About This Event
The sidearm flick is, in Andi’s opinion, one of the most variable and diverse whip techniques in interpersonal play. Once mastered, it allows you to explore a wide range of variations in distance, intensity and target areas. And even before that we’ll cover save(r) ways to start (almost) directly in engaging playfully with your consenting partner person as this is intended to be a couples workshop.
All participants will receive a professionally made (paracord) bullwhip for the duration of the workshop!
We’ll cover:
• A bit of theory and safety
• The basic sidearm flick
• Body wraps
• Variations
