HOW TO TOP: For Bottoms, Nervous Switches & Uncertain Beginners
Bottom: TBD

Have you ever wanted to top in a scene or have you ever been asked to top your partner and you are not sure how to start? Are you worried about making mistakes, planning a great scene, or even figuring out what to do? Do you question your ability to read your partner's desires or limits during play? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you will surely want to attend Midori’s class developed just for people like you. In this class, taught for the first time at Thunder, Midori will offer some simple but very effective tips on subjects such as how to plan your scene, how to find your top space (and to stay there), how to read your partner, how both of you can have a great time in the scene, and other lessons on basic topping. For this seminar you may bring your partner or come alone, and Midori will introduce interactive exercises and lots of fun for all. In addition, if you have a particular toy you want to use on your partner or that you want your partner to use on you, bring it along. This is a class designed specifically for those who lack either the experience or the confidence to top effectively. If you are one of those people, then this is a class you cannot afford to miss!
