TMG Presents......Midori!


The Triangle Munch Group is very pleased to announce that Midori is scheduled to visit our group on August 5, 2006. TMG is currently making efforts to work with groups across the state to help with this event. Groups that are assisting TMG with this event will be listed as affiliate groups. Members of these groups will get discounted rates for this event. Thus far affiliate groups are: SSCN, BR, CAPEX, and WINK. We hope to have more affiliate groups listed soon. Anyone who is 21+ years of age is welcome to attend this event.


Since this event is VERY different from our regular TMG events we highly encourage you to read this entire message carefully.


Schedule of Events



10:00-12:30- Bondage & Kink Outside the Box


Midori describes this class as "a new creative angle to rethinking bondage. Some wacky stuff to get people to rethink bondage in a creative way." Also this workshop will be combined with an exploration of the standard definitions of kink roles and an expansion of what kink is all about. In this workshop, she will also map out a fine-tuned and flexible framework that anyone can use to help describe their deviant desires. As we all know, that is the first step to fulfilling them!. This class is for bondage enthusiasts and those who don't quite fit into the standard boxes...and for anyone who is curious about their own possibly untapped potential!

Oh, I think I'll go to that. I am terrible with rope.

 

[@}-}rebecca----]

Sounds like bliss a whole day of focus and no typing required.........

I don't 'do' jealous so have a wonderful time, just wish it was here or I there

I'm looking forward to the rope, but I also admit to looking forward to the talking dirty class (we're attending all three classes). I get really embarrassed and shy when I try to talk dirty

Sorry, hun, I live about 3 hours or so from that area Besides, would be my Master's call. However, you could sign up on the TMG server and ask if anyone would be available for playtimes then

 

[LunarKitten]

*nods* That's why we just couldn't pass the classes up, regardless of how far along I am. Well, that and it's only like the second time she's been in the area in three years, so who knows when the next chance we'd get to go to one of her classes.

Ill be working my ass off unfortunately. I would love to go to a rope workshop. Hopefully this winter.

 

[Sex & Diamonds]

I was lucky a few years back to see Midori in person. If anyone can get to this one, I'd Highlyrecommend it. Enjoy and don't forget to tell us everything you learned

Update from the field

The first session is over and it was great.

News at eleven.

 

[@}-}rebecca----]

I have a genuine first hand account that Midori has actually 'fallen' for our saw_man

 

[saw_man1]

She's not fooling me

The second session has ended and it was equally entertaining. Overcoming my innate shyness, I volunteered to participate in a demonstration with Midori. She came over to where I was sitting and positioned a chair in front of me. Leaning closer and exposing her surprisingly ample cleavage, she started talking to me in a low, sultry, and seductive voice. She had the sweetest smile on her face as she proceeded to tell me that she would rather be eviscerated by wild boars than have sex with me. Using that same sultry voice and sweet look she went on to say that I made her skin crawl. After several more similar endearments she stood up and asked the class if they now understood the importance of delivery coupled with intent.

She then turned back to me and told me I was the hottest man she had ever seen. (finally the truth comes out). She said I took her places no other man ever took her etc. etc……. Unfortunately she said all this with her jaw clenched and her fists balled up. Evidently that was another lesson in the importance of matching the delivery to the message.

I know what’s really going on though; she wants me. I can tell.

Midori's Favorite Ropes

1. Hemp is her favorite and for obvious reasons. She did warn that not all hemp is created equally. Twisted Monk has some decent quality rope however she prefers a source from Japan.

2. Braided cotton is a close second. It is inexpensive and holds a great knot.
I brought some flat cotton rope that caught her eye. Sash cord or upholstery piping or cording is a good choice for tying hands or feet.

3. Nylon is a distant third. It is easy to find but doesn’t hold a knot well. She cautioned that nylon should never be used for suspension.

4. Barbed wire.

 

[saw_man1]

A good family activity

We played an interesting parlor game during the second session. Three pieces of different colored paper were handed out. Our instructions were to describe our fantasy lover/playmate on the orange paper. We were told to use the yellow paper to describe the sex act(s) we want to perform with the aforementioned playmate. The green sheet was for the location where all this would take place.

Our submissions were then collected and passed back out at random. Everyone got someone else’s fantasies.

She asked the crowd if any of us got an odd or humorous scenario. I did, so I volunteered to read mine to the group.

I was going to be engaging in “flogging, tit slapping, and ass fucking” with a “6 ft. tall male feline humanoid, with fur, retractable claws, fangs, and a prehensile tail”, and we were going to be doing our thing “in a cage on a city street”.

During the break some tiny little woman came up to me and said “that was my sex act”.
To which I replied, “you mean the ass fucking and the tit slapping?” “yes, and don’t forget the flogging.” I wont bore you with the rest of the conversation. I never realized there were so many nice people in North Carolina.

This would be a great game to play when the family is gathered together for Christmas or Thanksgiving.

CP and I use Statitory Grape Hemp from TM. It's a lot nicer quality than most I've seen (though we know some real masochistic tops who like to cure their own hemp lol)

Cotton also makes some really nice marks

Barbed wire
