Phillip Wolf, more popularly known as Boymeat, is a 31-year-old native New Yorker. Discovering The Eulenspiegel Society (TES) at the age of 19, he quickly became an active participant and presenter in the New York SM scene. A former TES board member, he also holds memberships with the Gay Male SM Activists (GMSMA), the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) and the Leather Archives & Museum. He is also an associate member of the New York boys of Leather and active with New York’s Leather Pride Night Committee.

Best known for his outreach to the younger members of our community, he co-created the concept of The Next Generation (TNG), specialized groups serving young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 who are interested in SM. Boymeat was the co-founder of both TES-TNG and GMSMA-TNG, groups that helped kick off the national TNG movement. He also helped organize the first 3 national TNG conferences – Chickenstock in 1999, Second Coming in 2002, and TNG3: BDSM in the Big City in 2003. He has presented on TNG and other issues at multiple Leather Leadership Conferences, and delivered the keynote speech at TNG4: Bound for the Bay.

Known as a SM educator, he has taught at almost every major educational event in the United States. He has taught SM, role play, fetishes, and relationships at TES Fest, Black Rose, South Plains Leather Fest, Dungeon 701-901, Portland Kinkfest, and many others. He has also been asked to teach to students at New York University and Columbia University. Finally, he presented keynote speeches at SM Odyssey’s Folsom Fringe 2007 and Rio Grande Leather 2007.

Boymeat is honored to have experience on the title circuit as a judge both at Ms. World Leather 2006 and South East Leatherfest 2007. In addition, he appreciates the chutzpah it takes to run for a title, having run for Gotham Leatherman 2000. An honor he has been most proud of has been serving as Tallymaster at IML 30.

A bisexual, polyamourous switch, with a penchant for foot fetishism, incest role play and piss play, Boymeat is rumored to be the quite the sadist. An aspirational handcuff collector and leather history slut, he is the man who nerve.com said "makes the Marquis de Sade look like Pat Boone.” It is with great pleasure that we welcome Boymeat to Thunder in the Mountains 2008.

Surviving Corporal 101 -- How to Handle the Physical and Emotional Effects
 Bottom: TBD

Pain is a very complicated thing, both physically and mentally, and it creates a myriad of responses in the body. On the physical side there are the nerve impulses bombarding the brain from the pain side—“Ow, Jeez! Fuck, that hurts like shit!” Then there are the mental & emotional effects resulting from all of the thoughts that goes through one’s head as the floods the body. Processing both the physical and the mental/emotional pain during a scene can be quite difficult for the novice, but there are some great ways to deal with it. In this seminar, presented for the first time at Thunder, Boymeat offers a detailed perspective on processing pain, and he maps out the many various avenues for turning it into cathartic experience. He will discuss the reasons some of us choose to endure pain, where we want it to take us, and what we can ultimately get out of it. So, if you are a pain bottom or if you simply want to understand more about how pain is processed in a corporal scene, then this is a seminar you cannot afford to miss!

 
Foot Fetishism--It Ain't Just For Bottoms Anymore
 Bottom: TBD

OK--- from our long experiences in the scene, most of us know all about playing with backs, butts, genitals, chests, pecs, legs and thighs...but…..how about feet? What do we know about eliciting moans and groans from a person whose feet we are manipulating? Is it possible to have a foot fetish, and be a sadist at the same time? In this seminar Boymeat will teach us the basics of what it means to be a foot fetishist and to elicit both agony and ecstasy from the feet of our play partners. He will discuss abrasion, temperature sensation, flogging, paddling, and the “crowd” favorite, Bastinado. And toward the end of the seminar he will also throw in a few secret surprise techniques that promise to expand our arsenal of BDSM “weapons”. If you have always harbored a secret desire to really explore your partner’s feet close up and personal, then this is a seminar for you!
