-2- Note from the Board Welcome, and thank you for attending KinkyCon XI!

KinkyCon is a grassroots, locally-focused event. Most of our presenters are from our own kinky community. Many of our vendors are folks you know, and they offer their wares at fair prices with exceptional quality, and local service. Our volunteers are from the local community, and give their time to make the Con run as smoothly as possible. They are the reason for the warm, welcoming feel throughout the weekend.

We are here to make sure you have a great experience at KinkyCon. If you have any questions, concerns, or problems, please talk to one of the KinkyCon staff members right away. We will do everything we can to help on-the-spot.

Have fun, play safe, and open yourself up to new ideas. That is the essence of a great KinkyCon experience.

-3- General Event Rules

We potentially share the hotel with other guests, children, groups, and hotel staff, all of whom deserve our respect. Our commitment to the hotel is, in essence, to make sure that no one has a reason to feel uncomfortable with our presence. We strive to build a solid, trusting relationship with the hotel, and as long as we keep to ourselves, we hope they will be happy to provide a space for us. Accordingly, here are some things you need to agree to.

You must respect hotel guests and staff by: • Wearing “Family Friendly” attire in all hallways, public, and common areas of the hotel. • Keeping kink conversation out of hearing range of hotel guests and staff. • Not approaching other hotel guests to ask them if they are part of our event. • Respecting others’ privacy. What is done/said/seen here, stays here. • Not giving out detailed personal information about people in attendance.

You must: • Wear your wristband and ID badge at all times when in the Con spaces, in both the hotel and conference center. • Familiarize yourself with and follow the cellphone and photography policies. • Familiarize yourself with and follow the rules for each space.* • Follow the instructions of KinkyCon security and staff. *Rules for each space will be posted inside, near the door.

“Family Friendly” is much more conservative than “Street Legal.”

Understand that there is no play or disruptive behavior of any kind allowed in the hallways, public, and common areas of the hotel. This includes: • Wearing or displaying rope or fetish gear,* including hoods, masks, toys, or leashes. • Any sort of BDSM play, impact play, spanking, groping, biting, leading on a leash etc. • Loud noise or any behavior that might be disturbing or offensive to hotel guests or staff. *Special exception for collars. If you wear your collar to the mall, feel free to wear it here!

-4- There is a strict NO PHOTOGRAPHY, NO RECORDING DEVICES, and limited cell phone usage policy. You must keep your phone silenced and step outside for calls.

There is no sexual activity allowed at the Con or the party. • “Sexual activity” is defined here as: body parts or toys inside of other body parts, hand/oral to genital contact, or using toys like vibrators on genitals. Exceptions: Kissing and contact that is required by the nature of the class or presentation.

Alcohol and drugs are prohibited at the con and at the parties, and anyone appearing intoxicated or under the influence will be immediately ejected from the Con.

Failure to abide by these rules will result in being ejected from the Con with no refund.

Restrooms: For gender-nonconforming individuals, just walking through the door of a public restroom can be stressful, and many have experienced harassment in restrooms. We ask everyone to respect the right of others to use the restroom of their choice. We appreciate your help in ensuring that all persons have a positive experience while attending our event. It is important that we work proactively to create safer spaces for ALL people whenever and wherever we can. • If you prefer a GENDER SPECIFIC restroom, they are located in the hotel, on the first floor and lower level, near the elevator. • If you prefer an ALL-GENDER restroom, they are located in the Conference Center, behind registration.

Food policy: • There is NO outside food allowed in the Conference Center. • There are vending machines located in the hotel. • You may bring food into the hotel classrooms, but please be respectful of those around you. • To protect the privacy of all Con attendees, we respectfully request that any food deliveries be picked up in the lobby of the hotel.

-7- Security, Health, & Safety At KinkyCon, we take all of these very seriously, and we proactively seek out new ways to up our game in each area. At KinkyCon XI, we have some important resources that will benefit our attendees, volunteers, and staff.

Security – The KinkyCon Staff and all of our volunteers are our first line of defense when it comes to security at the con. We have volunteers at every unlocked entrance to the hotel and conference center so that unwanted “guests” are not able to enter. As both a takeover and a private event, we are able to control access to KinkyCon XI in a way that we never could in previous years.

Health – We have partnered with Operation Hammond to provide Medical Aid and Social Care. They will be on site all weekend providing medical services and social care. You can request their services 24 hours a day. Or you can visit them in person at one of the First Aid Stations, located in the registration area in conference center, or the Volunteer Lounge (Board Room) in the hotel. All services are 100% discreet, private and confidential.

If you have an emergency, you can get help, 24 hours a day, by visiting Operation Hammond, or by contacting any KinkyCon volunteer or Staff member.

Safety – Dungeon Monitors will be on hand at both nighttime parties. AdelineKindred and RiverMei are taking the lead on this very important aspect of KinkyCon, and will be on site all weekend to manage the DM crew.

Volunteers and staff are on duty during all the hours that KinkyCon is open. If you have any kind of problem, please bring it to our attention, and we will work to gather the best resources at our disposal to help resolve the problem.

Consent is a huge topic at every public event, and at KinkyCon we take it very seriously. We operate on an ONLY YES MEANS YES basis. If you feel that your consent has been violated at any time during KinkyCon, please contact someone on the KinkyCon Staff, or at Operation Hammond, for the quickest response. You can also contact any volunteer and they will radio one of us to respond to your location.

If your consent is violated, verbally tell a play monitor or clearly marked delegate of the event organizer immediately. Violation of the consent policy may result in expulsion from the event or group. No one is exempt from the rules. -8- Consent Policy 1. No touching people or personal property without permission.

2. Treat everyone as an equal, and only engage in verbal role-play if you have permission. For example, don’t call someone as “Mistress” or “slave” or any other role-play word unless you’ve asked if it’s okay.

3. Negotiate the scope of your scene prior to the activities. Before the scene begins, it must be clear that the bottom has given consent to the proposed acts.

4. Each participant is responsible to make sure everyone involved has the mental and emotional ability to give informed and voluntary consent during their negotiation for the scene.

5. Anyone can withdraw consent, make a nonverbal safesign or use the universal safeword “Red” at any time. Once consent is withdrawn, the activity must stop immediately. Partners need to share what safewords or safesigns are being used to prevent consent violations.

6. The top is legally responsible for stopping the activities at any suggestion that the bottom has withdrawn consent. The bottom is ethically responsible for being clear and unequivocal when withdrawing consent.

7. Depending on all participants’ state of mind, we recommend that you don’t renegotiate in the middle of your scene. When a person is in subspace or otherwise not in a clear state of mind, you may not have informed consent even though they agree in the heat of the moment.

8. If your consent is violated, verbally tell a play monitor or clearly marked delegate of the event organizer immediately. Violation of the consent policy may result in expulsion from the event or group. No one is exempt from the rules.

9. Disclaimer: Every reasonable effort will be made to enforce this policy, but this organization makes no representations or guarantees about its ability to do so, and all participants/attendees retain full, sole responsibility for their safety and the safety of others with whom they interact.

Saturday 8:30-10:00pm in Rose Solarium Q&A with Bella Vendetta to follow -10- Photo Lounge Hosted by AardvarkFetish - Coner & knot_head Hours: Fri 9:00pm-12:00am, Sat 11:00am-1:00pm, Sat 5:00pm-12:00am, Sun 12:00pm-2:00pm Location: Marquis

Looking for photography tips? All dressed up for the nighttime parties, and want a photograph to commemorate the occasion? Want to spruce up that profile picture? Attend a class, stop by for tips, a place to grab a quick snap, or watch others do the same. The only photo-friendly space at the con, Coner and knot_head are set up to help you with YOUR photography! Coner is a student of photography, a working professional, and has been a teacher of photography for over thirty years. His specialties include exquisite lighting and telling a story with an image. Recently, he has become well known for “Predicament in Peril” cliffhanger style imagery. When it comes to bondage, he is a non-traditional, out-of- the-box (tie) rigger. It is all about function with his rope, and simple solutions to rigging puzzles...so you can get on with the fun! Although knot_head began with Japanese style rope, he quickly gravitated to the strict, clean, efficient, Western style of riggers like Matt Williams, Jay Edwards, Lew Rubens and Claire Adams. For him, it IS about the simple, strict, positional bondage, and “what happens once she.” Challenging predicaments are his favorite. In the past few years, he caught the photography bug, and loves showing kinksters how easy it can be to get a quality shot with their gear, in almost any setting. Together they formed AardvarkFetish in 2013, and since then, they have been making bondage and photography simple and enjoyable for anyone willing to learn.

-11- Friday Night Erotic Art Show

Friday 7:00-10:00pm in Granite

We have so many talented artists in our community who rarely get to display their erotic work in a gallery atmosphere. At the KinkyCon Art Show, they have the opportunity to show off their talent.

Join us in Granite, on the second floor of the hotel (upstairs from the main lobby), from 7:00-10:00pm on Friday, for KinkyCon’s Erotic Art Show.

My erotic art form uses charcoal mainly, with some color pastel accents. I love to capture the human body in these erotic interludes, mainly with a mixture of realistic and abstract flair.

Elettaria Elettaria traces her artistic roots through generations of creative women in her family. Her academic foundation is in the Contemporary Crafts Movement, being trained as a metalsmith, primarily working in non-ferrous metals. She also enjoys creative endeavors in ceramics, textiles, and other mediums.

She happily resides in the woods of central New Hampshire with the best Master in the whole wide world. Other artistic interests include photography, stained glass and fiber arts.

Straight Shooter http://sweetvisionphotography.com/portfolio Photographing people and the things they do has been a lifelong passion and sometimes career. On display at the KinkyCon art show will be some rope work and suspensions done recently. violetbee Violet Bee is a scientist by day, sarcastic, right brained, kinkster by night! Local to Manchester, she’s been involved in the community for a few years now, and although she put her artistic outlets to the side for more than a decade, she’s now looking forward to exploring, and sharing it again with all of you.

Wiseguy Art Never walking into work, having the feeling that I’m wasting away, pushed me to explore better options for me in the art world. At the KinkyCon Art show, on display will be a variety of different airbrush pieces I have been fortunate enough to paint.

A Whirlwind Tour of Impact Play Presented by: Orion Saturday 10:45am-12:15pm - Granite Track: Impact - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On Orion’s Whirlwind Tour of Impact Play is your chance to explore, discuss, experiment, and practice technique (or receive impact) across a sample of devilish implements in a controlled, educational environment. If you are coming as a single, please speak to Orion to see if you can be paired. Think of this workshop as a guided tour of things which go SPANK, SWAT, CRAAACK, WHAM, THUD, SWISH, and WHAP. The class will vote on implements of interest, and we will cover at least 4 of the following: spanking, other hand impact, paddles, crops, floggers, canes and rods, dragon’s tails, and devilish rattan implements. Participants will learn construction and wielding techniques, impact vocabulary (sting versus thud, etc.) safety, aftercare, and can engage in supervised practice (giving and/ or receiving) at least 50% of the time. Everyone will have the chance to work with something new, and there will be implements available for practice. Bring to class: Yoga mats, blankets and extra padding. Toys and/or blindfolds are great as well. Wear clothing you are comfortable in, with options for layering on or off.

A Whirlwind Tour of the Gender Spectrum Presented by: Wintersong Saturday 10:45am-12:15pm - Rose Solarium Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion It sure isn’t a binary world out there! The range of people’s experiences, identities, and presentations of gender/sexuality are extraordinary, and yes, sometimes confusing. In this workshop, Wintersong will help illuminate the myriad of ways people experience and express their gender identity, with an eye towards deepening interpersonal understanding and relations. Intended primarily for people new to many of these concepts, there will be lots of time for questions and discussion.

All About Head Presented by: MzBugz Saturday 5:00-6:30pm - Woodside Track: Impact - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Demonstration In the lifestyle, much of our play is about impacting the body; we tend to concentrate in large part on the thighs to the breast, sometimes the feet of course...but what about the neck and the head? This class will focus on the sensations from pleasant to painful and a host of others -34- in between, while focusing on just the neck and head as the canvas. Let’s see just how much fun can be had from sensual touch to safe impact. This class will incorporate some of the typical implements from a toy bag as well as many items you may not ever think to place in there. Asking, and Why it’s So Scary Presented by: soumise Saturday 9:00-10:30am - Rose Solarium Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion Many submissives have a problem asking for what they need or want. It took me a long time to be able to do this in my personal life, even though I’ve never had a problem with expressing my needs in my career. When first entering the D/s lifestyle, I found it even harder to ask for what I needed or wanted because I thought it meant I wasn’t submissive enough. The goal of this workshop is to help you learn more about yourself, your needs and wants, and be able to effectively communicate these with your partner; why we need to be able to ask for what we need and want; when to express these needs to our Dominant or Master for the best outcome; what it is we are really looking for; how to ask; what happens if the answer is No?; and how to avoid feeling taken advantage of in, or resentful of, the power exchange dynamic. Balancing Play Partners and Relationships Presented by: Switch Jake Saturday 1:30-3:00pm - Granite Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion BDSM offers us a very odd opportunity. We have our single partner. However, sometimes a single partner doesn’t fulfill all of our kinks. Therefore play partners are needed to fill the gaps in what we need as kinksters. This is NOT a class on how to pick up an exclusive partner, but more how to balance a romantic partner and a play partner. This is more how to manage different people to make everyone happy. Basic Suspension Presented by: Lord Percival Saturday 5:00-6:30pm - Camelot Court Track: Rope - Audience: Intermediate - Class Type: Hands On This is your introduction to suspension. We go over safety, the whys and wherefores, and an understanding that suspensions are often unique to the individual being suspended. We will work out and execute a good beginning suspension for each of the folks in the room, and examine why those suspensions were chosen, and how to make them workable. Suspensions can be comfortable, sadistic, or life- changing. Please, have strong floor-rope skills before joining this class. Bring to class: At least 7 6-7mm rope bundles (more if the person being tied is larger); suspension ring -35- BDSM Exploratorium Presented by: Bo Blaze Friday 7:00-8:30pm - Camelot Court Track: Impact - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On Bestselling author of the book “50 Shades of Curious: BDSM for Beginners,” and Alternative Life Coach, Bo Blaze, PCC will be your guide. Bo will show you some basic “101 techniques” on floggers, whips, canes, paddles and other implements of erotic torment. Basic safety tips including, “where and where not to hit” and all the Q & A you can think of will be addressed.

The Beauty of Feet Presented by: MzBugz Sunday 4:15-5:45pm - Woodside Track: Other - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion It is the goal of this class to shed some light on the taboos and myths of foot fetishism. As the presenter, my goal will be to evoke discussion regarding foot fetishism through a variety of formats, such as quick demos, raising discussion topics, and sharing my personal experiences. Although foot fetishism varies from person to person, there are commonalities, and we will discuss many of the reasons why some individuals find feet so attractive. This class is for all levels of experience with foot fetishism, especially those unsure but curious.

Being a Good Rope Top Presented by: Giotto Saturday 10:45am-12:15pm - Crown Court Track: Rope - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On There are lots of good classes on improving one’s skills as a rope bottom. There are tons of classes on how to tie. This class puts forth the other things that a rigger can do to improve the tying experience for rigger and model, i.e. Establishing a connection before, during, and after a tie. Reading the non-verbal cues of a model. Body positioning while tying for the rigger and the model. Being a strong lead in this dance of rope. Bring to class: At least one hank of rope

Beyond Basic Rope Bondage Presented by: Lew Rubens Saturday 3:15-4:45pm - Camelot Court Track: Rope - Audience: Advanced Beginner - Class Type: Hands On Want to learn shortcuts that make tying easier? Could you benefit from learning some handling tips and tricks that will make your bondage more aesthetically pleasing with crisp clean lines? Then this class is for you. You’ll learn some techniques that even many advanced riggers don’t know! This class is especially valuable for folks who want to photograph their finished products. You’ll learn various elbow ties -36- (including stretching exercises to increase your bottom’s flexibility), a quick and easy hair tie that won’t pull off, a highly versatile, classic bowline, dual color ties, and more! Bring to class: At least (4) 30ft, (4) 15ft, and (4) 7.5ft lengths of rope; a partner

Beyond Bottoming Presented by: Natalie Prioness Saturday 9:00-10:30am - Granite Track: Other - Audience: Intermediate - Class Type: Lecture As timid new bottoms, we learn to lay down and get hit. As we grow, we learn skills that help us to identify the good tops, what we need to to do stay safe, and how to negotiate. Essentially, we learn how to get to the ‘lie down’ part faster and more efficiently. Those skills are crucial for getting past the frenzy that new bottoms experience, but they are essentially a baseline that all bottoms need. In this class, we will explore what it takes to step up your game beyond gleeful target or clear negotiator, into the area of masterful bottom. So come and learn what it takes to bring your bottoming from competent to exemplary.

Cathartic Flogging Presented by: Thista Minai Sunday 11:45am-1:15pm - Crown Court Track: Impact - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Demonstration Catharsis is a process of release, purification, and relief, whereby one is rid of repressed emotions and energies. Come learn how flogging can elicit mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual catharsis. This workshop does not focus on technical flogging skills, so please have some knowledge of the fundamentals.

Chasing Skyla: Realities of Being Stalked and Outed Presented by: Skyla Sunday 2:30-4:00pm - Crown Court Track: Other - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Lecture It is a normal Monday afternoon. You are busy getting through your to-do list at work. Suddenly, the HR manager is at your cubicle. She wants you to come to her office, immediately. She informs you that everyone that you work with has been sent naked pictures of you from your Fetlife account. They have come via email. The CEO has seen them, your co-workers have seen them, everyone has. They have seen you doing kinky acts, read your fetish list, seen your writings. All of the blood rushes out of your face and you turn white as a ghost. You quickly pack your things and run from the office. You are living your worst nightmare. What now? I experienced that and more during my harrowing encounter with a stalker. My hope is to share what I have learned in order to effect change and understanding for stalking victims. This class will cover what to expect from the police, the -37- process for filing restraining orders in NH, professional and reputation management, and a bit about cyber security. If you have ever told someone to, ‘just get a restraining order,’ this class is for you. If you have ever wondered how the local police might respond to this in regard to the new Revenge Porn Law, this class is for you. Note to Attendees: This class may be emotionally triggering for victims of stalking.

The Chaste and the Keyholder Presented by: Switch Jake Sunday 11:45am-1:15pm - Woodside Track: Other - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Demonstration Chastity is a unique form of play and requires a very special type of relationship. This class covers various types of devices used, and contains a personal account of how chastity feels from a male perspective. This class will feature various devices used in chastity and audience members are encouraged to come forward to demonstrate their devices, explain their relationships, examine and touch the devices or recount their experiences with chastity.

The Classics Presented by: Lew Rubens Sunday 10:00-11:30am - Camelot Court Track: Rope - Audience: Advanced Beginner - Class Type: Hands On Learn why these classic ties have stood the test of time as favorite rope bondage positions. Step up your skills in this intermediate “hands on” rope bondage class. You’ll learn: the most basic spread- eagle positions, the hogtie, frog tie, ball tie and many more. Bring to class: At least (4) 30ft, (4) 15ft, and (4) 7.5ft lengths of rope; a partner

Connection Through Rope Presented by: Gigi and Lilith Saturday 5:00-6:30pm - Granite Track: Rope - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On Rope is about so much more than knots! Connecting with your rope partner is so important. This class is less about the technical application of rope and more about building and creating good energy and connection with your partner before, during, and after play. We will go over the importance of touch, pace, atmosphere, and energy. Good ways to warm up and start your scene, how to create the reactions you want in your bottom, and how to bring your scene to an end to provide aftercare. This class will require a partner if you wish to participate since it includes partnered stretching and breathing exercises. Bring to class: 3-4 hanks of rope, yoga mat or blanket for comfort (Optional) -38- The Dance of Anticipatory Service Presented by: Flitter Saturday 3:15-4:45pm - Rose Solarium Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On This class will help explain the different kinds of services, with its main focus on Anticipatory Service. We will find what services speak to you as a sub and as a Dom, and how to implement them into your relationships. We will discover how to give service to any Dom to make them feel like they are number one, and feel like you know them inside and out. We will talk about how to receive service from the submissive to make them melt with infatuation for the Dom. Come and learn what I like to call “The Dance of Anticipatory Service,” and take your relationships to that next level that you always wanted but couldn’t figure out how to do. We will have demonstrations on coffee/tea service, cigar service, cooking, and table service as well as community/play party service. There will be time to have hands on experience with Anticipatory Service. At the end of the class you will have a better understanding of what services you want to explore, how to give and receive service, and have some practice with “The Dance of Anticipatory Service.”

The DeTails of Flogging Presented by: Bo Blaze Sunday 2:30-4:00pm - Granite Track: Impact - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Lecture This is a great beginner to intermediate class taught by Bo Blaze, author of the book “50 Shades of Curious” and co-owner of the popular flogger company detailstoys.com. This class was the inspiration for their instructional DVD of the same name. Bo will show you why he feels specific throws are less important than getting comfortable with your flogger and yourself. You’ll learn techniques to build confidence and accuracy, and get a good overview on various hides and materials, which along with throws and angles, all come together to create both stingy and thuddy sensations. Live demonstrations and important basics like, “where and where not to hit” will round out this fun, laid- back but very informative look at flogging. Bring to class: 1-2 floggers, if you have them

Developing Compersion and Kindness in Multi-Faceted Relationships Presented by: -Iya- Sunday 11:45am-1:15pm - Granite Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion Compersion is a positive emotional response to a loved one’s other relationship(s). Often described as the opposite of jealousy, it is not often our first (or second or third) response when our partner(s) begin new relationships, but it can be developed and cultivated. In this -39- workshop, a traditional Buddhist meditation called the Metta Bhavana will form the basis for our practice of developing kindness towards ourselves, our partner(s), and those for whom we interact in our multi-faceted lives. Participants need not be in a current relationship; everyone is welcome to attend. Buddhist principles will be discussed in relation to the meditation and concepts, but one does not need to be a Buddhist to practice this.

Developing your Risk Profile Presented by: brazenprofessor Sunday 4:15-5:45pm - Granite Track: Rope - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Group Activity Rope involves risk. Both the fibers we use and the people we tie with are imperfect. We can’t control everything that happens in a scene. But we can make informed choices about which types of risk we may be more willing, or entirely unwilling, to assume. Risk profiles are highly individual creatures; what seems reasonable to one person may not make sense for another. Class participants will actively work through a framework identifying the various levels of risk involved with different types of ties and suspensions. The purpose of the class is to encourage participants to develop their individual risk profile, and to consider how that profile can function as a foundation for play and communication. This class is taught from a bottom’s perspective, but will also be useful for tops interested in thinking through and developing a framework for what types of risk they are comfortable in engaging. Though focused on rope-related risk, those interested in impact or edge play may also find the framework to be valuable in their kink activities.

Electrical Play Presented by: Switch Jake Saturday 6:45-8:15pm - Granite Track: Other - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Demonstration Actively playing with something your parents told you not to: electricity. Includes toys and safety. Additionally, includes a demo during the class. For those of us who stuck our fingers into electrical outlets and liked it, electricity can be used in a multitude of ways - both pain, and pleasure.

Embody Sexy Presented by: xxmindy Saturday 5:00-6:30pm - Rose Solarium Track: Other - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Group Activity This transformational workshop incorporates dynamic group work and conscious interactive conversation to help us dismantle external myths of what it truly means to embody sexy. We will connect through universal experiences and confront invisible barriers as a group to -40- engage and address the inner critic. This is naked, vulnerable work (metaphorically speaking), but our goal is a real time shift towards more kindness and compassion towards ourselves and one another, and more agency within our own lives and in our own bodies. If you are willing, I can take you there.

Escape Challenge Presented by: AardvarkFetish - Coner & knot_head Saturday 3:15-4:45pm - Marquis Track: Rope - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Group Activity Discussion on safety and negotiation, and several increasingly difficult rigging challenges where your bottom actively tries to escape. Fun and instructive for any level rigger and bottom.

Exploring Power Exchange (AKA: D/s and M/s 101) Presented by: Sir Vice Sunday 2:30-4:00pm - Rose Solarium Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion Power exchange dynamics cover a spectrum of options from everyday casual interactions, to simple play, and long-term relationships. This workshop will increase understanding of the presence and use of power exchange in casual and enduring relationships, in speech and body language, and how it plays in psycho-emotional experiences. Partners are welcome but not required.

Fundamentals of Fetish Fotography Presented by: AardvarkFetish - Coner & knot_head Friday 7:00-8:30pm - Marquis Track: Other - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On Let’s get back to basics. It’s NOT about gear. It IS about composition, angle, light... and getting the image you envisioned. Whether that’s a fun memento of a fun scene at home, or you want to McGuyver something more involved, you CAN get some pretty great images using...WHATEVER YOU HAVE!! *No Camera Needed (PHONES WELCOME!!!) *No Experience Needed (Less bad habits to unlearn) *No Special lighting gear needed. Just show up ready to learn and experiment. This workshop is a chance to work through your settings, and other fundamental features, like white balance. We discuss basics like angles, composition, LOTS of hands on, with YOUR gear and seeing how you can start crafting some better images. Including: 1) Flattery gets you everywhere - tips on posing, composition, angles, lighting, clothing, ties, and even lens length to flatter your subject and give her confidence (even on the off chance she is not perfect). Setting reasonable expectations: anyone can put a mean tie on a girl, and take an unflattering shot. Fine, if that’s what she wants. But do it on purpose in a good way, instead of accidentally from lack of skill. 2) Classic faces in fetish photography- we only really shoot about -41- three classic face angles. Make YOUR kinky fetish pics more engaging by getting these angles and looks. Basics on how to light them and details to get each right. 3) Posing tips and working with models. Bring to class: Your phone, or DSLR if you have one

Giotto’s Performance Takate Kote Presented by: Giotto Saturday 1:30-3:00pm - Camelot Court Track: Rope - Audience: Intermediate - Class Type: Hands On Learn to tie Giotto’s own fusion TK that he uses in his many performances. This three rope TK is well structured and easy to tension properly. It is quick(ish) to tie and has been tested under fire as one of the most sustainable suspension chest harnesses that many rope models have encountered. *Prereq: Good rope handling skills and solid single column ties. Bring to class: At least 3 hanks of long rope

Hojojitsu: Evil, Nasty, Harsh Rope, Modified for the Bedroom Presented by: Lord Percival Sunday 2:30-4:00pm - Camelot Court Track: Rope - Audience: Intermediate - Class Type: Hands On Hojojutsu is the opposite, in many ways, of the nice, happy rope arts that are taught and practiced by many rope artists. There are ways to make Hojo bedroom/play acceptable for those who don’t want to potentially damage their partners. Some knowledge of Hojo is useful to have for this class. This is not a take-down class. Bring to class: Thin, nasty rope (coconut rope, paracord, 4mm or 3mm hemp), a partner preferred, pre-negotiated for the hands-on section, clothing: comfortable to move in, or dungeon-wear

How Knot to Cut Rope Presented by: Giotto Sunday 11:45am-1:15pm - Camelot Court Track: Rope - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Hands On How can you avoid cutting your precious rope and still keep the bottom safe? This class will cover quick releases to let your bottom down quickly, adding ties and physically manipulating your bottom and ropes to fix problems.

More generally, we also wish to discuss the inherent risks of this type of play given that it takes place within the current context of a pornographic market that celebrates these themes in dangerous ways at times.

You want to play. Everything seems perfect. You like this person. And you trust him/her/them. Ready to go? NO! The most important part of your first kink interaction is to ensure you have negotiated your scene so as to make it the safest scene possible - given your interests and limits. And sometimes the safest decision is to decline until you have the chance to observe the individual in a scene, or speak to someone who has played with this -48- person. This module includes distribution of a safer scene negotiation outline, discussion on negotiation, and role play practice so we can all feel much more comfortable - top or bottom - in making scenes and play as enjoyable as possible. We will also cover safe words - why they are important - what they SHOULD mean - and what to expect should you use one. Sex (and/or Kink) and Disability Presented by: Wintersong Sunday 4:15-5:45pm - Rose Solarium Track: Interpersonal - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Discussion We can’t all be perfect specimens of physical and mental health. In fact, many of us are in some way, for lack of a better word, broken. This may pre-date our being sexually active, or it could be a more recent development. It can take many different forms, and can affect our lives, and yes our sex lives, in a wide variety of ways. Let’s get together and discuss issues such as: how does one explore safe play within our limitations, how do we find satisfying substitutions for favored activities that may now have become off limits, how do we talk to an erotic partner about our boundaries without freaking them out, and how can we incorporate our disability into our play in positive and healthy ways?

Hypnostory will demonstrate, and then you’ll have a chance to practice with a partner and experience it for yourself.

The Whipping Post: Crack with Connection Presented by: -Iya- Saturday 3:15-4:45pm - Crown Court Track: Impact - Audience: Everyone - Class Type: Demonstration The sound of the whip can be both intense and intimidating. The popper is the culprit of that indistinguishable ‘crack’ elicited when it exceeds the speed of sound. Whips can evoke the strongest of sensations to the lightest whisper of a touch. The whip wielder’s energy, both physical and otherwise, travels through the whip to the receiver. Stepping up onto the whipping post can be one of the most terrifying moments in one’s exploration of play. Whips take time to learn and require much practice and patience. In this class, we’ll approach the whipping post from both the wielder and receivers point of view. Come develop your skills, ranging from the technical and precise to the emotional and spiritual. Bring to class: Single tail whip, if you have one, but not required; hands-on portion will be as time and class size permits.

Over 6 years ago, he met PinkBikerGirl, and together they became active in the local New Hampshire kink scene. He found a love of rope bondage, Kinbaku, and went to nearly every event around to learn as much as he could about the art form. He has helped run rope lounges at the Fetish Flea events, mentored at local area rope groups, and started the Manchester Rope Group. He and PinkBikerGirl, along with a few other leaders in the New Hampshire area, started the MARK group and run nearly 50 events a year, including multiple munches and many diverse events (both kink and vanilla) with kinky people. In 2014, he became a board member for KinkyCon, and loves being part of a great event that provides quality kink education from lifestyle experts. He enjoys discussing, teaching, mentoring, and participating in BDSM and D/s activities.

Domino - Board of Directors Domino’s KinkyCon roots go back to the very beginning of the event, when he responded to a post on FetLife from a student at UNH who had an idea for a conference but needed some help. Eventually, Courtney Jane left for the West Coast, and Domino became one of the board of directors that would keep KinkyCon true to its original vision moving forward. Domino has pursued his interests in the BDSM lifestyle for more than three decades, and is the creator and host of The Bullwhip Lounge, a day long whip extravaganza at NELA’s Fetish Fair Fleamarket. Domino has presented at many local and national events including KinkyCon, Black Rose, The Floating World, Brimstone and Leather Reign. Domino’s passions for community building, education, and creating a safe space for all to participate, continue to play a major role in the creation of every KinkyCon.

PinkBikerGirl - Board of Directors Cindy has been interested in kink for almost ten years. She ventured into the public scene in 2012, and together with Dejantu, they started the MARK group in 2013. Along with a couple of other group leaders, they host about 50 events every year. Cindy’s strengths lie in organizing and planning, so in 2014, she added KinkyCon Board Member to her resume. Originally brought on to create the program, she has since taken on other roles, such as presenter liaison, and organizer extraordinaire. It is unlikely there is any aspect of your KinkyCon experience that has not been touched by her extreme attention to detail. -54- About the Staff Eomer - Vending Coordinator Eomer (pronounced AY-oh-MAre) has been drawn to alternative lifestyles all his life, and became active in the local community in the last decade.

They met shortly after, at a kilt munch, and have been inseparable ever since. Their shared interests include fire, safety, and volunteerism. They believe everyone should have the freedom and opportunity to explore, express, and present their fetish interests and sexuality without rebuke. As such, they regularly volunteer at BDSM cons, and lend support to local groups and events like LGBTQ Pride and domestic violence advocacy and outreach groups. Eomer also acts as host for the Concord Community Munch. Eomer is an artist and engineer by day, and a sadist with a soft heart. They both pursue their passion for edgier play by night. fiery-pixie - Volunteer Coordinator fiery-pixie is still fairly new to the kink community, and attended her first KinkyCon last year as Assistant Volunteer Coordinator. This year, she is back again to lend a hand. fiery-pixie has many passions and hobbies, including painting, writing erotica, rope bondage, and paracord weaving cuffs and collars. She has a warm and bubbly personality, and is always willing to lend a helping hand.

Lil_Boots - Volunteer Coordinator Lil_Boots is said to be an experienced den mother, qualified to adult at a college level (or better), and has been active in the Kink community for 14 years. She started out in CT, joined up with “The Group,” and sucked up BDSM knowledge like a good little fellatrix should. What makes her qualified for this position? Well, she has volunteered at several Fetish Fair Fleas, both for NELA & LeatherByDanny, tons of play parties, hosted a submissives coffee group in her own home, and she is also a former event coordinator who has conceptualized several charity events from 60-600 people!
