Where were you on 10/11/12 ?
Hot Wax play can vary from a warm sensual scene, to a form of bondage,
to pain, to theater, to terror. Wax can be delivered from a lit
candle, or many ways from a melter. Each gives different sensations.
We cover all techniques, and how to choose equipment and supplies.
And we’ll debunk some widespread misconceptions. This is not related
to “Brazilian waxing” type hair removal.
You’ll learn how to play with hot wax, how to keep it safe, and how to
minimize the mess. The class is aimed at intermediate or advanced
players, but may be suitable for some beginners.
This is a hands-on playshop, not just a demo or brief sample. We’ll
teach and demonstrate the range of play, then coach you through your
own experiments. We provide complete loaner equipment. Wax can be
hard to remove from clothing. You’ll want to be careful, or
bring/wear expendable clothes, or get undressed. The evening is
clothing optional. This is a popular event.
The evening has four parts (times approximate):
7 – 7:30 Brown Bag Munch
7:30 – 8:30 Presentation and Demos
8:30 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on Wax practice
9:30 - 10:30 Open practice.
You don’t need to bring anything. Undressing is permitted and common,
but not required or assumed.
Partners: Hot Wax play can be practiced alone or in pairs/groups.
It’s better to prearrange a lab partner, but partners may also be
found during the munch period. If you want to find a suitable partner
in advance, we recommend you join and post on
http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 and/or
http://edukink.tribe.net
Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need
to wear anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and
older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather /
kink. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome. If you have
questions you may write to edukink at yahoo dot com
Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through
play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we
socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the
munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the guided hands-on
workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your
skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your
new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice,
or watch the variety of techniques that others practice.

What attendees will have said:
“Nobody teaches a hands-on wax class. Are they nuts?”
“A wonderful addition to my skills.”
“Messiest class I’ve ever attended.”
“Paideia offers an amazing array of play styles. I’m really extending
my range.”
“A class, hands-on time, and a munch. The best way to spend a
Thursday. I come every month, no matter what the topic.”

“Wet and Warmmmm – Hot Wax” is part of the Paideia series of monthly
BDSM/leather events / playshops mainly for those of intermediate or
advanced experience. The format intends to combine the best elements
of hands-on workshops, a munch, a play party, and a peer workshop.
More than a dozen topics are planned for these playshops, on both
common and exotic topics. We have a core study group who increase the
depth and breadth of their play each month, as well as have fun
together.
