BOUNDLESS 2026

A talk and demonstration about why, how and when we might engage in tickling play. Covering safety and negotiation, including the tickling kink’s relationship to Consensual Non Consent, bondage ideas, use of tools in session and entering into or creating the right headspace for you and your partners.

Bratting is often only seen as a way to get “broken (down)” in a scene. There are however lots of different ways and reasons to brat. In this class we explore bratting in detail, covering different kinds of bratting, ways to be creative with it, and how to use it to express desire in a scene or dynamic. We also look at de-escalation tools for when bratting goes too far. This class is primarily aimed at s-types with existing interest or experience in bratting, but contains plenty of useful information for D-types who have (or want) a brat at home!

We often talk about mitigating risk in kink, but part of what makes kink fun is that we are introducing risks to what we do. This workshop takes a different look at risk that centres not only risk mitigation but risk introduction. It will involve group discussion and practice negotiating while centering introduced risk, and practice negotiating actions to be taken if a risk isn’t successfully mitigated.

Hands are an incredibly versatile and always-available tool for impact play. Just like other forms of impact, they can be used on a spectrum of intensity and moods. This workshop will discuss using the hands for impact, covering punching and other strikes. It will include demonstrations, instruction and the opportunity to practice several specific techniques, as well as discussing the reasons for and risks of this kind of play.
This workshop is aimed at practical skills for tops, whether attending with a partner or alone, although space will also be given to bottoming considerations particular to this type of play.

While humiliation play is often regarded as a psychological minefield, it remains one of the most intimate and exciting forms of kink. In this talk, we are going to explore why and how it works, mistakes we’ve made and how best to do it right. Returning on what he promised only to be a bi-yearly thing, best_in_show is back to lead this signature session. He’ll be begrudgingly sharing his proprietary systems and highly subjective personal views. Come for the insight, stay for the constructive roasting.

Offering an entry-level introduction to the topic, this workshop explores the role of service in D/s dynamics. Throughout the session, attendees will be invited to consider the definition of service, different approaches and styles, and the benefits that service can offer to both the Dom and the sub, including sexual and domestic service. Boss Ed and cboy will also discuss how service can be established or developed for kinksters where health conditions or disability plays a factor in D/s connections.

“Good practice” for lifestyle authority transfer often states very clear areas of control, but what if you want spontaneity as well as safeguards? We use a non-contractual model where control can be expressed through collaborative discovery rather than goal-oriented planning. We will explain the benefits and drawbacks of both contractual and discovery-oriented styles of negotiations. The class will focus on the development of shared understanding, self-knowledge and communication skills needed to responsibly manage discovery-oriented styles of negotiation.

Ever wondered why some of us secretly enjoy a good struggle or a satisfying snap? This workshop dives into the fascinating spectrum of masochism; from everyday habits to deeper psychological expressions. We’ll explore how and why we seek discomfort, what it reveals about us, and how to work with it rather than against it. Expect lively discussion, honest reflection, and a hands-on experiment involving elastic bands that might just change how you think about pain. Come curious. Leave enlightened. Slight stinging optional.
