</p><br><p><b>Program Description</b><br>One of Queen Cougar’s favorite quotes is: The Love in your heart
wasn’t put there to stay.. love isn’t love…till you give it away. In
this month that celebrates Love and the opportunity to give and receive
love – it seems appropriate to include the element of love within the
context of Sadomasochism.</p>
<p>This program will feature examples and demonstrations of a specific
intense type of dynamic between some BDSM players. In this case a femme
sadist top – interacting with bottoms or submissives in a loving way, in
a scene with the bottoms experiencing anticipation, struggle, trust,
but most definitely through multiple elements of intensity and pain.</p>
<p>Femme tops – however they dress, or adorn themselves or whatever
their style of interaction in the SM lifestyle may be, have always been
objects of desire in the BDSM world. It is their ability to entice with
their personal power and their sexual energy that causes us to fall in
love with them and the magic they share with us. It is said that femmes
are often the most scary and intense in what has been described as “the
pain game.”</p>
<p>This session will include opportunities for questions and answers
coming from participants. If it seems that your search for fulfilling
opportunities to enjoy rough sex and intense pain being dealt from the
hands of a Femme Mistress, Domme or Top – has not been fruitful – or if
you are a femme top who wants to “push the ticket” in a loving way… this
workshop may provide some clues to help you with this goal. If you just
get wet and hot and bothered – then our work here is done!</p><p><br><b>About the Presenter</b><br>Queen Cougar is a dynamic workshop presenter, leather activist, &

Directions to The Women's Building
<p>Public Transit<br> BART: The Women's Building is close to 16th street
BART. Special note: one side-effect of gentrification in the Mission is
that there are a lot of people on the streets between The Women's
Building and the BART station - all nice safe people going to one of the
many new local restaurants. You'll probably feel safe walking the few
blocks from 16th Mission BART and The Women's Building.</p>
<p><span>Muni</span><br> The 22 Fillmore runs down 16th Street. Get off at 16th & Valencia and walk two blocks to The Women's Building.<br> The 14 Mission runs along Mission Street. Get off at 17th or 18th and walk 1-1/2 blocks to <span>TWB</span>.</p>
<p>Driving Directions<br> Driving from Marin County -<br> Take the Golden Gate Bridge (101 South) to Lombard Street.<br> Turn right on <span>Gough</span> (if you get to Van Ness, you went 2 blocks too far).<br> Take <span>Gough</span> all the way to Market Street. Stay in the center lane.<br>
Turn right onto Market, then a quick left onto Valencia.<br>
Go to 18th Street and look for parking, or continue to 21st for the
parking garage. (For fewer hills but more stop lights: from Lombard
Street, turn right onto Van Ness instead of <span>Gough</span>, and follow the directions above.)</p>
Parking Garage<br>
Street parking is difficult in this neighborhood. There is an
inexpensive locked parking garage available on 21st St. between Valencia
and Mission and 16th and on Hoff St between Mission and Valencia
