Teaching “Anal Sadism” for the First Time

Saturday, I presented a class all by myself for the first time — my recent creation, “Anal Sadism.”

My non-latex gloved hand. And Crisco.

Actually, it was fucking awesome — but there was some unexpected extra pressure. I had been expecting a crew of about 20 or so. TNG had been described to me as a small, laid back group of the ‘younger generation’ — less experienced, newbie sort of gathering who would be easy to impress with new information. No such luck, this time.

In actuality, when I showed up, Maya, the young lady who organizes (runs? owns? I don’t know her official title) TNG, excitedly ran up to me and announced, “We’ve had over 40 people RSVP! And Master Pam RSVPed for like, 7 people — her whole family is showing up just for your class before they head over to FAD!”

I grinned and nodded excitedly, while a small flock of butterflies started vigorous mating rituals inside my belly.

Master Pam & her partner, Phantom Blue, are some AWESOME titleholders — Blue is Mr North Carolina Leather 09 and and MP just became Ms. Southeast Olympus 2010, and she’s also an excellent teacher/presenter in the sex ed world. They both qualify as experienced in the BDSM realm, to say the least, and are definitely minor local celebrities. Thank god they’re also friends of mine.

But, I still wasn’t prepared for them to show up all in their leathers — MP wearing the huge telltale leather sash printed with her title, made up and decked out to the nines. Whoa.

I’d gotten some experience teaching from doing small, regular lessons for the pro-Dommes I’ve trained in my dungeon and more recently, helping Auburn Goddess & Devious with some of their classes at large conventions — I did behind the scenes work with them and did the “demo” portion of two classes, a CBT and an Anal Play class with them. It was fun, but it wasn’t the responsibility and the pressure of doing a presentation all by myself.

Now, with an astonishingly large audience and experienced players in attendance, the stage was set and the pressure (butterflies, ACK!) for me to have an extraordinary performance was on.

Luckily for me, the butterflies — something I’ve experienced for every public performance/appearance since I was 6 years old — only lasted as long as it took me to get started. Once I was in front of the group, the butterflies took off to annoy some other poor soul.

Needless to say… IT WAS AWESOME!

I climbed around like a monkey, clicked through slides on my PowerPoint, got to rant at length about all the safety issues that no one else ever seems to realize are important, showed off some pretty hardcore videos that got people wincing in their seats or howling with excitement, and passed around some of my wildest toys.

My partner says I only said “um” twice.

When I created the class, I realized that I had way, way too much material to cover. I couldn’t possibly teach how to do a proper enema, fisting techniques, prostate milking, psychology as a big part of anal play, and my tips and tricks for causing real pain without damage during an anal scene, in six hours — much less 1hr or 1.5hrs. So what I did was more of an overview: once you understand the risks, here’s how to do your own research on how to really get into each activity, with some interesting pointers and links to get started in the handout.

And I think I succeeded in fascinating people, and I’m already planning some specialty classes based off of the first one — Fisting & Size Queens, Enemas for Cleanliness, Pain or Pleasure, and maybe a few others. & it seems I’ll have venues available to me whenever I am ready to do those presentations: Maya from TNG has already invited me back to teach again. Yipieeee!

Thanks for having me, TNG — it was awesome. ^_^

The main sad point for me is that I didn’t actually end up doing a demo. One of the reasons was because the crowd was simply so packed into the room that they were within arms’ reach of me the entire time — way too close! Also, with so many young, energetic folks there, enticed into a wild fervor by my loud, humorous style, it was way too rowdy for me to WANT to do my demo piece. People were laughing, conversing, running around, tossing my toys at each other, bickering and threatening each other with giant dildos — it wasn’t a relaxed, erotic mood. And that’s probably for the best. I may have to think more on how to encourage interactiveness while maintaining a nice orderly group, next time — or just settle for not doing demo time stuff.

I’d really like to find a different bottom for my demo class — my CD slave Melissa is the stoic type, prone to silence and the occasional monotone grunt or “Ow, ma’am” and my partner is simply not very into play lately — not to mention terrified of crowds.

If you were hoping to go to this class, don’t worry — I WILL be teaching it again at some point. And if any other groups would like to invite me to teach, this class seems to be a big hit!

Anal Sadism
“Anal rape may be sexy… but hemorrhoids are not!”
Anal play for intermediate and advanced players — we will start with quick review of basics then move on to more interesting activities! Not a class for those who are sheepish! We will cover extremes such as large toys, fisting, prostate massages, male vs. female ‘bottoms’, anal torture, and enemas.
