Spiritual Fisting. Flatiron Mike Weyland
I plan to focus on the seduction and lust factors in creating the energy and connection that Fisting brings to the forefront. I started _sting in 2002 and have skills as a top as well as a bottom and enjoy _nding ways for 2 or more men to connect and create a positive sexual environment. I live in NYC and take advantage of that to meet as many men on the same journey as I am.
Turn Up the Heat on Your Handballing with Manhandling & Sensual Skin Foreplay. Andrew “Diabolique” Skin is the body’s largest organ, a huge sensor packed with nerves. In this workshop, Andrew, aka Diabolique, will talk about, demonstrate and invite everyone to experience how hands to work over a body, especially his butt, in ways that’ll get him buzzing, and his mind and hole even more receptive than they were to begin with. Through intense massage aka Manhandling, sensual spanking (it doesn’t hurt if it’s done right!), and other endorphin-triggering activities, you’re seducing him by bringing out his own naturally produced endorphines; thus the need or desire for enhancements often falls away.
Fisting Workshop, Part I.
This will be a Q&A on fisting which will include things like diet, cleaning out, scene etiquette, common sense approaches to hygiene and keeping your scene clean and sanitary, MRSA, HIV, Hepatitis, including new treatments. We will also discuss relaxation methods and techniques, opening your hole, etc.
Fisting Workshop, Part II.
This is the “lab” portion of our workshop where those who would like to practice under the guidance of experienced coaches can do so. Depending on how many would like to participate, we may either do this part inside the Heart Lodge or under one of the canopies.

He has been a member of Alameda County Leather Corps for 10 years, and is proud to be part of Mama’s Family (Mama’s Ethical Slut”). In the fisting community, Mr. Allan is well-known for his advocacy of “Organic” (clean and sober) fisting practices. Mr. Allan became legally married to his husband Randy in 2003 in Vancouver, BC.
NOVICE WORKSHOP This workshop will be divided into two parts. (NOTE: If you are attending the workshop section, you must attend the Q&A.
