Private to Rowan Teague
I have an event I am going to over the upcoming holiday weekend and wanted to give you a heads up about it. It's an educational and social event for people involved in the fetish world, or interested in getting involved -- I'd love if it you'd consider coming but I also will understand if you wouldn't want to, since it's not on campus and it might be overwhelming to take on campus things off campus. But there are a lot of classes, and other people who are getting started in exploring their interests, and I thought it might be at least a little helpful. I've left the list of the workshops in your room if you'd like to look them over? If nothing else it might be fun to get off campus for a weekend together.

Here is the site, if you want to look it over more. If you don't want to come -- and again, I won't mind, love, so don't overthink it! -- then you're welcome to have some people over, or head over to their place if you'd rather not be alone that long. You're more likely to be able to watch fireworks that way, at least?

Private to Demetrius Buchanan
Hola, guapo, I hope you are doing well this week. I realized today that you might be interested in an event I am teaching classes at in a couple of weeks. There's quite a wide variety of workshops and demonstrations and, given our discussions thus far, I thought some might pique your interest. Take a look and let me know; if so I can add you to my pass so you have freedom to add as many classes to your plate as you'd like. You could also bring your servita if you wished, some are best attended as a pair to test out the practical application of things while it's being taught.

	That does sound interesting, Marta. Thank you for the offer. May I ask what classes you are teaching? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Marta \| Demetrius martaherrera 2016-06-24 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	You are quite welcome, Demetrius. "Chomp", "Improving Your Rope Technique: Master Class", "``Riding the Edge``: Advanced Knifeplay", and "Teach'n & Beat'n: A primer on impact play." Some of my favorite things, as you can see, though there are a number of others I'd have loved to get involved with. I might still sit in as my schedule allows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They all sound delightful, Marta. Will you be bringing your servita? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Demetrius martaherrera 2016-06-24 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	There are many that are appealing. The "Primal Scene" was what really made me think I should invite you, along with the knife play classes. May I ask which ones stand out as most interesting to you? I have invited him but am not sure yet if he will be accompanying me. I have hopes as I think it will help him get more comfortable with the scene as a whole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta \| Demetrius demetrius_b 2016-06-25 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	I will admit that the Primal Scene did strike a cord with me. I have to admit the hypnotic ones strike me as interesting. Either way, I'm sure it will be an enjoyable weekend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mm, and there's such a nice variety of options with the hypnotism, if I remember right. Could be intriguing. And I'm sure I can hunt down the instructors if you wanted to chat with them outside of the proverbial classroom, too.
I'm glad you'll be coming. I agree, it should be quite enjoyable. There's also a play space, and vendors who may have some fun new things to play with.

	I would like that, thank you Marta. I have never thought about hypnotism before. Could be very interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are incredibly welcome, Demetrius. May I ask what appeals to you about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The thought of implanting a suggestion into someone's mind like that. I'm curious about the question of consent in that instance. If you can override one's wants, or if the suggest sticks, was it a subconscious desire? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is a good question. I would think that allowing the hypnotism to take place in the first place is the initial stage of consent. The safest way to go about it would be agreeing on a list of things that are okay, and ones that are not at all acceptable. I do not know enough about the details behind hypnotism to know if it's possible to actually override someone's wants, or if it will only work if the desire is there, but if it is, then it would be interesting.

	It is very interesting; the conversation. ~~I wonder how Elinor would feel about all this~~ It would definitely be an interesting class to sit in on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Demetrius martaherrera 2016-06-26 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	This is making me want to read up on it more, to get more answers about whether the will can be overriden or not. Then it should be added to the list, certainly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Can you see me right now? I'm really red. I think I'm permanently blushed from looking at those classes. And yet thinking about some of them. And some seem really scary, like branding? People do that? I guess it's like tattoos, right? That's so permanent. Or the hypnotism? People are really into that too? Or knife play? I mean, I'm curious. I really am but can I stick by you the entire weekend? Please?

	Oh! I thought I ... I guess I didn't proof read my comment. Sorry. ~~I think I'm still red~~ I'm curious? Is it... what are those things like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta \| Rowan martaherrera 2016-06-24 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	It's alright. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Which things? The events? Or some of the classes in specific? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-25 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry. I started to write and then I wasn't sure how to say what I wanted to. Yes? Both. What are the events like? Or the classes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You can always take as much time as you need, or find other ways to say things if you need to.

An event like this is big on education and community. Everyone's happy to talk and get to know others, and it's very respectful. The three biggest things on everyone's mind are "safe, sane, and consensual." You'll find people are very polite, helpful, but also curious. They're there for a kinky good time and hope everyone else is, too. Some of the classes are demonstrations, where you just watch, and some are where you try out what you're being taught. It depends, and -- as with the classes I teach even here -- you can opt out of participating and just watch instead.

	Writing may be easier. Than speaking. Though I'm sure you can imagine I'm going to be permanently red. ~~Are you sure you want me to come? I'm going to be awkward and probably overthinky~~ Do your classes there have demonstrations? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta \| Rowan martaherrera 2016-06-25 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe keeping a journal of your thoughts might help? Or something less intense, just writing your thoughts occasionally as they come. I like it when you're red. Yes. I have volunteers lined up for them as I didn't want to put you through the pressure of that many eyes on you. And I don't think you would have enjoyed two of them much.

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-25 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	I've never really thought of a journal before. Having younger siblings meant they were always going through my stuff and anything like that? Would get into bad hands. I suppose it's different here. Which two, if I can ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It can be completely private, if you'd like. Or just between us. No siblings or other prying hands.

One is a class on impact play, which we haven't done any of but I do not think is quite to your tastes? Spanking, light paddling, things of that nature. The other is knife play, which I will be quite shocked to hear would be an interest of yours. I know you would enjoy the rope class and the one about erotic biting.

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-25 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. You are a little different than a sibling ;) I'm not sure about impact play. Whips... hurt. ~~Do you- I guess you do~~ You find both to be something you are into? ~~I'd be curious~~ I'd be curious to try it? If you are into it? To see? Maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I should certainly hope so! Then again I've never had a sibling so who knows, maybe they bite as much as I do.

They can, yes.
I do. I enjoy them very much, giving or receiving.
Darling... I appreciate that, I really do, but only if you think it might be something you'd like. I don't want to add to the bad experiences you've already had.

How about this. If you are curious about some of the things I like... would you please accompany me to church when I go, tomorrow?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-26 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	They bite very differently, trust me. I don't believe you would add to the bad experiences. You have always respected what I wish and don't wish. Church? Sure? ~~I don't follow~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We'll stick to my kind of bites then.

I do my best to. I hope I never fail you in that.

It's... an experience for me. I am very religious, I quite enjoy Catholicism, but it is also deeply arousing to me. The ceremony of it, the rituals, the words. Communion, taking the body of Christ into myself, drinking his "blood." I want you to see me like this, to see how Mass affects me, first. And then we can discuss the rest, and see what you would be willing to try with impact play, or pain. It will give you a better idea of how I will respond should we try those other things.

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-26 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	I don't believe you will :) Okay. ~~Is it wrong that when you say how aroused you are, all I can think of is tasting you?~~ ~~I should say more words than okay~~ I want to see this part of you too. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Rowan martaherrera 2016-06-26 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	I've never asked, and I feel bad about that now -- are you religious at all? Will it bother you? Especially if I... ask for certain things, after we get back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-26 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	It won't bother me. I don't really know where I stand with religion. My parents insisted we did Christmas and Easter but other than that it wasn't really a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Rowan martaherrera 2016-06-26 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	It isn't for everyone. I'm sure I'd be frustrated with many aspects of it, if not for this. It isn't just... arousal, either. Just so you know and are prepared. It isn't just that it gets me a little excited, or interested in sex. I've orgasmed from the Our Father prayer and no other stimulation. It's ~~better than~~ as good as sex, for me.

	Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-27 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	~~Oh. I'm not judging. I don't how to reply to that~~ Oh. It's very intense then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marta \| Rowan martaherrera 2016-06-27 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	I've never been good at describing it. It's like... hours and hours of the most amazing foreplay, but you're just sitting there fully clothed, nothing happening while enjoying a service, listening to someone speak in a language you don't really understand. But the ceremony of it, the reverence, it makes you just... throb everywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta \| Rowan rowanteague 2016-06-29 08:33 pm UTC (link)
