It's a particular type of wrap (discussed in this class) that was virtually created for pulling off sexy and killer suspensions and other forms of bondage that's fun for the whole kinky family! Students will learn the capabilities and limitations of Blaise Wrap and how to begin practicing the application of a body harness and suspension basics. The presentation will be followed by a step-by-step demonstration with a lucky girl. If you want to explore one of the more "heady", more comfortable, safer and versatile form of bondage that will provide your body and your mind with varying levels of sensation, then you should attend this seminar. As part of the presentation Simon will discuss the core concepts of safety, learning your wrap, the various ways you can introduce your partner to this form of bondage, wrapping principles and techniques for both ground and air bondage, and suggestions on how to safely progress from partial ground bondage to full flying mummification suspensions. Simon will also be available during the nightly members-only parties to coach interested members of the class who wish to try out this exciting and intense form of bondage for themselves. For those of you who like intricate, sexy and flashy bondage scenes, then you won't want to miss this one! Simon's Bio: At the tender age of 19, Simon Blaise attended a BDSm event in Hawaii where he met his Mentor, a Mistress, who graciously introduced him into the BDSm lifestyle. Since his formal introduction into the BDSm lifestyle beginning in 1994, Simon has been schooled in, and continues to study, various expressions and theories of BDSm, human sexuality, and the mechanics of how men and women interact on various levels. Simon's current project underway is authoring a book explaining how a Master and slave relationship can be at its healthiest and most rewarding when an M/s relationship is primarily based in reality -- as opposed to fantasy. Simon is a proud member of Cirque de Sade an established organization of respectable Masters and istresses who have come together to increase awareness of the BDSm lifestyle and help others express the lifestyle to its fullest potential while doing so safely. After living a semi-private lifestyle for over a decade, Simon made the decision to become more public in hopes he could help others realize the BDSm way of life is not about abuse, but rather, another expression of love, care and respect that is no different than traditional heterosexual "man and wife" or homosexual "life partners"  commonly seen today. Simon is honored to be a part of constructive and much needed outreach programs like BDSm Mentors, and ultimately aims to be a part of making the BDSm lifestyle more acceptable in the minds of mainstream America, on both the private and, more importantly, governmental fronts, by helping to debunk the current stereotypes that continue to plague and force BDSm lifestylers to remain in "The Closet." Simon continues to step out of The Closet himself with the hopes that the sacrifices and persecution he has faced, and will undoubtedly face in the future, for publically living a BDSm lifestyle, will garner the same protections for the BDSm community tomorrow enjoyed today by the Homosexual and African-American communities alike.
