Blood Play

For centuries, blood has fascinated and inspired artists, scientists, and writers. From depictions of crucified Jesus and vampires to routine medical tests, blood is seen as both a sacred life force and an essential element of the human body. Now, it also holds a place in the world of kink.

Blood play in BDSM is considered edge play and carries risks that all participants should be informed about. It is rarely SSC (safe, sane, and consensual) and is mostly practiced as RACK (risk-aware consensual kink) or PRICK (personal responsibility, informed, consensual kink). The key principle is informed consent—this workshop will provide the knowledge needed to minimize risks and explore blood play safely.

Course Overview
This workshop offers a structured introduction to blood as a fetish and blood play as a kink. Topics covered include:
– What’s blood fetish and what’s the appeal behind it?
– Blood play safety and what risks should be avoided when using blood in your BDSM sessions.
– Anatomy, negotiation, preparation, aftercare, and adequate clean-up.
– Different techniques to draw blood, also the ones that don’t leave long-lasting marks or scars.

Practice and Hands-On Learning
A practice person will be available, giving all participants the opportunity—if they choose—to apply what they have learned on a real person under professional guidance. This allows for direct experience with technique execution and valuable real-time feedback.
