The Control Enthusiast

I’m bringing you yet another event I’m involved in around the time of the Feminist Porn Awards. This time I’m very happy to be presenting, with the help of both Good For Her and Northbound Leather, a workshop entitled “BDSM and Anal Play” with the lovely and talented Tristan Taormino.
I recently saw Tristan speak at U of T’s “Porn Reborn” conference and it made me even more excited to organize and participate in this workshop. She’s a fantastic presenter and a very engaging speaker. I’d written a review of her book “Opening Up” a while back – a book that remains my primary (ha!) recommendation to anyone interested in exploring ethical non-monogamy in whatever form. You can read that review here.
This workshop will take place on Sunday April 11th from 2pm to 4pm at Northbound Leather. To get more information and purchase tickets to the event, click here. It’s a small room at Northbound, and space will be limited, so if you want to hear about All Things Anal from someone who really knows what she’s talking about, grab your tickets now.

Last year around this time I had the pleasure of working with Madison Young for the first time, organizing her workshop “The Zen Submissive” at Northbound Leather, while she was here attending the 2009 Feminist Porn Awards. When I heard from the lovely people at Good For Her that Madison was going to be back in Toronto this year for the Awards, I didn’t waste much time in getting in touch with her and finding out if she’d be interested in working with me again to set up some appearances and events while she’s in town.
And, well, happily, yes.
Firstly, and this is very exciting for me, Madison will be appearing as one of our models for The Keyhole Sessions on Tuesday, April 6th. She’ll be on stage with Dylan Ryan – a combination I believe will make for a VERY interesting evening.
The next night I’ve arranged for Madison to host a presentation and discussion on Feminism and Submission at Café Taste, a fantastic wine bar here in Parkdale, in Toronto. It’ll be a couple hours of chatting and snacking and drinking, with some presentation material besides. Click on the link above for more info.
Thursday and Friday of that week are, of course, the 2010 Feminist Porn Awards. Which you should go to.
Saturday afternoon Madison is giving a workshop at Northbound Leather around puppy and pony play. Check the event page here for more info and a very cute picture of Madison the puppy. That workshop starts at 2pm, so even if you were out late the night before at the FPA’s after party, you can still make it (mostly) intact.
And all that in one week!
And that’s not even all.
More to come.

From this past Tuesday’s Keyhole Sessions. An experiment that pretty much worked. Click on the image for more pics from that night.
Thanks to Nathaniel for the pictures.
