Flogging For Tops and Bottoms
This is a terrific opportunity to enhance your understanding of flogging irrespective of your experience or skill level. There will be plenty of hands on practice so be sure to bring your partner and your floggers. After attending this presentation, tops will feel comfortable enough in their knowledge and skills to use a flogger in a scene that very night! Bottoms will learn the art of processing pain as well as how to communicate with their Top with their bodies. Tops will be guided in how to interpret this communication. This non-verbal communication is absolutely key to fostering trust, deepening the bond between top and bottom, and ultimately paving the way to more fulfilling scenes for both. The history of flogging will be introduced along with the different types of materials from which floggers are crafted. And no flogging discussion would be complete without also addressing the different strokes, ideal target areas on the body (and not-so-ideal target areas), rituals, getting into head space for the top and bottom, warm-up, ramp-up, how and when to finish a scene and providing appropriate aftercare.

Florentine Flogging – Two-Handed Flogging
This will be a hands-on workshop to learn the art of two-handed flogging. We have developed a way to teach almost everyone, regardless of age or experience level, the muscle memory necessary to throw floggers with both hands. They will demonstrate the difference between the 4-count and the 6-count strokes as well as the reverse throws. It has been said that “Florentine is all for show!” This is generally the view held by those who have yet to successfully master it! We believe that “Double the impact and double the fun!” You will certainly become a believer too! Be sure to bring your flogger and your partner as there is no sense in all that flogging effort to go to waste!

Together they are devoted to their family, friends and community. Education is important to them and they can often be found teaching classes locally and at many National conferences. They teach a wide variety of classes from technical to relationship to spiritual. A full listing of their classes can be found on their Fetlife profile. They also are the producers of Paradise Unbound, a week long kinky campout that is held every August as a fundraiser for the CSPC. Known for his edge play, Stormmy can often be found in a dungeon; knife, scalpel or barbwire flogger in hand. His motto is “ I give and give until it hurts. “
