Wanna beat em (or get beat by them)? Join us! A little, or a lot, of adrenaline can be a great time with play. Impact play is versatile, doesn’t require a lot of money to do, and is a great start in your kink/BDSM experimenting. This is a true hands-on class that covers basics on safety, things to consider when playing, tools for everyone’s pleasure, and some chances to experience being on either side of the dynamic with this play. Bring a friend and add to the fun!

Daddy (Bear) Jay hails from Louisville, KY and much like his home city is a mix of Midwestern and Southern. His pronouns are he/him/his, he identifies as queer/gay and flags left forest green, red, houndstooth, dark blue, light blue, and black. He is President of Titans of the Midwest and a founding leader of the now fully inclusive Kentucky Leather Brotherhood.

He has as much love for helping, advocating for, and educating others as he does his husband, boy, leather family, and bio dogs. Whether traveling to support Kink U’s/Titans members, helping produce events locally to celebrate education, diversity and the leather community, or having small time with loved ones and friends socially and in play, the constant is a want to help others around him and learn something new. Work hard and play hard is the mantra for this Daddy / Sir / Handler / Bear hybrid.

1:00 PM Rope: It's Thundershirts for people! - Jesse Basquint

Just like Thundershirts help dogs relax, rope can help human pets relax. Unlike Thundershirts, rope lets the handler relax, too! In this class, we'll focus on the basics of rope harnesses and hog ties and how they can be used for relaxing.

We'll be covering:

• Basic rope bondage safety
• Discussions to have before a scene
• WHY you should stage a relaxing rope scene
• How to do basic harnesses and hog ties

Jesse has been working with rope and enjoying all of the fun that comes with it for the last 6 years, sharing his explorations with anyone who wants to learn. As a member of the Kentucky Leather Brotherhood, he continues to work on spreading awareness and education about rope bondage. He shares his life with his wonderful pup, Niku… and loves experimenting with new techniques on his willing puppy.

2:00 PM Fisting for Dummies - Tugger

A thrilling introduction into fisting that will leave you thinking: "Isn't that too much lube", "So that's what's happening when I do that", and "Does my face look like that, too?" Be ready to hear OOOhs and Ahhhhs and HRNNNNGGG as Tugger takes to the sling to talk you through how to communicate what you want out of a fisting session and works against his better instincts to tell you EXACTLY what is happening to him. Teaching this entire class from the bottom, we'll discuss fun things to do with your fingers, the importance of lube, and how deep does this thing go? The only instruction that Tugger has given his top prior to this class is "I want you to make this class really difficult for me". So come prepared! ...With questions, but I'm sure if you want to clean out before hand too, no one is going to complain.

Tugger is the definition of a lady on the streets but a freak in the sheets. With a long list of kinks; from high etiquette to fisting, a poodle dog can keep you guessing (he also knows how to get jlube out of fur). Originally born in Wichita, KS, he began his journey as an "old guard" trained submissive at the age of 20. Feeling the urge to find out more about himself and Leather, Tugger moved to the Valley of the Sun to find personal growth in both his personal and fetish lives. Phoenix readily provided both as well as membership of the Phoenix boys of Leather, Arizona Pups and Handlers, and the title of Mr Phoenix Leather 2015.

Tugger is the proud puppy of the 2015 International Mr Bootblack, Bamm-Bamm and recently moved to join him in Cincinnati; where he has since joined the Cincinnati Sisters and the Titans of the Midwest to follow through on his passion of teaching and learning from others. Beyond his cutting wit, he is known for pushing the envelope in the Leather community by blurring the lines of what makes a man a man in a new "avant guard" way.

Active in the kink community for over a decade, Kinsey is a member of Indy Pets and Handlers and MAsT: Tippecanoe. When not lifting up a room with her enthusiasm and joy, she is likely cuddling her human pup Echo and her four legged dog Dexter.

In her vanilla life Kinsey is a dog groomer and that shows in her life as a trainer. Kinsey enjoys giving hot wax massages, grooming Echo, and is absolutely not a sadist, she promises... look it was just that one time. Okay, maybe twice, and she only punched that puppy a little.
