So many classes focus on skills for tops, but what can you do to be a better bottom? Join Kiwi and Moonie, a pair of historically bottomy switches who’ve contended with this from both sides of the slash, to discuss how to work on your bottoming skills for yourself and tops you may play with. This class is geared towards beginners and bottoms, but we believe the skills we are sharing could benefit anyone. Bring questions, suggestions, and a mind open to learning!
Kiwi is a graduate student with the Science of BDSM research team. They have been practicing, studying, and presenting on kink-related topics for six years to academic and BDSM audiences including Kinky Kollege, the Master/slave Conference, Leather Leadership Conference, and the Charmed!, and serve as a member of the Beguiled Conference Committee. Academically, they focus on consent and identity from an intersectional queer perspective. In practice, they identify as a switch who enjoys hypnosis, anything to do with leather, and discovering new fun ways to titillate the mind and body with pleasure and pain.
Moonie has been with the hypnosis community for a bunch of years now, and has taught and demo bottomed at various conventions across the states. They love squeeing over people's reactions and finding interesting new ways to mess with the mind. In practice, they identify as a genderfluid sadomasochistic switch who enjoys hypnosis, exhibitionism, objectification, genderfuckery, boots, leather, and anything to do with control.
