Education is SO important to me, being able to teach people things that I am passionate about is one of the reasons I feel like “I am here”.
My First Master, Marcus, was very big on the passing of Education from one member of the “Family Unit” to another. It was kind of expected, that if you know something, there is something of an obligation to teach those that dont know as much about it, in order for the Family “Unit” to work. Of course some people are better at some things than others, but Master Marcus did not want any “One Trick Pony’s” in His Household. I would teach those who didnt know things or as much about particular skills, and then they would teach me things I didnt know, or I would barter a service I was good at, in order to Learn a particular skill.
I am kind of the same within my own Leather Family, My Pup, Pakkun, is learning what it is like to be SIR to another, in Topping my boy “RudeBoy”. Pakkun has been asking me, and learning about how to get things across clearly and concisely, how to learn to “read” where RudeBoy is emotionally – before, during play, and afterwards. How to get the best from his new boy, and what it is like, from the “other end of the Leash”. In return, RudeBoy is also, both teaching and learning. Teaching Pakkun that he needs to be approached differently, and that not all boys are the same, but also learning from him. Rudeboy is learning that his Master, me, works differently to his Sir, Pakkun… and how to interact differently between the two.
Where I am going here, is that teaching is an exchange, I learn from the people attending my class, as well as teaching them. I have learned, in teaching different people, that to get the best out of people, everyone needs to be approached differently. I learn how to interact with more people, I learn more ideas, even on the things that I am teaching about, and I learn about the people within my community.
I will be teaching classes over the summer, All of my classes, from Boot Erotics/Bootblacking right through to Water Torture and Interrogation. I will be posting class locations and prices here on my blog, and also, on Fetlife
