Making an Impact: Whips, canes, spanking and other hitty things

Sensuous Society Presents:
Making An Impact: Whips, Canes, Spanking, and Other Hitty Things

Aug 10th 7-10pm
with Guest Max Cameron of Bondage Lessons.

Does the thought of a good spanking make your knees weak?

Have you wondered how that singletail whip might feel against your skin?

Do you know the difference between a flogger, a cane and a paddle?

Impact play is a big part of many people’s kink, whether it’s sensuous, erotic, challenging, or cathartic. All types of impact play share common elements, and each has its own unique flavor.

Join Max for an impactful journey through the various types of impact toys as he shows you how to create a variety of sensations and scenes while maintaining safety and the thrill!

Our guest teacher Max will cover technique, safety, shopping for toys, and how to match your intention to your practice. You’ll see and experience toys from Max’s private collection. We’ll also discuss how to use your built-in impact toy – your hand.

Whether impact play is used for pleasure, pain, discipline or power exchange, the options are unlimited. If you’re just starting to explore your kink, why not add it to your BDSM repertoire? And if you’re a seasoned kinkster, join us and learn a few new tips!

The workshop includes demos on attendee volunteers. If you’d like to see what the various toys feel like, there will be plenty of opportunities.

This workshop assumes no previous BDSM experience and is appropriate for all genders, all orientations, and for both tops and bottoms. As with all of Max's workshops, a handout will be provided to help you remember what's been said.

If you miss this workshop or want a deeper experience, Max also offers private instruction for bondage and many other BDSM techniques.

Class size is limited - buy your tickets early to reserve your spot.

A message from Melissa Mango of Sensuous Society**
I am pretty giddy about what's coming up with an amazing guest presenter from Seattle!
but first, I have some delicate yet important things to share with all of you because I want to be transparent as well as nip any rumors in the ass.
Because these are public events, If you click “I am going” to any of these event w/ Max Cameron as the instructor, friend him on FB or FetLife- you will most likely be contacted by an individual who has several fake email addresses and hides behind empty FetLife profiles. This person has made it her full time job to refuse any sort of resolution or conscious way of dealing with such an important issue and instead sabotage his events, contact attendees and hosts and has caused quite a stir in our community. She has succeeded in having Max being kicked out of suspended animation for example. The committee was not in agreement and some members were very upset with this action to remove Max and felt it was unfair and not right.
If she reaches you, she will want to tell you that Max is a predator and a consent violator and will share links of these groups.
As an event coordinator in this community, I take this very seriously and I decided to do my own research and had meetings with some important folks to find out the whole story.
I have known Max for a few years now and have relationships with some of his partners, play partners, and other community members in the scene. I have spent time with him in many different settings; socially, as a student of his classes, as a guest in his home, as an organizer for his workshops and in kink play / personal instruction. I haven't seen this inappropriate behavior or consent violations she speaks about. I want it to also be clear that I am sensitive to her experience she is reflecting yet am concerned as to why all the stories are being spread with no real backup and no interest in a resolution when given the chance.
I think it is important to add that she was an ex partner of his that was sharing letters of appreciation for awhile after the separation and at some point seemed to shift her tune. We can only speculate as to why.
These letters from her to Max may be shared publicly at some point.
The accusations do not match the character and integrity of the person I have come to know, care for and deeply respect. Her persistence in spreading stories yet refusing to go to neither neutral authorities nor come to a resolution concerns me. Max has addressed the allegations in an open letter on Facebook posted below and has also offered mediation with the support of other key members in the community. She has refused. This is a complex and delicate matter that we as a community are doing our best to find her some sort of peace and truth for all.

I encourage you to come to the cocktail meet and greet, and workshops, if the topic interests you, and form your own opinion.
I am honored to host Max here in our community and am very excited for the material!
If you have any questions or would like to know more about this matter, Max and I are both available.
I am hoping that with this community, we can bring tough topics to the light and find healing for all involved.
Sincerely, Melissa
