Don’t be sad, get sadistic! In this class, we will solicit salacious suffering, through silly, sexy, and sensational schemes, showcasing how to weaponize a bottom’s brain against them to magnify, alter, and create new opportunities for discomfort, allowing you to explore sadism beyond the realm of what is physically possible. We will showcase examples, discuss safety, and discuss how to use hypnosis to explore sadistic desires. From traditional pain to emotional damage, expect to explore the multitude of methods of expressing sadism with hypnosis.
