An Intriguing Class for Masochists

While I am not currently a Society of Janus member, I have been in the past, and every now and then I check their calendar to see what interesting stuff may be coming up.

It's not often that a class listing makes me start drooling like Pavlov's dog, but tonight I noticed this upcoming event at the Citadel:

Tuesday, June 3 2008
8:00pm - 10:00pm

"Pain and Catharsis"

Would you like to take your masochism to the next level? Do you wish to have less fear and more catharsis in your scenes? This class focuses on exploring and developing ways of channeling energy/pain, as well as learning to experience catharsis with authenticity. Each participant will have the opportunity to try multiple methods for processing pain, as well as gain an understanding of the advantages, disadvantages and potential uses of these ways. The class is geared towards masochists, but sadists and other orientations are welcome to attend.

Admission: $20

Doors: 7:30pm

Class: 8:00pm

Guh! A class full of masochists, learning how to be better masochists. If I can clear my schedule, I'm definitely going this one. I'll be the one with the bib for my drool. ;D

Sadiste:

Don't hesitate if the instructor needs you to volunteer and help get through all the demos.

Volunteer? As the stunt masochist? No, thanks. I can take a lot of pain as it is, but I only get off on giving it.

And as a volunteer sadist? I dunno... I'm not acquainted with the teachers, and it would be pretty irresponsible of them to invite someone they don't know to torture their demo-bottoms.

But I'll be fantasizing about it all the while regardless. :D

Sadiste:

You know that all the masochists will volunteer. The instructor will be hard pressed to torture them all.

The only REAL cruelty would be to leave some yearning masochists un-abused!
