It's a Cock and Ball Invasion of the most wickedly delightful sort.... Urethral sounds. Urethral sounds may look intimidating, edgy and painful, and the vision of them in use has been known to drive both men and women from the room in terror, but they aren't (quite) as hard as they look. Auburn will cover different types of dilators and sounds, safety, sterilization techniques, purchasing advice and more. We'll demonstrate multiple sounds and talk about ways to expand your play by adding electricity, vibrators and other techniques to urethral sound play. (Note: While this workshop covers male anatomy and sounds, much of the information is also useful and relevant to those who wish to explore female sounding. All are welcome to attend.)

New!  This workshop features Ma'am Cam (TM) our unique head-cam presentation technique that allows everyone in the room to enjoy the demo with amazing clarity. Now even the back row in the room can see exactly what is being demonstrated by watching the projected image.

The family jewels.... so beautiful, so delicate and oh, SO much fun to play with! Whether it be rope bondage, clamps, temperature play, weights, sensory play or all of these combined, nothing gets a male submissive's attention like Cock and Ball play! Auburn will show you how to safely explore the four basic types of CBT: Percussive, Sensory, Compression and Stretching. We’ll also share tips for dozens of inexpensive items from kitchen and bath shops, household supply and even veterinary stores that can be creatively used for CBT.

As many who have met Auburn Goddess & Her Devious may know, Devious is an avid cross-dresser, but Auburn doesn’t actually get all that hot and bothered by a guy in a dress. Yet they’ve found ways to make cross-dressing a central part of their D/s dynamic and extremely exciting for both of them. How?

Through creativity, not compromise.

First, we’ll discuss the many different reasons why male submissives may desire (or despise!) cross-dressing, and the psychological and emotional impact of being dressed for each type of cross-dresser personality. We’ll then talk about ways to take control of each type of cross-dressing male to increase the power of the Dominant and keep things ever evolving and exciting for both of you.

D/s Communication & Relationship Skills for Couples 

** New sessions being scheduled now! ** 

It's no secret that Auburn's favorite toys involve electricity, so it was natural that she'd create a whole workshop dedicated to various types of electrical CBT play. Included is a special demo of our TENS plexiglass cock press, electrically conductive bondage, multiple electrical play techniques for the cock and balls, with some prostate stimulation and anal electrodes thrown in for good measure. While this is primarily an advanced CBT class, for those who are still relatively new to electrical play, Auburn Goddess & Her Devious make it easy to understand all those technical terms....channels, frequency, polarity and more. We instead use straightforward language focused on "what you absolutely need to know" to play safely with electrical toys in this most sensitive area.

New!  This workshop features Ma'am Cam (TM) our unique head-cam presentation technique that allows everyone in the room to enjoy the demo with amazing clarity. Now even the back row in the room can see exactly what is being demonstrated by watching the projected image.

Foot and body worship that touches upon the devotional is a uniquely erotic and connecting experience. It creates intimate and intense D/s space for both partners.  Devious will discuss the various types of body worship possible to pay homage to one's Dominant. When exactly does a foot or a part of someone's body become more than just a part of that person?  We'll cover why and how to give special attention to certain parts of the body, including creative ways to perform foot/body worship and make it more special for each of you. Auburn will share from a Dominant's perspective how to become more comfortable receiving worship, plus how to relax, sit back and enjoy the experience while remaining completely in control.

The internet is a powerful tool and resource but the challenge is how to harness it effectively while on a budget, or with limited time.  Learn how to better market yourself on the Internet using existing web sites like FetLife plus what to put on a personal or professional website of your own.  Learn effective ways to turn an average website into an exciting and polished one. We'll show you techniques to turn the tedious chore of updating a website into a valuable information asset that not only comes across as more professional, but also saves you time and energy. There are also several other creative ways to leverage the Internet that will be covered in this valuable class. We'll share some of our best tips and tricks we've learned as owners of a small business consulting and web design company, Her Devious Designs.

Unlock the secrets of your partners' communication style in your M/s or D/s relationship (and learn a bit about your own as well). Learn to decode the meanings below the surface of their words and begin to understand how to improve your communications, whether for service, protocol, power exchange or play. Based on the psychological theories of Dr. Clare W. Graves and extensive research into Spiral Dynamics, this workshop explores how our individual internal values affect the way we communicate, and how we interpret and react to the words of others.

We'll discuss five specific "colors of communication" with distinct personal values:

• Red - Power and action 
• Blue - Stability and order
• Orange - Goals and opportunity
• Green - Harmony and peace
• Yellow - Independence and exploration

As a Dominant or Master/Mistress, recognizing someone's value preferences can help you better understand how to effectively communicate to motivate, reward and inspire them to greater levels of service and submission. As a submissive or slave, realizing a Dominant's underlying values can help you better express yourself and react in a positive way to their unspoken values and priorities. We'll even talk about how the different colors of communication perceive each other's values. Learn how to best avoid the misunderstandings, conflict and confusion that can occur in any relationship... it's easier when you can unlock the secret code!

Rule Number One: Always have a passion for your topic!

Yet enthusiasm + expertise do not necessarily add up to a great presenter. Learn the organizational skills of designing high quality workshops - Planning, structuring content and managing flow, as well as effectively using demos and visuals. Tips and techniques for improving facilitation skills and engaging attendees interactively will also be discussed. This workshop will maximize learning with a hands-on case study to create a sample presentation. This class is ideally 1.5 to 2.0 hours long.

You've probably heard me talking about the exciting new online training I've been presenting with a company called Power Play Academy recently.  If you are interested in participating, it would be great to see you enrolled in one of our 2010 classes! Just click the Learn More buttons below for each course to download a course syllabus and view enrollment links, or just email me with any questions you might have.

In addition, I wanted to let you know that for courses Devious and I will be teaching at Power Play Academy, a portion of the tuition you pay will be donated to selected BDSM organizations at our request. PPA will donate a share of tuition to the Female Artists of Domination (FAD) and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) on our behalf in 2010. If you choose to enroll in any of our classes at PPA, portions of your tuition directly benefit the North Carolina BDSM community and NCSF.

Both Auburn and Devious have vanilla situations, such as Auburn's career and Devious' biological family, that they choose to keep discreetly separate from their 24/7 Mistress/slave relationship. Thus, they've learned how to establish and maintain important, relationship-affirming protocols and rituals in vanilla settings as part of their M/s. In this interactive workshop they'll talk about how to identify and design key protocols that are meaningful to you that can be performed virtually anywhere, anytime, without raising a vanilla eyebrow.

Opening a door for your female Dominant, is it just chivalry, good manners or part of your protocol?  Do you really have to call your owner before buying that candy bar?  Protocols and rituals can take many forms and can be established for any kind of interaction - from vanilla settings to the dungeon, in person or long distance.  Come explore new ways to put protocols and ritual into your everyday routine. This workshop focuses on how to create and build your own personal protocols and rituals, looking into your relationship and history together for meaningful symbolism that will reinforce and reaffirm your own dynamic.

Delve with us into the fascinating world of sexual control as a Female Dominant, well beyond simple chastity. Auburn will discuss various elements of creating sexual control over a male submissive - mental, physical and spiritual - and how to incorporate and utilize sexual control in your D/s or M/s relationship. While some BDSM technique discussion will be included, this workshop focuses much more on the psychological and relationship aspects of controlling a male submissive sexually.

Note: This workshop can be adapted to fit the depth and type of experience you wish to create. It can be an introductory session of approximately 1.5 hours or expanded to create a half-day seminar complete with team building exercises.

Based on the psychological theories of Dr. Clare W. Graves and extensive research into Spiral Dynamics, this workshop explores how our individual internal values affect the way we communicate, and how we interpret and react to the words of others. Including information not normally available outside of expensive corporate training programs, this workshop brings team effectiveness training to the alternative lifestyle community.

We'll discuss five specific "colors of communication" with distinct personal values:

• Red - Power and action 
• Blue - Stability and order
• Orange - Goals and opportunity
• Green - Harmony and peace
• Yellow - Independence and exploration

Our lifestyle is filled with challenging leadership situations... volunteer only led groups, frequently elected boards, personal alliances, histories and a mix of powerful personalities! This workshop can help community teams, organizations and leaders better interact and value what everyone brings to the table on a team. While "like is drawn to like", teams that are all the same "color" can end up spinning their wheels in frustration - it's actually counter-productive to not have conflicting views and values included. Having representation of each value on a team, as well as an understanding and respect for each other's communication values, can lead to greater effectiveness, group stability and growth. Learn how to best avoid the misunderstandings, conflict and confusion that can occur on the best of teams... it's easier when communicating in color!

Artful coordination combined with sensory overload, co-topping can be a heady experience for both the lucky bottom and the two (or more!) Tops involved. We'll show you how to set up a successful co-topping scene so it becomes a graceful and elegant dance of sensation, rather than a disjointed and confusing experience for the bottom.

Butt plugs, strap-ons and lube, oh my!  Anal play can be a difficult sexual interest to explore if one partner is not quite so eager to go there, but there are ways to find a happy medium! This workshop covers many aspects of anal play: butt plugs, vibrators and insertables, harnesses and strap-ons, different anal play techniques and safety, choosing the right toy materials, plus how to build on the natural D/s feelings that anal play can bring out. Auburn and Devious have very different levels of interest in this area, yet when anal play is brought into the bedroom or dungeon now, they each have found a way to get what they want and need from it. This well-rounded workshop is part BDSM technique, part sex class, part D/s, part relationship negotiation skills and all anal!

By popular demand from previous attendees, Auburn and Devious now offer a Part Two of their highly rated Five Styles of Dominance workshop. In this very interactive session, attendees learn in detail how to apply their knowledge of the Five Styles to many different aspects of relationships. From meeting and negotiating with a potential new partner, to addressing conflict and discord in a long-term M/s or D/s relationship, we'll cover how to get below the surface to truly understand the motivations and needs of both yourself and your partner(s). Most important of all, we'll delve deep into the unspoken needs that if unmet over time, can destroy a M/s or D/s relationship and lead to the relationship shattering phrase "You're just not Dominant(submissive) enough."

Topping is fun and enjoyable, but Dominance is full of complexities. So how exactly does one take a submissive underhand and lovingly guide them, if one has never done so before? How does one go about creating a lasting and exciting M/s or D/s relationship without asking your eager submissive/slave for (too many) hints and tips, and thus ruin the powerful aura of being a firm and confident Dominant who is comfortably in charge?  How do you take a new submissive with a BDSM checklist clutched in their hand and decide what to do next?

Educator…or Entertainer?

Becoming a polished presenter goes well beyond a snappy workshop title and bio. Uncovering a unique niche and identifying your personal style, then using that knowledge to develop, deliver and improve presentations is essential. We’ll also talk about communicating with event organizers, creating a “personal brand” and community professionalism. After all, as volunteer presenters we may not be compensated (much) for what we do, but that’s no excuse not to be a professional!

The Seductive World of Female Domination

** New Sessions being scheduled now! **

Note: This workshop can also be presented as a speech or keynote to invoke thought and discussion regarding community leadership and current challenges within the alternative sexuality communities. The abbreviated lecture version is approximately 30 - 40 minutes. The full workshop is 1.25 to 1.5 hours, and can be expanded to include breakout exercises and additional interactive discussion time.

At some point in their kinky lives, everyone in the BDSM community has had to face a critical question: Who in their vanilla lives to tell about their alternative interests, whether to tell them a little or a lot, plus exactly when and how to tell them. One of the hardest conversations you might ever have could be telling a loved one, family member, spouse or partner about your secret interests - especially if you've hidden that side of yourself for years, perhaps even decades.

We believe that it's a very different experience to take a vanilla relationship and twist it by adding BDSM than it is to take a relationship that began Day One as D/s and begin to incorporate vanilla life and everyday demands into it. It's a delicate balancing act no matter who you are, but the challenges and issues are very different depending on where and how you began, even if you ultimately are trying to reach the same goal of a "24/7" M/s or D/s lifestyle. The same things that will seem very normal to two people who began their interaction "vanilla" can cause heartache, disappointment and disruption in the dynamic of two people who began together as Dominant and submissive (and certainly vice versa).
