Just in time for Valentine's. Nothing says romance like dunking your sweetie in chocolate. Literally. Tonight we focus on painting warm thick chocolate onto ourselves and each other. Then finding fun ways to remove it. This play can also be done in delicate mehndi style. This is our tastiest playshop. It combines touch, taste, smell, art, imagination, and intimacy.

We'll look at the origins of chocolate cravings. Half of women surveyed said they'd choose chocolate over sex. Now you don't have to choose. And we'll see how to make chocolate healthy for you!

We cover the practicalities of using chocolate in erotic play, and learn how to avoid each of the potential problems. What are the most effective tools and ingredients? We'll use mainly strong chocolates, up to 72%, and provide all the equipment and materials. After a demonstration and discussion, we'll all practice it ourselves in a sensual, romantic setting.

This is a messy, hands-on, clothing optional event, mainly aimed at couples and groups that want to play and learn together. It is suitable for beginners to advanced.

RSVPs to edukink@yahoo.com (subject: "RSVP chocolate") strongly requested, but not required. We need to estimate the amount of materials to provide.

You don’t need to bring anything. You may bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. Undressing is permitted and common, but not required. This gets messy. Bringing a washcloth or change of clothes would be good.

Partners: Chocolate play can be practiced alone or in pairs/groups. It’s better to prearrange a lab partner, rather than try to pair up during the munch period. If you want to find a suitable partner in advance, we recommend you join and post on edukink.tribe.net

Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need to wear anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink /fetish. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome. If you have questions you may write to edukink at yahoo dot com

Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the guided hands-on workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice.
