Objectification is one of the easiest and safest forms of psycholgical play. You can turn people into useful or decorative objects, or pets, or non-person humanoids, or sex objects. Consensually, of course. We'll show where the erotic heat is, and discuss the many emotions this play can raise. We'll show how to make the play easy, effective, safe, and hot.

You'll have a chance to try guided objectifications at whatever is your personal comfort level. This class will also prepare you for certain upcoming parties.

This is a hands-on playshop. We'll do guided exercises in Objectification techniques. You may also bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. The evening has three parts (times approximate): 7 - 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 - 10 Presentations and Guided Hands-on exercises 10 - 10:30 Open practice or play.

Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the guided hands-on workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice.

Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need to wear anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome. If you have questions you may write to edukink at yahoo dot com

What attendees have said:

"The best kind of Object Lessons."

"Objectify My Love" - Madonna

“A class, a mini-party, and a munch. The best way to spend a Thursday. I come every month, no matter what the topic.”

“Use Me - Objectification” is part of the Paideia series of monthly BDSM/leather events / playshops mainly for those of intermediate or advanced experience. The format intends to combine the best elements of hands-on workshops, a munch, a play party, and a peer workshop. More than a dozen topics are covered in these playshops, on both common and exotic topics. We have a core study group who increase the depth and breadth of their play each month, as well as have fun together.
