CLASSES
Give the Lady a Hand
This workshop will discover the erotic art of hand balling as done with a female partner. Vaginal fisting has long been practiced in the lesbian community, but there is no need to be lesbian to enjoy giving or receiving this intensely intimate gift. As a gay man, Hardy has been long familiar with male anal fisting; even though the anatomy involved with a female is different, the intimate and powerful experience makes this one of his favorite kinks. Step outside your comfort zone and join us. Safety, preparation and active demonstrations will make this a memorable session.
The Male G Spot
An exploration of the prostate and how it can enhance and super-charge your sex. Once thought to be just for gay men, ass play has moved into the mainstream as more and more men regardless of sexual orientation, learn the pleasures of the "Male G Spot". This class will discuss hygiene, physiognomy and techniques and there will be demonstrations, so this is not for the shy. Be prepared to find a few surprises.
