The Impossible Choice: Predicaments and Playful Mindfucks

February 13 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

The Impossible Choice: Predicaments and Playful Mindfucks
Predicaments can be a great way to amplify your scene, putting the bottom in a lose-lose situation and ending in a win-win for everyone involved. Often referred to as being stuck between a rock and a hard place, this type of play forces the bottom to choose between 50 shades of “oh, shit.” We will explore different kinds of predicament scenarios, incorporating impact play, bondage, mindfucks, sensory play and other styles into your scenes. You will learn how to engage in predicaments while risk aware, with a focus on risk assessment, communication, aftercare and negotiating these scenarios while still keeping the bottom on their toes. You will come away being able to bring predicaments into your play, and craft narratives that are exciting and in your risk profiles. The workshop will feature demonstrations of multiple predicaments, while discussing different ways of adapting them to create something new for you and your partners play.

Presenters

MxJosiePosie (They/Them) is a queer, neurodivergent, gleefully sadistic asshole in the community since 2018 and is a Co-host of Spanktuary and occasional educator and DM. Josie is a true switch who thrives on mindfucks and predicaments – the more tangled, the better! They enjoy both sides of the slash for impact, rope, rough body play, and sharp & pointy things. Josie graduated from Bondage Soup in 2022 as a bottom and 2023 as a top. They advocate for body positivity and inclusivity in rope. Josie believes strongly that all people that want to be in rope belong in rope and seeks to find adaptations to fit for each human they tie.

Born and raised in Portland, Cinder (He/Him) is a queer, sadistic, switchy top deeply passionate about BDSM and kink education since discovering the kink community in 2018. He brings his excitement about kink into his laid back teaching style and enjoys sharing not just what he is doing, but the why behind it. Cinder delights in playful sadism through rope bondage, impact, rough body play, sharp things, and dad jokes. As the owner of Whip City Floggers, he enjoys making floggers and other delightfully mean toys to achieve these ends. Cinder can often be found engaging in community service through DMing, tastings and event hosting, as well as nerding out about various aspects of BDSM. As a 2022 Bondage Soup cohort graduate, he actively contributes to community growth and skill development in and outside of his local communities.
