Bondage Classes & Dungeon Party - June 2011
Start Spreading The Word....
Max of Seattle is returning to the Lounge to teach another four intoxicating bondage classes and to be our guest of honor for our June Dungeon Players Party. Max's classes have a price increase at the end of this month and his classes are all pre sale tickets only, to save yourself money and to ensure you make the guest list, you'll want to write me for ticketing information ASAP. Information on each class, what to expect and what to bring can be found by reading further along for the event descriptions.
Max's last round of classes at the Lounge were all 2 hours and due to their popularity, this time round all of his classes are 2.5 hours long, giving you even more skill set development time with this guru. Come alone or be partnered up, it will all work out.
Max's classes are:
1. High Security Rope Bondage
2. Bondage For Sex

Ever had someone "escape" from your bondage? Have you ever managed to get away - or not get away - from someone else's bondage? Whatever your orientation, bondage is all about escape, and this workshop focuses on playing with that "escape energy".
If you're a rope top, you'll learn - and see - a wealth of techniques you can use to make your bondage more secure. If you're an aspiring escapee, you'll get a chance to add to your "tools and tricks" repertoire. And if you just want a good show, come watch us pit those two skills against each other.
Most of our time will be spent using people from the audience to demonstrate ways to make rope bondage more escape-proof.
Bottoms will have an opportunity to wriggle their way out while we analyze their technique. We may have opportunities for tops to test their mettle too. And there's a handout you can use as a reminder when you're practicing at home.
Since the class will be structured as a demo, there's no need to have a practice partner, to bring rope or to have any prerequisite skills. If you're interested, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to participate. If you'd rather just watch, there will be plenty of entertainment. Rope Bottoms - this is a great chance to get tied up and to showcase your escape skills.
As always, the emphasis is on learning and having fun.
This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels and all genders / orientations.

Bondage for sex isn't as simple as you might think. It's easy to make mistakes - resulting in a perfectly nice bondage scene and no ready way to make the sex part work. We'll help you avoid this frustrating experience.
This workshop will get us right into the "what is sex" debate, and we'll be using a pretty liberal definition. Rest assured that we're NOT limiting the workshop to boy-girl penis-vagina sex here. As with all of Max's workshops this workshop is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
Topics to be covered include general considerations, a few useful knots and a variety of interesting positions.
We'll have instruction. We'll have demos. And yes - we'll have plenty of hands-on practice. Sorry - the demos and practice won't include actual sex -you'll have to stay for the party to practice the sex part.
Much of the class will consist of hands-on exercises so you'll have plenty of time to practice and enjoy what you've learned. And, as always, the handout distributed at the workshop will help you when you practice at home
If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to practice the basic techniques. Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!
Some rope will be provided for the workshop, but bring the following if you can
• (4) 10-foot pieces of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"
• (2) 30-foot piece of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.

Many of us like rope bondage because it's pretty, sensual and intimate. Tops often like demonstrating their technical skills and bottoms often enjoy the firm, snug caress of the rope.
And some of us like being mean with our bondage - or like being tied up in mean ways.
Come learn more about using rope to produce powerful scenes and intense sensation.
We'll cover motivation, technique, safety and some style elements which complement this type of play.
Most of our time will be spent on demonstrations and discussion but there will be a few opportunities for hands-on practice.
If you're a top and part of your kinky repertoire is SM-based, you'll want to see how you can use rope to facilitate your scenes.
If you're a bottom and you crave the intensity of physically demanding scenes, you won't want to miss these demonstrations and discussions. You'll have opportunities to add to your skill set and mingle with a bunch of mean tops. And - Max will be looking for demo bottoms during the workshop.
A practice partner will be useful for the hands-on portions of the workshop but you'll also get lots out of this workshop if you come alone.
As with all of Max's workshops, there's a handout you can use as a memory aid when you're practicing at home.
Please bring two 30’ lengths of 6mm or 8mm rope and a few 15' lengths of 4mm if you can.
This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels and all genders / orientations. The emphasis is on learning and having fun.

So – you've learned the "fundamentals" and now you're ready for more.
This workshop helps you get to the next level by addressing the subtler topics which are applicable to most rope bondage scenes.
We'll talk about rope – types, diameters, strength – and we'll have plenty of rope on-hand to feel and evaluate.
We'll talk about resources for rope bondage – where to find rope, hardware, and information.
We'll talk about knots, and we'll practice some of the basic knots you'll use in your bondage scenes.
We'll talk about bondage positions - for fun, for pleasure, for pain, for sex, and for aesthetics.
And we'll talk about the "soft" parts of a bondage scene – things like rhythm, pace, connection, and showmanship. These are the things they never tell you in the books or on the web.
Much of the class will consist of hands-on exercises to help you get familiar with the material in a friendly, low-pressure environment. The emphasis is on learning, having fun, and building confidence.
If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to practice the basic techniques. Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!
Some rope will be provided for the workshop, but bring the following if you can

Breasts Hand Painted
Exploratorium is always a blast, it is the Lounges kinky carnival. This month we had a couple of new booths that turned out really well. And we changed up how the event runs too and things turned out great. Seeing as I have been under the weather, the team of people running everything has done so splendidly and without incident. I am proud to be considered a friend to such wonderful caring people who surround me both at home and at work as volunteers and as confidants.
The new booth Sharp Pointy Things, Knives & Claws was received with glowing praise by those who submitted on a gynecological table to the woman running the booth's evil ways.
And the body painting booth, was a perfect new addition. Wonderful woman, sexy as all hell, flirtatious, and a killer attitude and she paints, on anything, skin included. This is the art work that Eiralyn did on me and the evil woman's chests.
And all the volunteers running the other booths always do such an exceptional job. Seeing as most of the volunteers if not all, are people I call friends, I am not surprised that the event is such a positive experience for those who take part.

Libido Lounge Event Reviews
In a moment of weakness after the Sensual Massage Event I promised Jennifer I'd write about my personal experience as a new member of Libido Lounge.
I suppose the possibility of being posted on her blog was more than my inner exhibitionist could resist.
Yet, at this moment my only thought is why the fuck did I agree? Experiencing a new level of open communication (and great sex with your spouse) is one thing, trying to actually write it down is something else…
New Member Orientation:
Saying we would attend was easy. Making the reservation with Jennifer was easy. Driving to the Libido Lounge was a breeze. Getting out of the car was incredibly difficult… "Shit, what are we doing..." "Maybe we’re early and should just circle the block one more time..." "Who's idea was this again?" "Your perfume is too strong my nose is already burning, need some air…"
Yet, as we approached the front door the most extroverted and charismatic lady I've ever met in my life (that’d be Jennifer) whisked us inside with hugs and encouragement to the point where it felt a bit like the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The New Members Orientation talk itself was exactly as one would imagine a “first conversation” might be. On the other hand Jennifer is beyond words – OK perhaps I just don't have the finesse of vocabulary required to properly describe this incredible lady. That feat would require the tongue {and mind} of a renaissance writer.
We found the Orientation Meeting really turned into a conduit for my spouse (of 10 years) and I to quite literally blow the door WIDE OPEN on communication. It started in the car and carried on for days after we got home, maybe even a full week... "You'd really like to try that?" "I never knew - right now?" "In that position - where…" "Are you sure you're OK with that?" "Yes please." Wow.
Sensual Massage:
I’ve never been really comfortable with my body, especially in public, but this time I was armed with some sexy new underwear (both the store clerk and my spouse had privately assured me it was sexy, hmmm). Just to make it that much more difficult on myself; I can’t remember actually having been massaged in my life. It’s just not something that I’d ever looked for.
This time it was different. This time it was about opening up my mind, about stepping outside of the comfort zone, getting rid of the usual boundaries in a positive and liberating way. At work I can force myself and introduce my way into groups of strangers, it’s part of my job – but oh, gosh, golly, gee in my underwear – really?
Once at the Libido Lounge someone ever so politely suggested I might want get a soft drink – “Oh, they’re in the fridge”. OK, thanks. Introductions were made and as with the gentle yet firm transition from winter to spring, it became so clear that everyone was very “comfortable in their own skin”. Not in an overconfident kind of way, in fact the environment felt warm and welcoming, so cordial, very polite, very normal people with the ever-present tantalizing knowledge of the touch that was to come… Then there was organization, people, tables, towels, oils, “Who’s first?” Me, um well OK… Followed by the heavenly sensation of blissful touches which absolutely consumed me…. and I was converted for life.
Through a fog of sensation I hear the words, “Look up.” Pardon? I open my eyes to find I’m surrounded by 6 gorgeous breasts, nipples, rings, smiles…. it was not mandatory, it was not asked for, it was a gift freely given by 3 charming ladies and hopefully as graciously received (although I was probably dazed and drooling by this point) Told to close my mouth as my face was smothered... Queen’s lyrics drifting through my mind – is this the real world, or is this just fantasy…
There was a change, now it’s somebody else’s turn. More oil –the tension of anticipation. To touch the person you love with other people, and to touch others along with the one you love - to share, to enjoy, to see a loved one and other people all experiencing pure happiness by touch alone is truly a divine gift.
I’d never experienced anything like this in my life. Participating with a loved one just made it Oh, so much better. The confidence, the intimacy, the trust, the naked truth of others was truly incredible. Food for the soul.

There was a change, now it’s somebody else’s turn. More oil –the tension of anticipation. To touch the person you love with other people, and to touch others along with the one you love - to share, to enjoy, to see a loved one and other people all experiencing pure happiness by touch alone is truly a divine gift.
I’d never experienced anything like this in my life. Participating with a loved one just made it Oh, so much better. The confidence, the intimacy, the trust, the naked truth of others was truly incredible. Food for the soul.

Event route and the exact time is not yet set. I will announce here those details as soon as I hear word.
This an everyone-welcome kind of event.
We, as Vancouverite's are uniting with SlutWalk Toronto to move against intolerance and towards education.
BECAUSE WE’VE HAD ENOUGH!
This is cross-posted from SlutWalk Toronto:
On January 24th, 2011, a representative of the Toronto Police gave shocking insight into the Force’s view of sexual assault by stating: “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized”.
As the city’s major protective service, the Toronto Police have perpetuated the myth and stereotype of ‘the slut’, and in doing so have failed us. With sexual assault already a significantly under-reported crime, survivors have now been given even less of a reason to go to the Police, for fear that they could be blamed. Being assaulted isn’t about what you wear; it’s not even about sex; but using a pejorative term to rationalize inexcusable behavior creates an environment in which it’s okay to blame the victim.
Historically, the term ‘slut’ has carried a predominantly negative connotation. Aimed at those who are sexually promiscuous, be it for work or pleasure, it has primarily been women who have suffered under the burden of this label. And whether dished out as a serious indictment of one’s character or merely as a flippant insult, the intent behind the word is always to wound, so we’re taking it back. “Slut” is being re-appropriated.
We are tired of being oppressed by slut-shaming; of being judged by our sexuality and feeling unsafe as a result. Being in charge of our sexual lives should not mean that we are opening ourselves to an expectation of violence, regardless if we participate in sex for pleasure or work. No one should equate enjoying sex with attracting sexual assault.

Whip Class Vancouver
Saturday May 14, 7 - 9 PM
Tickets $25 member / $30 guest
Reservations & Tickets: jennifer@libidoevents.com
Whip Like A Pro In The Dungeon - 2 Hours
no experience necessary
This is a "Hands on Workshop" presented by Jonn Ireland, Whip Master of Seattle.
Bring your whips, if you have them, otherwise we have many to loan or sell. Participants will learn and practice the various techniques outlined.
Each technique will be demonstrated on my submissive so that everyone may be able to see how particular skills are applied in a Scene and used directly on a live body.
You will learn to use a Bullwhip for wraps and hard strikes to add spice to your Scene, several different ways to throw a Signal or Snake Whip, different and unusual areas to strike the body, positions to use in a Scene when you do not have a rack or a cross, techniques for limited space (like a bedroom), bondage and whips and "trance whipping". There will be a demonstration of double handed, matched whip work.
Whip techniques can vary from light wraps brushing skin with the whip tips, to using the whip tip for cracks off and then on the skin, each one producing different effects on the bottom and being used in different places as the Scene progresses. The Scene can vary in intensity from gentle stroking, to fiery rain and progress into painful, red welted stripes, depending on the intent and skill of the Top and the interests and limits of the bottom.
Time allotment is one hour Lecture/Demonstration and one full hour of Group Practice. Those without a whip, will be able to borrow one for the workshops interactive portion Further, multiple Highlander Whips will be available for sale.

Feedback from New Members
Waking up to email from people praising me, asking to hire me and reserving for Lounge events certainly does start my day with a big ass smile. I do love what I do and it feels so good to know that others can feel my passion and want to be part of it all too.
Hi Jennifer,
We would like to register us both for XXXXX on XX April XX and the Bare All Bowling on May 7th.
We'd also like to schedule a 2 hour private education session with you. The goal is to enhance our relationship & learn some techniques so that we're not complete newbies/virgins at a group event or with a new partner(s). Something about oral sex techniques, sensual play, female masturbation, a bit about group etiquette/negotiating if there's time. Still just a bit shy to attend a "Jack & Jill". Our idea might be a discussion in a private place but we are certainly open to your suggestions as to what works best.
Wanted to send you a heartfelt Thank You. Your discussion during the orientation was so enthusiastic and positive it was a catalyst for both Hanna and I. In the past few days we've had the most open, honest, real communication we've EVER had in almost 11 years of being married.
And Priape - Yes, wow, I went there after work and the guys were fantastic and helpful.
Sincerely
Glen

Men's Sexy Clothing Vancouver
I can't begin to tell you how much business I send to these people. Priape kicks some serious ass as an on-line shopping source. However, living local to Vancouver means that I can gleefully haunt their Davie Street store in person and fondle all their wares. And with well over a thousand members at the Lounge, when asked where to shop for men, I always send them to Priape to get outfitted.

Abduction Vancouver
The shoes in the photograph above are the pair that I wore to Virgin Saturday night. I took them off at nights end to wander around bare foot and let my feet relax. One of my good friends then slipped them into his bag and kidnapped them, unbeknown to me.I awoke this morning to said photo and a note that said "The shoes are safe for now."
Then he sent this photo and a note 'At least for the moment."
And still later, the kidnapper sent this "The shoes are turning into quite the little pain slut. I may have to change tactics."Thus far, my shoes have been kidnapped, assaulted, bound in rope, electrified, pallet wrapped and now threatened with vibration.
I'm not sure if I should pay the ransom .... or not, and see where this sexy scene ends up.

Vancouver Virgin
Happy God's Day Everyone. May you all have wonderful earth shaking orgasms at your own hands, or at the hands and mouths of those you woke up with today.
Last night we hosted VIRGIN at the Lounge, our quarterly event for our shy and newer members. The night did not disappoint, there was plenty of action everywhere I looked.
The group took a short while to gel together, but then they did and wow, the connections just sparked and things started to happen for people.
Cherries were popped, and new experiences were had by virtually everyone there.
I invited along some of my more gracious friends and they came out to initiate the newer ones amongst us to naughtiness. It was so much fun to be a part of. The games I chose were all a hit and many pleasures were enjoyed.
We had a few people as no shows at that is frowned upon, I'll be emailing those individuals today with my disappointment, a cancellation note is always polite and appreciated.
Before I was even home in the wee hours of the morning, the first people whom had left the party, were already writing me to express gratitude and joy over the wonderful night at the Lounge. Set a smile to my face and warmed my heart with the endearing praise, before I headed to bed.
The Party Etiquette class before Virgin was also a great success and all but one of the people in the class stayed on for the party too. Empowering attendees with the tools and skills necessary to succeed at parties is something I am most passionate about and it shines.

Danier Leather
I had to laugh.
It's funny for a commercial. If it were real life, this would certainly be mean spirited. But as a commercial and a commercial focused on leather, I found it to be intoxicating and amusing all at once.
Check this out, and yes, it is completely work safe too.

Army & Navy Show Sale 2011
No April Fools day joke here. I don't laugh about issues this serious.
Mark your calendars now, book time off of work and start saving your money.
Arrive early, really early. Bring your own bags to pack your purchases in. Wear flat shoes and comfy clothing.
It's the Army and Navy Annual Shoe Sale.
The prices are ridiculously cheap for designer names on all women 's footwear.
It starts Wednesday April 27th.
If you want to come shopping with me, drop me an email, it would be fun to go with a posse of women.
jennifer@libidoevents.com
As my Jason knows, I suck dick for shoes. So the next three weeks leading up to the sale are going to be filled with lots of blow jobs.
I'll be there, with lots of money in hand (thanks Jason) and a serious desire to buy shoes.
And for the record, if you want new shoes, you can't blow Jason for the dough. Instead, you are responsible for blowing your own man as my guy will be kinda chafed, and broke.

Open to men, women, couples and singles
Please note that you must also have your $25 cash renewal cost on you if your member number is PRE 825. And your renewal is good for 12 months.
Virgin: adjective without experience of; not previously exposed to:
You may be shy and uncertain.
You may feel hesitant and apprehensive.
You might have never been to a play party before
You may have never even been to the Lounge before.
Perhaps your first time didn't do it for you and you want a “do over”.
You are not sure what to do once you arrive.
You don’t know what on earth to wear.
You want an environment that doesn’t feel rushed or seem to have a theme or ulterior motive.
This may be your first time stepping out to an event or perhaps you've been to a few events in the past, yet still feel new. Come to Virgin, Libido Lounge’s newest event for the newest among us. A place to dip a toe into the waters of sex culture, to have thoughtful conversations and learn about the infinite possibilities of sensuality and kink in your life.
We have invited some of our more experienced members to attend and mingle. They will be dressed as they would for any play party. Talk to them about what to wear, or where they purchased what they have on. They are great people to talk to about different events you may be interested in, or if you dare, tell them what about fantasy. Ask the experienced members your burning questions and follow their lead.
You can wear anything that makes you feel sexy, it can be outrageous or your simplest lingerie. No blue jeans, no business attire please. We want you to feel like you’re out for an evening, not as though you’ve just come from work.
There will be plenty of spaces set up for cozy conversations, intimate areas for making out if you feel bold and a tucked out of the way place for full on whatever you wish. Go for it, dare to frolic and make your wildest dreams come true.
You will find snacks and appetizers on the dining room table. There will be on site (at an additional cost) massage for those who need some help unwinding or just wish to be touched so purposefully.
We ask everyone to arrive before 9:30 PM so that you have plenty of time to mingle and talk with everyone, before the more adventurous take off to play.
Non members must pre pay for their tickets

Pornography vs Art
Uncle_M produces a lot of fetishy images that land young damsels who are dressed pin-up style in rope bondage that then get's photographed.
Uncle_M does not like it when I say he is a pornographer. He says he is a pleasure artist, not a pornographer.
Uncle_M believes that since his models are clothed, that his work is then not pornographic.
Uncle _M was on BC Ferries yesterday and he sent me this message
"I'm on the ferry coming back from Victoria and hooked into the wifi on the boat. Did you know that libidoevents.com is blocked as being a porn site while pinup bondage is not? Even the government classifies my stuff as art."
I can just imagine his extreme glee at discovering his website as being viewed as artistic, rather than pornographic. He's never going to let me forget this either.
