Rough Crowd May: Backhanding, Redux

… [or] How To Celebrate Mother’s Day: Backhanding-style!

Let’s face it – backhanding looks really cool when it’s done well. We see it in the movies, but how safe is it to do in a scene? It turns out, backhanding is amazingly potent, and safe when done correctly.

In this class we’ll look at backhanding as an impact style and how the biomechanics differ from open-handed palm-side-first impact play. Come to this class to learn some wonderful techniques for backhanding on the shoulder, back, ass, foot, and other body parts. Time permitting, we may cover more advanced backhanding techniques such as using the hand as a whip, dragon’s tail, cat, and backhanding of genitals and even faces.

We’ll talk about safety, as always: where you can hit, where you should stay away from, and why there are places where you can hit open handed that you can’t backhanded.

Bringing your own play partner is always awesome, but not required; while couples and groupings are always encouraged to come together (hey, isn’t that always nice?), it’s not a requirement to have a partner to come to Rough Crowd.

All genders, ages, experience levels, races, shoe sizes, sexual orientations and preferences, religions, pet preferences, fitness levels, tax brackets, partnership status, poly, D/s, M/s, height, eye color, and pizza topping choices are welcome (even all veggie pizza, if that’s your thing; your pizza is not my pizza, and that’s OK).

If you’re into rough body play, or if you think this sounds interesting, then yes, it *is* for you. Come to Rough Crowd for overview, instruction, and practice time. Safety and technique will be first, and then ideas and practice time. No experience necessary; you’ll have some by the time you leave.

Spread The Word:
Rough Crowd is successful because you guys make it successful. When I post these things, they get as far as the people I know on my own feed, and the few groups I post them in. But the more people this reaches, the better. To spread the word beyond my own personal network, so and we can reach a larger and more diverse crowd, you can help. The more the merrier, and new faces are always welcome and encouraged.
