Just in time for Valentine's. Nothing says romance like dunking your
sweetie in chocolate. Literally. Tonight we focus on painting warm
thick chocolate onto ourselves and each other. Then finding fun ways
to remove it. This play can be done both in large scale and in
delicate mehndi style. This is our tastiest playshop. It combines
touch, taste, smell, art, imagination, and intimacy.

We'll look at the origins of chocolate cravings. Half of women
surveyed said they'd choose chocolate over sex. Now you don't have to
choose. We look at chocolate science. And we'll see how to make
chocolate healthy for you!

We include fractional, vertical, and horizontal chocolate tastings.

We cover the practicalities of using chocolate in erotic play, and
learn how to avoid each of the potential problems. What are the most
effective tools and ingredients? We'll use mainly strong dark
chocolates, at 72%, and provide all the equipment and materials.
After a demonstration, tastings, and discussion, we'll all practice it
ourselves in a sensual, romantic setting.

This is a messy, hands-on, clothing-optional event, mainly aimed at
couples and groups that want to play and learn together. It is
suitable for beginners to advanced. Splosh indeed!

RSVPs on the fetlife event (above) requested, but not required. We
need to estimate the amount of materials to provide.

The evening has four parts (times approximate):
7 – 7:30 Brown Bag Munch
7:30 – 8:30 Presentation, Tastings and Demos
8:30 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on Chocolate Play practice
9:30 - 10:30 Open practice.

You don’t need to bring anything. Undressing is permitted and common,
but not required. This gets messy. Bringing a washcloth or change of
clothes would be good. We have sinks, but no access to a shower. You
must clean your own mess.

Partners: Chocolate play can be practiced alone or in pairs/groups.
It’s better to prearrange a lab partner, rather than try to pair up
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. RSVPs requested, but not required.
Membership not required. You don't need to wear or bring anything
special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a
sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink /
fetish / sensuality / chocolate. 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 have said:

“Best Valentine's Day gift I've every had.”

“What's so kinky about drenching your partner in warm chocolate and
goodies?”

“I thought I'd tried everything.”

"I attend every year! It just gets better."

“Tastiest class I’ve ever attended.”

“A class, a mini-party, and a munch. The best way to spend a
Thursday. I come every month, no matter what the topic.”

“Dark Desires: Chocolate Fetish” 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.
