I'm Going To COPE!
(from M.Christian's Classes And Appearances)
There's cool then there's cool: the great folks at COPE (The Central Ohio Perversion Diversion) are winging me out to their Columbus event to teach two of my popular classes, from September 12th to 14th:
Sex Magic: Manifesting Positive Life Energy Through Erotic Play
Sex, without a doubt, is a powerful personal force: it has the ability to not only give tremendous pleasure but also lift us up beyond our normal selves, and sometimes even to higher states of consciousness. Whether through sex with a partner or via masturbation, this class will explore how sex can be used to explore sometimes hidden spiritual and sensual dimensions, grow as a sexual being, manifest positive life-changing energy, or simply have a lot of wonderfully erotic fun! But sex also has its emotional risks as well, and participants will also learn how to protect themselves as they explore sex magic and deal with sometimes shocking revelations about who they are as a sexual being.
You Want To Do What? Sex & BDSM Scenes
Even though it is often seen as 'alternative sexuality' a lot of people in the BDSM community are often baffled by how to include direct sexual activity into their scenes. From STC (Sexually Transmitted Condition) concerns to issues of intimacy, to switching from the intensity of hardcore play to the intensity of sexual contact, this class and discussion will playfully but restfully give examples of how erotic play can be added into BDSM activities in a physical as well as emotionally safe way – as well as being able to handle the sometimes unexpected emotions that can come up for even the most seasoned of BDSM aficionado when sexuality enters the mix.

Next Polyamory Discussion/Support Group At The Citadel
(from M.Christian's Classes And Appearances)
Just wanted to share the cool news that the next Polyamory Support/Discussion Group is coming up on Monday, July 28th

But what is even more challenging is that it is still not wildly accepted, with those in non-monogamous relationships often finding it difficult to find understanding and support. In this discussion/support group, polyamorous individuals and couples will have a nonjudgmental and supportive environment to share their concerns and experiences.
All Discussion/Support Groups are from 7:30PM to 9:30PM and cost $10

He has taught classes on everything from impact play, tit torture, bondage, how to write and sell erotica, polyamory, cupping, caning, and basic SM safety.
M.Christian is also a recognized master of BDSM erotica with more than 400 stories in such anthologies as Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, Best Bisexual Erotica, Best Fetish Erotica, and many other anthologies, magazines, and other sites; editor of 2t anthologies such as the Best S/M Erotica series, Pirate Booty, My Love For All That Is Bizarre: Sherlock Holmes Erotica, and more; the collections Dirty Words, The Bachelor Machine, Love Without Gun Control, Rude Mechanicals, and more; and the novels Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Me2, Finger's Breadth, Brushes, and Painted Doll.

Kinky Relationship Support AND Teaching Polyamory: April at The Citadel
The last week in April is going to be delightfully busy! On Monday April 28th, 2014 I'll be leading a new session in my ongoing group: Leading Relationships And The Scene - A Discussion/Support Group for SF Citadel:
Occasionally people in "The Scene" forget that they are not just dealing with sexual play but human interactions and relationships as well. In this discussion and support group, participants will be encouraged to share their experiences in an open environment to receive support and understanding from others who may have experienced the same, or just similar, situations.- then, the next day, I'm going to be teaching Polyamory: How To Love Many And Well:
7:30PM to 9:30PM: $10
Sure, you've heard of it - and maybe have been intrigued by it - but what is polyamory and how do you love more than one person and make it work? How can you deal with jealousy,
time-management, emotional rough patches, and more to enter into multiple sexual relationships? In this class, participants will learn to separate the myths from the realities of polyamory, how to make tentative steps towards having more than one partner, and how to approach and deal with the problems of sharing yourself with others, and being involved with someone who, in turn, is involved with someone else. Included in this class will be simple emotional exercises, true life experiences, unique techniques and innovative approaches to understanding the joys - and the risks - of beginning, or entering into, a polyamorous relationship.
Class from 8:00PM - 10:00M
Cost: $20 at the door, $15 in advance via PurplePass: http://www.purplepass.com/sfc04292014

Dress code: Whatever makes you comfortable
Join this workshop to receive (ahem) 'hands-on' instruction in a wide and sometimes-strange variety of different impact toys hands, hairbrushes, paddles, crops, wooden spoons, batons, quirts, and more. While often the physics of these toys are sometimes closely related, to use each one effectively takes particular skill and techniques that are not immediately apparent. Participants will learn not only how to inflict the most pleasure as well as pain but also how to use each item without hurting the wield-er as well as the wield-ee.

Welcome to the World Of Tomorrow! Sure,
we have iPads, iPhones, Viagra, the staggering depths of the Internet, but what
could the day after tomorrow bring? In this combination discussion and lecture,
participants will share in some thought experiments on what sex may be like in
the year year – or the next thousand years. Subjects included will be
speculations on drug and chemical enhancements, extrapolation on current – and
future – consumer technology, where gender and sexual orientation may be
headed, the idea of artificial implants and enhancements, and even the
prospects of intimate encounters with cyborgs, androids, robots, and artificial intelligences.

Tell Me A Story: Using Erotic Writing To Create Hot Scenes
Toys? Check! Dungeon space?
10-4! Playmate? Ready, willing and able! Okay, so you have everything you think
you need to create a really hot scene ... but, well, have you ever read erotica? Of course you have ... and what makes for
the hottest sex scenes, the wildest BDSM sessions? The answer, of course, is story: the journey of the
master or slave from where they were to where they are now, not just the toys,
space, or bodies involved. In this
playful and thought-provoking lecture/class, erotica master M.Christian will
show how to use storytelling techniques to add a powerful new dimension to not
just a single scene but to possibly your entire BDSM playlife. From creating a sexual persona to using
dramatic structure to put together a molten hot experience, from working with
the transformative nature of both BDSM and fiction to using writing as sexual
self-exploration, Tell Me A Story will amuse as well as enlighten the seasoned as
well as beginning BDSM player.
