Knife Play: Fear and Sensation

with Laura Boyle of Ready for Polyamory

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

10/11 11am Pacific

Knife play is a really fun form of edge play (no pun intended).

Aimed at people of all skill levels, this class will cover:

• Knife play-specific safety and negotiations.
• Which questions to ask and what to keep in mind when creating your knife play scene.
• Types of knives and edged tools you can use for play and where to get them.

We will cover everything from small play-specific knives to razor sharp hatchets. We will also discuss where to find quality knives without breaking the bank. Fear play, and the psychology behind it. You can use knives for a variety of scenarios involving fear, and in this class you will learn specific techniques of how to tap into your partner's instincts to make them seem genuine.

Sensation play using different types of blades. We will explore several techniques for making sharp knives safe, and making dull knives seem sharp and dangerous. We will also talk about different areas of the body and how they respond to the sensations you can produce in them. We will cover using multiple knives at once to invoke different type of feelings in your partner.
