Education is my passion. There's nothing that equals the charge I get when I learn something new or share something with someone else. I began teaching classes locally in 2006 beginning with my first love, rope. My classes have kept pace with my developing taste for edgier play, relationship issues, and how all of this happens inside our brains. I retired from my day job in 2012 and have spent the time since traveling across North America and Europe to learn how this works in different cultures, sometimes teaching but always learning from those I encounter. On occasion, when I can't find what I'm hungering for, I'll host events such as Torture in Texas. If you see me at an event near you, I hope you'll share some of what you've learned with me.

-Vixxen-
I've been on FetLife for over 2 years now and one of my firm beliefs is the need for education. I enjoy teaching a plethora of subjects, but I also enjoy learning from all those I interact with, whether they be Dom, sub, Switch, Master, slave, teacher, newbie, or unsure. I've taught at E-P-I-C events since their inception. Beltane gave me my first opportunity to be a "real" instructor. I have also taught for the Lesbian Sex Mafia group in New York and held impromptu classes at all local venues.

DomGuido93
Generally, I am mostly known for my phrase "gasp for joy", as breathplay is one of my best kinks and activities I demonstrate the most, but aside of that I've been running the Cigars On The Porch munch/social for over a year, and been an avid cigar aficianado for over 5 years. I have been in the lifestyle publicly and privately for several years. I come from a very spiritual background in how I view most things in life, including the dynamics of the lifestyle.
In my professional experience, I work daily with high diversity of persons at many different functioning levels, but common to all are basic needs and desires and motivations, each individually expressed and colored by their circumstance. Such is also the case of those who I have come to know of and become involved with in the lifestyle.
I am pleased to be a second-time E-P-I-C presenter and I regularly do demo work at Studio58 and Charm City Play Space. You will find me at various playspaces in the Mid-Atlantic area or munches and at Dark Odyssey camp events, probably cooking up good stuff for my fellow kinky campers. Also, I am one of the Community Town-Hall representatives for the Shenanigans! party group.

Pralinee
Hello I am Pralinee, DJ, and Professional Chef. As a kinkster, I am into harder playstyles, impact play and sadistic teasing. I am curious about pushing boundaries, but my caring and fun loving personality always comes shining through eventually.
Being one of the owners of the Keep it Kinky organization I am active in the Dutch scene as creator and organizer of kinky events for various target groups. Keep it Kinky is known for having established the Club Femme parties as a popular and regular Femdom event in the Netherlands. Apart from offering room for socializing and play, Club Femme hosts demonstrations and workshops, for instance on fire cupping, anal play, hard & sharp play, violet wand, fear play and many more.
For bondage and rope lovers Keep it Kinky organizes monthly Peer Rope meetings in Rotterdam and we are also organizing a foot fetish party in February, called Super Tramp! I am very proud that we have succeeded cooperation with Phoenix B for a whole weekend of workshops on Blood Intensive and Artistic Cutting in March! Last year, we have started organizing kinky photoshoot events like Urbex for creative kinksters. And last but not least, Keep it Kinky is organizing bi-monthly Munches.
My motto for the Dutch kinky lifestyle is: discover, share, learn and create while you are having fun!
Gazer has been active in the public scene for over 15 years. He began his journey as a Dominant but now enjoys a much more fluid identity. While he enjoys almost all forms of play, he has been a fire bug all of his life and it only got worse when he started learning about fire play over a decade ago.
Gazer enjoys sharing his techniques and passion with others. He has presented on fire play in many forms for several years now. Nothing "churns his butter" quite like seeing someone experiencing fire for the first time.

Lord Percival
Lord Percival has been active in the scene, both in private and in public, for more than 40 years.
While many of us know him for his mastery of rope, he also has an extensive knowledge of many other areas of play, including but not limited to: take-downs, breath play, caning, whips, electricity, knives, pressure points and mental bondage, aka hypnosis. Education is a particular passion of Percy’s. He has been a teacher, lecturer, mentor, and trainer in the scene for over a quarter century. Currently, he is Director of Programming and Education on the Board of NELA (New England Leather Alliance), and has been chair of the Fetish Fair Fleamarket(R).
As a child, Allan Hunter admired the girls and therefore emulated them and competed with them and played with them. By puberty he was being called "faggot" and "queerbait" and beaten up for his presumed sexual preference.
At the age of 21, he was under a lot of social pressure to come out as something, but there was no term for it. It was 1980, 20 years before the word "genderqueer" would roll off anyone's tongues. But he formulated an explanation of his gender identity and sexual orientation and began to circulate it on University of New Mexico campus.
He was confident, excited about the social and political implications of this gender identity. But his material didn't make sense to people and, faced with a fervent student attempting to talk about sex in ways that people didn't understand, university officials arranged to have him detained in a psychiatric hospital.
Newly confident that he was actually OK, he started a mental patients' liberat
