Presented by ’23 Northwest Master/slave Marilyn & Rio, this Program of Play Piercing provides a quick and intense endorphin rush that can be a scene all its own or add an intense spark to a larger scene. The pain and the blood can bring a primal energy to your play and a connection unlike any other. It takes skill, attention to safety, creativity, and some equipment. In this class, Marilyn and Rio will discuss why people play with piercings, how to do it, how to stay safe, and how to outfit your kit. They’ll give you some ideas about incorporating needles into play.
Other topics will include negotiation, preparation, effects of piercing on piercer and piercee, and creative ways to decorate, escalate, and satiate.
This Exiles’ Program is a hands-on class and will be at the Folsom Street Community Center. We supply the needles; you supply the creativity and passion!
