Exiles members, $10 non-members<br>at the Women's Building, 3543 18th
St. @ Valencia, SF<br>Programs are open to women and those whose gender
self-identification is other than male.<br>ASL interpretation is
available.<br><br>For some people, there is nothing funny about the
crack of a whip. For others, the mere thought of a switchblade can make
them to giggle.When energy<br>flows freely all kinds of new places can
be explored.<br>Is play different when there's laughter involved? It<br>can
often be a way to achieve heartfelt connection<br>with your partner(s).
How can laughter mixed with<br>play and sex be transformative? How do
you get<br>there? Stepping out of traditional role play can be<br>freeing
- as a way to push boundaries, try new techniques, or introduce
surprising<br>elements. From baby-top to twisted babysitter to
cell-mate, we'll discuss ways and means to incorporate humor with your<br>sadism,
and how playing with a light heart and a heavy<br>hand can increase the
power of your scene.<br><br>About the Presenter:<br>A former Texan and a
current San Franciscan since 1999, Rocket has been running<br>with
scissors since the mid 80's. An active member of the Bay Area leather<br>community
since becoming a CA resident, co-coordinator of the Exiles from 2004-<br>2006,
producer of the Exiles' annual meet and greet (Folsom ForPlay)
2003-2006,<br>and kinky since she could say the word fuck, she believes
that the energy exchange<br>between players can be a transformative
experience. Rocket identifies as<br>a queer, butch, leatherdyke, switch.
Whether a bratty-boi or sadistic daddy she's<br>always up for a good
laugh.</span></span></h3><br><br>Robin <br>Co-Coordinator <br>The Exiles <br>San Francisco <br> <br> <br>Check out our <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">FACEBOOK</span> page!</td></tr></table>
