“Approach it all with a fun mindset. If you're not having fun then what's the point.” - Mistress Crimson

Sunday evening there were a few new students who  decided to join me in exploring BDSM in more detail. It was awesome that so many came with an open mind, curious, and best of all prepared. We met at The Studio, a private south side location with beautiful décor, ambiance, and fascinating equipment.

We were sat in a semi circle, keeping Crimson at the center of our attention as her seat was later introduced to us as a 'Spanking Horse'. The orientation began with a brief introduction and an overview of Bondage/Behavior, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism. Aside from the technical aspects I always love the self identity component that the instructors
I find execute so well. Si se puede!

You can do this at home with your lover, spouse, significant other! Communication is the key. Several conversations NEED to
happen. The conversation BEFORE you initiate kinky play is so necessary to truly know your partners comfort levels, fantasies and desires. In this, boundaries can be set as well as green lights to have your way. It all boils down to fun for all if consideration and care for your partner are at the forefront. The verbal/non-verbal communication happens naturally during the session. Its ok to
laugh! Its ok to ask for more! Its ok to say what you do and don't like. 

We received tips on setting the scene, such as music, clothing and lighting options and being mindful of how all of these
things affect the mood. My favorite tip was to tease your partner! Teasing helps you to focus on what you want to do with and to your partner.

Great introduction, helpful details, and  then....

THE LIVE DEMONSTRATION

The demonstration, without too many details, was a wonderful way to see all of the tips for executing a scene in action. It went from sensual to lustful. From lustful to female dominating. From dominating to punishment. From punishment to reward. It was beautiful. The model was ready, willing and artfully handsome.

After the live demonstration we practiced a few saran wrap bondage techniques that were easy enough to try at home with
effective techniques that can immobilize your partner, leaving them vulnerable to pleasure at your discretion. I enjoyed the sensation of bondage. I had trust in my instructor and students as I was shrink wrapped and then later tied up. It  led me to imagine the heightened sensation I would have with my lover. Sex beyond fucking.

In short communicate, establish trust, show concern, tenderness and love, even if you're giving or receiving pain according to your lovers wishes. Most importantly have fun with your partner, be safe, and give it a try.

Special thanks Mistress Simone and Mistress Xena who so gracefully has invited The Meow University  back for more educational
sessions. Stay tuned!!!

I can't say that I don't learn something new everyday. Facesitting was definitely a new one for me. Sexual but no sex has to be involved... hmmm

So here is an opportunity that came across my desk that I wanted to pass on to my students and readers in the Chicago Area.

**DISCLAIMER: The Meow University has NO affiliation with the organizers of this contest, or the contestant requesting a model. Agreements should only be made with the parties involved (the contestant and the model)**

There is a young man that I know that is a competitor for a fetish entertainment company and is looking for a facesitting model to compete. Here's the information as it was emailed to me:

The fetish entertainment company is having its 5th annual competition for hire. This competition is based on employment for the company. Please note: you do not have to join the company. In result of winning the competition, you will be offered a contract to join their team.

 This competition involves smothering and domination. Role playing is involved. No sex is allowed. The objective is to have the man suffer by sitting on his face fullweight in skit as punishment. In the end, the women  have the power. The best skit will have the victory.

The competition rewards have changed. The grand prize is now 50 grand each. 55 grand in
lingerie. 60 grand in thongs or g-string. 2nd place is 20 grand. 25 grand in  lingerie. 30 grand in thongs or g-string. 3rd place is a free cruise for a week.  3 photo shots of the women sitting on their victims are required. The purpose of the photos are to show proof  who each team have. That is all. The company wants the public to know that they are a fetish company; not porn. This is a serious matter. If sex is shown in your videos, then you will be disqualified. No exceptions.

People are allowed to wear masks and wigs during the duration of the videos. Nobody will be on the internet. If you feel that once joined in the competition, that it wasn't  up to your expectations, then you may leave the contest at any time. Money will be refunded to you if you exit before deadline date. This competition is real and safe.

**The company name has been left out to protect the privacy of the company and the contestant seeking a model. If you are interested in this opportunity please email your picture and contact information to themeowuniversity@gmail.com SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY Please send in your email by December 5th**
