Impact Inside the Vacuum by Master Lily
Intense Bondage~ Latex vacuum bondage is currently one of the most dynamic and versatile forms of restraint in the BDSM lifestyle. However, most people don't know where to start. How to set them up, how to use them as risk awarely and harm preventatively as possible, how to properly clean, care for, and even repair them themselves within reason; and how to make the most of their experience with them in general. Come and learn how you can incorporate vacuum bondage into your scenes. From impact play and which types of implements are or aren't safe to be used on the Latex Vac-bondage Furniture, to sensual temperature play, to sensory deprivation, and bondage to CBT - this course is aimed at showing you how to tailor-make a vacuum bondage scene that fits your kinks. Experience various types of toys - including a vacbed and vacuum cube and see how two dimensional and three-dimensional vacuum bondage can fundamentally alter your scene dynamics, as well as changing the feel of the impact you experience. If you want to participate, then please come comfortably dressed, please do not wear metal or other items that will rip the latex, and please arrive without any products on your skin or hair that may be able to damage the latex. Also, please consult your medical provider to ensure that you don't have a latex allergy prior to participating in this class! This course will be both discussion based and hands-on.
