To touch, understand, embrace and streak the body with joy, heart and
sensitivity. Perfumes, oils, tissues, fur, hair, lips, nails, skin and
lots
of fantasy stimulate your senses and desire. Hands perform music, dance
with you like a musical instrument. We play with a range of touch
qualities
that trigger sensual pleasure and softly invite your body to melt.. Women

| The Vulva or the Female Sex Roza A. Bliss Freiburg |
If your vulva could speak what would she say ?
If she could ask for something, what would be her desire?
We give our vulva a voice, we listen to her wishes and we will learn
the
Yoni Massage as a possibility to rediscover her, to relax her thin and
multi-layered tissue through caring touch and to animate it to more
vitality, sensitivity and lust. Women only |
| The Penis or the Male Sex Thomas Luhmann Köln |
He is your universal lust and life provider. Every man should
be proud
of
him, the little friend. In your education he was mostly completely
ignored,
or loaded with taboo. As a young man maybe other guys tried to grab
him, or
they compared his length with their own rods. Often the root of a
complex
was then planted. In the workshop we will talk about our own perception
of
our dicks and about the perception of others. During a little ritual we
will
show, touch and sniff them in a safe and comfortable atmosphere.
Whatever
kind of complex you might have concerning your cock, we will do the
first
steps towards healing.You will look at your willy differently
afterwards! workshop for men only ! |
| Skin I & II Felix Ruckert Berlin |
The skin is our biggest sense organ. Quicker and in a more
direct way
than
eyes, nose or ears it links us to our environment. Despite its being
one big
unity the skin is made of many differently-thick surfaces. It gives us
reliable information about changes in pressure, pull, friction and
temperature. The workshop combines both the active use of the skin as perception instrument and techniques for its manipulation and stimulation. It illustrate its possibilities as means of communication with the environment and the people. A special focus is put on the perception of the psychological and emotional effects of the different techniques. |
| Bisexual Adventures Felix Ruckert Berlin |
Heterosexual but fascinated by homosexuality ? Lesbian or gay, but sometimes lusting for the other sex? A workshop for potential polymorph perverts looking for new experiences. in a relaxed playful athmosphere we will test our boundaries with simple love techniques such as sensing, touching, caressing and kissing. We play with our sexual identities. A look on the other side of the fence... |
| Full Body Orgasm Frédéric Gies Berlin |
I propose with this workshop a particular way to
reach what is registered as "energy orgasm". We will
start , through movement, to get in touch with our
skin, our fluid system (blood, cellular fluid,
cerebral spinal fluid...) and our endocrine glands,
inviting this way our sexual energy to flow in our
body. Playing with movement and deep breath, we will
find the way to reach an energy orgasm, or what I
would willingly call a "FULL BODY ORGASM". This way
to reach this kind of orgasm is an amazing tool that
we can use whatever the sexual practice we're
involved in, and that helps us to enjoy our pleasure
in a more complete and embodied way.
|
| Partner Yoga Ilka Stoedtner Berlin |
Partner Yoga stimulates your energy and
trains your body through touch and joy. It has a beneficial effect on
the internal organs and influences breath, menstruation and orgasmic
functioning. Its six basic positions are based on the knowledge of
Chinese Medicine and are part of the basic
exercises of Advaita-Tantra |
| Cathartic Massage Ilka Stoedtner Berlin |
A very special massage: It helps to break up physical
blockages. It is
certainly not the most pleasant kind of massage, but its effects will
remain
unforgettable. A great introduction to Tantra for
S/M players! |
| Bioenergetic Excercises Ilka Stoedtner Berlin Bow and Little Fire Column |
The Bow and The Fire Column are bioenergetic exercises. They
help to
sharpen
the will and to increase the ability to devotion. They release
blockages and
free the orgasmic reflex, which travels through the whole body into the
feet. In a metaphoric sense the exercises stand for the stepping out of
the
darkness of unconsciousness. The energy rises and transforms into
spiritual
power.
|
| Wordplay B. Sanguinaria Berlin |
Language and voice are effective requisites in SM. A
deliberate choice
of
words increases the suspense, the perfect tone creates especially
intense
scenarios and roles. In this workshop a number of possibilities are
introduced - and immediately practiced: * "Whatever pleases you, Madam!" eloquency gets you a head start * "What is the magic word?" playing with clichés * Putting your foot down be present with a strong voice * Ready-wit be as sharp as a blade * Talk dirty to me and how do I dare to open my mouth? As always, experience levels and areas of interest determine the focus topics of this workshop. Fun is guaranteed. |
| Power Situations Felix Ruckert Berlin |
This workshop is about the emotional effects of spatial
relations. It
deals
with such subjects as closeness and distance, the individual and the
group,
spatial hierachies, control and surrender, intimacy and reserve. Our
position in space, our body language, our attitude and focus are
creative
tools in the non-verbal communication with others. Simple physical
exercises
draw the attention to the dynamics created by spatial relations and in
contact with others. They also help to perceive the emotions that are
inevitably triggered in this process.

| Spanking - Samatala - Smack it! Paula L. Rosengarthen Berlin |
Executed with a firm hand, Spanking is a highlight for many
lovers - a
real
erotic obsession and not just a disciplinary device in role play. This
workshop provides hands-on experience to point out the different
possibilities and alternatives. It will also show which techniques and
objects might be used as an extension of your
hand... Biography Paula L. Rosengarthen |
| Hot Wax Hagen Berlin |
A special candle light dinner for the skin. For the fans of
Hot Wax it
causes an exremely erotic sensation,
both because of the intermingling of
heat with other kind of stimuli and because of the unpredictability of
exactly where the drops will fall. In this workshop we will try out the whole variety of how different candles can "burn". From relaxing - yes, that is possible! - to truly hot, there are lots of possibilities. And of course important safety tips: not all candles are the same.... |
| Sensory Deprivation Hagen Berlin |
Here you will learn all about the infinite
possibilities of sensory deprivation, from the simple covering of the
eyes to the complete mummification.
Out of the overabundance of stimuli in daily life, the recipient is
projected into a silent cosmos, where he alone exists and where all
his attention is directed toward inside. As the borders between the
real and the imagined become blurred and the feeling for time and the
material world becomes lost, longer sessions can cause changes in
awareness. Therefore it is important to agree on a certain length of
time beforehand.
|
| Learning the Ropes Hagen Berlin |
The basics of erotic bondage. The joy of bondage consists of the fact that the person who is tied up can completely let go, fall into his/her feelings and just accept what the partner is doing. She/he no longer has to think about her/his own performance as a lover of feel guilty about being passive. The person who is actively binding feels lust because of the total power over the partner. The increase of power frees him/her of inhibitions just as powerlessness liverates the person who is bound. To play with bondage absolute trust is a must: responsibility on one side and the ability to abandon on the other. |
| Japanese Bondage (Basics) Zamil & maliZ Berlin |
Simple arm and/or leg bondage. Learn and try it out yourself!
What kind
of
knots do I have to use ? How does it feel to be restricted, helpless,
controlled ? How does it feel to restrain someone? To tie someone up ?
What
are the safety aspects to consider?
|
| Japanese Bondage - Dressing up with Rope Zamil & maliZ Berlin |
The decorative possibilities of Bondage are demonstrated and
explained.
Zamil und maliZ will teach a classic decoratiion bondage and show how
to
create your own variations with a willing
partner and a few lenghts of rope.
|
| Tickling & Bastonade delta® & C.D. Berlin |
Our feet are both robust and extremely sensitive. The torturers in former times used this knowledge to give convicts draconian punishment with a cane on the sole. This punishment was extraordinarily painful, but it didn´t leave any traces. Even today, the classic "Bastonade" is often used to bring pain through the sole of the foot to the whole body. Foot torture is however much more than the simple use of a cane. Torture starts for everyone at a different point. For some of us, tickling may be much more torture than anything else. This Workshop will provide many nasty ideas for different methods of torturing. |
| Flagellation 101 delta® & C.D. Berlin |
Through a variety of practical excercises we will give you a
feeling
for the use of different whips.
Only the one who knows what it feels like to be whipped, is able to use
a whip responsibly. Where can I hit with diffent whips? How strong can I whip without leaving traces? Or in order to leave traces! We want to give answers to common questions, like: - Where to get a whip? - How to transport the whip without having to tell the neighbours " I have a pony"> - How to make your own whip? Hands on Workshop |
| Flagellation for the Experienced delta® & C.D. |
This workshop is explicitly for experienced sadists
or/and masochists, who want to carry out a session in a
safe but public environment. What kind of emotions are
triggered by physical pain? What are my limits? How do
I perceive my Hitting- or Receiving- Persona? What
kind of images and thoughts are coming up? We will organize several 30- minute-sessions to approach these and other questions regarding our practical experiences. There will be time for discussion and exchange afterwards. As we aim for a very intense atmosphere, the number of participants wil be limited. Please bring a partner! |
| Play Piercing Paula L. Rosengarthen |
At first the idea of needles through the skin
produces fear and disgust in most people. In a play piercing, sterile
needles - often hypodermic needles - are usually inserted into the top
layers of skin. These wounds heal without leaving permanent marks. In
contrary to what most people believe Play Piercing does not hurt very
much after the first short moment of insertion. The interest in Play
Piercing lies more in the symbolic connotation that a penetration
of the skin implies. All penetration of skin entails the potential risk
of infection or trauma and requires extreme caution. In this workshop
Paula will show how you can introduce needles sensually and playfully
into your love life and will give practical
tips for use, safety and
hygiene.
Biography Paula L. Rosengarthen |
| Live out your sexual fantasies: Exhibitionism/Voyeurism, Crossdressing/Gender-Play, Gangbang/All against One T.E. |
To make sex work well, a scenario very different from the one
actually
experienced might run in the minds of the partners. Because of shame or
fear
a lot of fantasies remain repressed and the actual sex life becomes
shallow.
Within the safe framework of this workshop the participants have the
opportunity to tell which ideas really turn them on and to hear and
experience the fantasies of others. With the agreement of the
participants
and in the framework of the legal possiblities, fantasies can be acted
out.
The protagonists will have the chance to experience to what extent they
really wish to live those fantasies. (No obligation to consumate! )
Very
often the acting out of a fantasy is less frightening than imagined.
Maybe
some participants might discover that keeping fantasies a secret only
helps
them to avoid expressing what they really want in their current sex
life.
Allowing oneself to follow an utopic idea is a step on the path to more
authenticity and may liberate one from feelings of guilt. Playful
handling
of sexual fantasies releases us from the effort of repressing them and
makes
us accept ourselves with those fantasies. This will prevent these
particular
practices from becoming obsessions and controlling us, from performing
them
compulsively, and from damaging ourselves or others. Accepting and
Noticing-what-is are the way to the Self. This workshop is not an introduction to swinger clubs or gangbang parties. It is about putting sexual fantasies into perspective by experiencing and observing them. Everyone who wishes can bring in and act out his or her specific fantasy. To people in relationships it offers an opportunity to try things they can not do or do not dare to do as a couple. Participants might play roles in the scenarios of others as long as these scenes stay within their limits or even match their own fantasies. Due to the limited time of the course not all ideas will be put into practice, but one might be surprised by the fact that many fantasies are very similiar. For each workshop day Dorothea will propose a main topic: Exhibitionism/Voyeurism Cross Dressing / Gender-Play Gangbang / All against One |
| Wickedness and Grace Miras L. Verde Berlin |
Be what (-ever) you want. In S/M we play with images and stereotypes. We look for our polar opposite, the force that resists our own. This is hot, but sometimes something gets lost: we tend to hide those parts of ourselves that appear to contradict the chosen role. This workshop is dedicated to the capacities and characteristics that attract us to our play/life partners, those which we would like to have (more of) ourselves. My question is: What fascinates you? What touches you? What are you looking for in your counterpart? What are your fears and desires? What do you discover when you uncover? This will be a journey backstage, behind the clichés and role models of male/female, sadistic/masochistic, dominant/submissive..What is in there in the dark? I would like to seduce you to dig a bit deeper, to discover new facets of yourself, to appropriate and integrate them with pleasure. |
| About Power Miras L. Verde Berlin |
Is Power always active? What kind of power does a “victim"
have? S/M
and
D&S play with power and non-power, with “activity" and “passivity",
but who
is really running “the game"? Are we aware of our (actual) power? The less consciously we act or communicate, the easier we end up with misunderstandings, erroneous expectations and disappointment. This workshop explores in depth the power of the submissive and the powerlessness of the dominant. It is about active helplessness, the courage of humility and the art of Tempting. It deals with active passivness as well as with free-willed and powerful devotion. What responsibility do we have in our role? Where are the traps and the edges? And where are hidden treasures yet to discover? |
| Conflict makes Sense Miras L. Verde Berlin |
What are the typical misunderstandings and conflicts in
different forms
of
S/M relationships? What makes these conflicts so particularly
difficult?
What kind of edges, fears, insecurities and dependencies are we
confronted
with? What are my possibilities as a submissive or as a dominant to
deal
with problems? How can I turn an unpleasant argument into a gain for
both?
A workshop of self reflection, where we can share experiences and find
out
about individual communication and possibilities for solutions beyond
the
usual strategies of fighting or escaping. |
| Monogamy - Polygamy or 101 Affairs and No Partner Paula L. Rosengarten Berlin |
This workshop explores polyamourous lifestyles and the
problems they
might
involve. Yearning for a primary relationship? Or stranded in the
imbalances
of genders and roles in the S/M subculture ? Happily escaped from
monogamy,
but nevertheless feeling lonely? A lecture and discussion on lifestyle
choices and relationship issues. Biography Paula L. Rosengarthen |
| Body Cult & Fetishism Paula L. Rosengarten Berlin |
Between Body Cult and Beauty Ideals: the fetishistic point of
view or a
different aesthetic. Slim and fat, hour-glass figures, scars and structures - body modification, body and material, high heels, hair, traces.... Paula will show photographed examples and moderate a hopefully controversial discussion about perception, aesthetics and the compatibility of extreme practices with health issues and political correctness. Biography Paula L. Rosengarthen |
| Free Love - Free Sexuality Theo Altenberg Berlin |
Theo will show a short film on the issue and then moderate a
discussion
which will focus on the individual stories, experiences and wishes of
the
participants. He draws from thirty years of experience with all kind of
group and couple relationships and might bring some wisdom into the
debate.

| Feet Washing Ceremony delta® Berlin |
Washing feet was a normal part of life
in earlier times, because roads were dusty and shoes were expensive.
Therefore washing feet was a daily ritual, a sign of respect and esteem
for fellow people. It was not only used to clean, but to heal and to
care for the feet, which were sore due to long distance walks.
Meanwhile the feet washing ritual has disappered from daily life.
Nowadays the idea of washing feet often causes amazement or
astonishment. He would like to bring new life to this ritual and answer the following questions: - Why are feet so sensitive? - How does the sensation of our feet give an impulse to the rest of the body? - What should I know, if I want to do a feet washing ceremony? |

| Self Expression I & II Theo Altenberg Berlin |
Self-Expression is an experiment of ecstasy. It was developed
by Otto
Mühl
and members of the Friedrichshof Commune (Vienna, Austria) in the
Seventies. Every evening, from 1975 until the late Eighties, the
members of
the Commune and outside visitors met to celebrate the Unknown within
Ourselves. The original form of Self-Expression links ideas from the
happenings of the Wiener Aktionismus (1962-1971) with the theories of
Wilhelm Reich and the rituals of tribal cultures. The basic setting for Self-Expression is a circle. Everyone can step into the center and draw the attention of the others to his or her personal performance. The art of Self-Expression demands authenticity and a capacity for ecstasy. The person is required to bring his feelings, dreams and experiences into spontaneous expression, to create a strictly personal story from his/her internal chaos of images. This can happen through dance and movement as well as language and voice. Taboos can be transgressed and states of trance can be achieved. The only restriction is that actual violence may not be used. No one is allowed to menace or physically endanger other participants with his/her actions. The creative process is supported by an experienced moderator, who sits on the side or even steps into the circle, and guides with comments and propositions. Self-Expression is an artform; it does not follow a therapeutic logic. |

| Fuck for Forest Tommy & Leona Berlin |
Tommy from Norway and Leona from Sweden found a great way to
combine
pleasure with politics. With great idealism they fight for the rain
forest
through public sex-performances. Their web site www.fuckforforest.com,
featuring pictures and short videos of them, friends and supporters
enjoying
100% environmentally friendly erotic activities collected more than a
100
000 dollars in only a few months.. But here comes the catch: None of
the big
environmental organization wants to accept their money, being too
afraid of
being linked to even the most innocent form of pornography. Now they plan to start their own rain forest project. xplore05 wants to offer Leona and Tommy a platform for their mission. They will talk about their ideas and projects and will animate a video and photo workshop inviting you to experiment with photographing and being photographed during erotic action. At the end of the workshop you can decide if you wish to donate your best shots to their cause... Bring your cameras and camcorders!! |
