Xeno (@_MrNobody) is a lover of all things precise, but most of all the precision found in the edge of a knife. Deep connections are the emphasis of his style, in part due to a high level of comfort developed from playing with knives since before he knew what kink was. He’s passionate about sharing his personal view and understanding of knives with others in the community and promoting a safe understanding of this form of literal edge play.
Knife play is not complicated. This class will cover basic safety considerations, a few simple techniques for using knives, and optional information about choosing and maintaining knives. Beyond that, this class is primarily intended to expose people to different knife play concepts and inspire ideas about how to make this kind of play enjoyable.
Format: presentation/demo/Q&A
Curious, want to try? Following the end of the demo, attendees will have the option to try bottoming for knife play, or to try topping for knife play with supervision (if consenting bottom is available).
About the Presenters:
Xeno is your friendly neighborhood sadist. His favorite kinks include rope, knives, rough body play, and raw vulnerability – generally, with a heavy emphasis on pain. As a presenter, he values inclusivity and adaptability, and strives to make his classes work for the attendees, rather than the other way around. He has enjoyed planning, hosting, and presenting at various events since 2016, and is currently active with the Board of Education and a co-chair of the Board of Education TNG Committee. As a strong advocate of direct communication and critical thinking about risk profiles, he strives to promote responsible play at all intensity levels. (Pronouns: he/they, FetLife: @_MrNobody)
Serena is sweet as can be! So, naturally, she paired up with a sadist to strike a perfect balance. She entered the community in early 2021, and quickly discovered her home here. Since then, she's spent her time fostering friendships, serving the community, learning all the kinky things, and exploring her interests. In general, she’s drawn to bottoming and dabbles in topping, but her love for receiving mean rope remains constant and true. She currently serves as secretary on the Board of Directors for the Board of Education, as well as a member of the Board of Education TNG Committee. (Pronouns: she/they, FetLife: @ser0tonin_)
