Expectation, the feel of cold hard steel against warm flesh, the knowledge that the steel is sharp and pointed, OH!!! The thrills that it gives. Suggestions on the type of knives and how to clean them; to make sure that the submissive knows that the steel is going to be used; how to make sure that the submissive knows how to respond; where to play gently and where to play hard; places to use the steel; places to be very careful; whether to caress or be forceful; reactions to expect and how to deal with unexpected responses; how to handle mistakes and oopses.

This class is an interactive discussion on “Edge Play” and other things we do but are afraid to talk about. As time passes and we gain more experience in the lifestyle, our thirst for knowledge and our hunger for more extreme activities can become a driving force. Even those who consider themselves to be perverted perceive many of these activities to be perverse.

It is these new experiences, fresh desires and living on the edge of the envelope, which drive us, both dominant and submissive, to reach for and taste the “Forbidden Fruit”. How we handle and cope with that taste, which can be bitter, sweet, sour or succulent, is what defines who we are and what we will become.
