Foundation for Sex Positive Culture presents: Advanced Rough Body Play: Backhanding

An Advanced Workshop with Roughinamorato

Let's face it - backhanding looks really cool when it's done well. We see it in the movies, but how safe
is it to do in a scene? It turns out, backhanding is amazingly potent, and safe when done correctly.

In this class we'll look at backhanding as an impact style and how the biomechanics differ from open- handed palm-side-first impact play. Come to this class to learn some wonderful techniques for backhanding on the shoulder, back, ass, foot, and other body parts.

Time permitting, we may cover more advanced backhanding techniques such as using the hand as a whip, dragon's tail, cat, and backhanding of genitals and even faces.

We'll talk about safety, as always: where you can hit, where you should stay away from, and why there are places where you can hit open handed that you can't backhanded.

Cost at the door: $25.

Attendance is limited to 40 people.
Questions may be directed to: education@thefspc.org

About the Educator:

Roughinamorato is a charmingly sadistic bastard who believes that kink should be fun; just because you're torturing someone doesn't mean you can't both have a good laugh between the screams. He's been teaching in the BDSM scene since 2006.

His journey of self-discovery into kink and BDSM has led him to want to share that joy and pain with others, through classes about rough body play, rope, connection, and sexual expression. He has become an internationally renowned presenter and has taught at events across the world including Dark Odyssey, Shibaricon, The Gathering, Thunder in the Mountains, Frolicon, The Floating World, Winter Wickedness, WestCoast Bound, Rope Camp, the Fetish Flea, and many more. He runs Rough Crowd, a monthly rough body play workshop in Chicago, and Rough Crowd Academy, a rough body play intensive weekend that has made appearances in cities from San Francisco to Boston, Toronto to Sydney. He also runs Rough Crowd Cigars, a monthly-ish smoker.

You can find him on FetLife at fetlife.com/roughinamorato, on Twitter @roughinamorato, or on the web at http://roughinamorato.com and http://roughcrowd.org.

Roughinamorato lives in Chicago.
