Holes in Friends: An introduction to needle play

Come learn the foundational skills needed for all levels of needle play, from mean/sadistic needles to decorative/artsy scenes to predicament play as well as  other pokie shenanigans. This class will focus on safety considerations, supplies, how to use them and where to get them and the technique on how to pierce someone by the end of class. Needle play carries an element of risk, learn what some of the significant risks are and how to mitigate them.  You do not need any prior kink experience and this class is for tops, bottoms and switches. You do not need any supplies(needles, sharps containers, gloves and more), these will be provided per “pair/pods”. This class aims to be inclusive of all Identities regardless of gender, sex, age, and races. I am happy to accommodate anyone's (dis)abilites to the best of my ability. 

You will benefit in this class by coming with a piercing partner(s).  If you do not bring someone to pierce, you will need to share non-human practice supplies with other classmates in pods during class and either use practice supplies provided or pierce yourself in class during demo practice time. If you are choosing to self-pierce, I suggest bringing/wearing loose shorts.
