Florentine Flogging, Lesson One with Travis: Video Tutorial

 Previous publicity for this event.

From Papa Tony:  Travis is an incredible teacher, and we all made progress. He taught basic Florentine Flogging, which means using two floggers simultaneously.

I don't know about anybody else, but I am NEVER going to depend so much upon one hand, ever again!  It's really nice using two.

Thanks to our gracious host slave keith, it was a warm, safe and welcoming space. As you can see in the photo above, the men were intimate, sociable and playful!

Even better, we get to practice our new skills at tonight's Hands-On Demo… RSVP to SignMeUpForEvent @ gmail.com to get the location.

Florentine Flogging Lessons with Travis, Part One

 Calling All Tops!

Tuesday, August 26, 6PM - RSVP to SignMeUpForEvent @gmail.com for location.

See the bottom of this message for prerequisites.

Click here for the video

Our own Travis will be teaching FMSD Tops how to do Florentine Flogging (meaning, using two identical floggers simultaneously).  

Travis will be teaching those of us who are ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH BASIC FLOGGING, since this is an advanced technique.  If you aren't yet familiar, you WILL be used as a flogging bottom!

If you're not prepared with your flogging skills, don't worry - Everybody will get their chance, and we won't leave anybody behind in the months to come. We want the maximum number of cocky, empowered and handsome Tops swaggering into a party with floggers dangling from their belts!

This same technique also works with whips.

PREREQUISITES BEFORE ATTENDING:

- Be comfortable with throwing a flogger one-handed. 

- If you do not possess two identical floggers (I get mine from FlogMeBaby.com, and I suggest the Mr. Thuddy for $45 each)…

… take two identical hand-towels (nothing bigger), and tightly roll them thusly, and secure them with rubber bands:

Or, just bring matched hand-towels to the event, and we will supply rubber bands.  These items will be used to learn the Florentine form of movement during this workshop.

From Papa Tony:

I am the founder of FMSD, and ran it for years. Now that I have stepped down as a community leader, I am embracing the role of Elder in our Tribe.  This means that my duties have changed.  I now:

- Celebrate when men in our community have reached their next level of achievement

- Mentor others when requested, and

- Preserve our cultural history. As part of this effort, I am starting a series of talks where I share what has happened in the realm of gay leathermen in the last 38 years, based upon my own experience.

These talks are meant to be real, explanatory and true, even if they are sometimes uncomfortable to hear.  As I shift into my older years, I feel a strong need to tell my story, rather than take it to my grave, like so many men in our Tribe are doing.
