experience levels, this workshop looks at the mental and emotional aspects of topping, including:
• Determining your scene style(s)
• Finding compatible bottoms
• The responsibilities of a top
• Knowing your limits (Yes, tops have limits too!)
• Managing aftercare and "top drop"

Whether a newbie or an experienced player, So You Wanna Be A Top... will challenge you to look beyond the mere physical act of topping, and consider the actions and reactions of your mind and spirit.

This presentation will be done in a lecture and discussion format. No previous experience required.

Cost at the door: $25.
Attendance is limited to 45 people.
Questions may be directed to: education@thefspc.org

About the Educator:

International Community Bootblack 2012 Ruin began her leather journey while vending at International Mr. Leather 2004. Only 8-months-old in kink, not knowing a gag from an ass plug and surrounded by leathermen, she knew she had stumbled upon something significant, something she wanted more of.

After moving to Seattle, Ruin joined the Center for Sex Positive Culture, which she credits with her development into the wicked, sadomadochistic leathergirl she is today. The CSPC led her to Seattle’s long-standing leather bar, The Cuff, where she met her bootblacking teacher, Diamond Jack. It was through bootblacking that Ruin deeply connected with her local leather community. She has never looked back.

A seasoned performer and educator, Ruin's interests are as varied as her panties, but her first loves remain bondage, blood, beatings, burlesque, and of course, boots. Lee Harrington and Skip Chasey are her biggest inspirations in kink education. Ruin strives to present relevant and provocative classes, while being real and approachable as a teacher.
