⚜️ Are you a beginner interested in BDSM or would you like to expand your knowledge? Or are you wondering: How does it work? And why? ⚜️
Especially at the beginning, people are often unsure and don't know how to get started, or they may have fears and prejudices regarding BDSM. However, these are completely unfounded. As an experienced Dom and workshop leader, I am very familiar with the uncertainty that many people initially feel.
But don't worry. I'll meet you exactly where you are, take you by the hand, and guide you attentively, expertly, and entertainingly through all the challenges. This 2-hour introductory course, part of the PASSION trade fair, offers both beginners and those interested an insight into the fascinating, diverse, and wonderful world of BDSM.
"How can I integrate BDSM into my sexuality, or are your needs and inclinations even more intense?"
In this seminar, I will teach you the basics of BDSM: how to get started, what to pay attention to and what to avoid, safe restraint methods, how to act as a Dom, how to be creative, how to let go as a Sub, safety aspects, different play styles, valuable tips, session examples, the correct handling of a Sub, impact toys, toys and other equipment, and much more for safe and fulfilling BDSM sessions.
This course is ideal for people interested in BDSM who want to know what it is and how it works. It's open-minded, humorous, and eye-opening.
═════════════════════════════════════
⚜️ The following topics are planned: ⚜️
• What is BDSM?
• How do I recognize my inclinations?
• Principles (SSC, RACK,…), safeword, top, bottom and other terms
• Role distribution: Dominant, submissive, switcher, active or passive?
• Sadism/Masochism - The pleasure of pain
• Communication with the partner before, during and after the session
• What is bondage and how does it work?
• The correct handling of percussion instruments, toys and games
• Physical and psychological aspects, influencing factors, and safety
• How do I read my partner?
• How does one act as the dominant partner?
• How can I relinquish control and let go?
• How can I integrate BDSM into my sexuality?
• Kinky sex, BDSM as foreplay, semi-sexualized or even without sexual acts
• Do you like it rougher? Hand by the throat or hair pulling - but then really go for it.
• Session examples and how to design a session
• How to become creative yourself
• Aftercare and much more.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and informal; laughter is welcome.

⚜️ Here's what other participants said about my 2-hour introductory course at the OBSCENE trade fair in Karlsruhe 2025: ⚜️
⭐ Broadening your horizons with a definition of BDSM, perfect for beginners and those with little to no prior knowledge. Gillian is authentic. You can feel his enthusiasm. His open, tolerant, and approachable manner makes you feel comfortable and not at all silly, encouraging you to ask questions. What other course offers participants who maintain their full concentration for 2 or 5 hours? This is exactly what we wish for in schools, colleges, universities, team meetings, and conferences. We will definitely attend more workshops with Gillian. Elke and Ron
⭐ We're still amazed by what a truly special weekend we had. And you played a significant part in making it so. It was perfect for beginners (like our female partner). Your wide-ranging presentation with vivid examples from the world of BDSM, combined with your inimitable charm and humor, often brought a smile to our faces.
It was our first time and certainly not our last experience with you.
⭐ Gillian has tons of practical tips and conveys them with passion and humor. It's great how he connects with "his" submissive and clearly presents which attitudes and factors are good for a session and which can disrupt the flow. He also engaged the audience well. The two hours flew by.
⭐ That was a thoroughly successful event with many exciting and new insights into the world of BDSM. It could easily have been longer than two hours, as it flew by.
⭐ Gillian always manages to convey to course participants just how passionate and erotic BDSM can be, while simultaneously presenting the content with humor and without making light of the subject. I have several years of experience in BDSM and still always take away new insights from the workshops. The course is absolutely suitable for newcomers because Gillian manages to provide good insights into the BDSM world without making the topic intimidating for the inexperienced. He and his partner demonstrate practical examples that immediately create a palpable tension in the room. Great guy, great style, I'd love to see more workshops!
