Eid’s sensitivity to temperatures has manifested in a specialization of various sensation play: hot wax, fire, and scalding metal from cell popping. The sting of burns and smell of singed flesh becomes enticing to him when carefully applied. While ice isn’t always enjoyable, ultra-cold becomes just as powerful in the extremes.
The inner journey matters far more than a showy exhibition. When teaching his specialties of hot dripping wax, flame cups, fire flogging, or tumbling in rough body play, Eid focuses on how receivers can work through and guide such techniques. He cares more about how the sensations complete your connection – in a sensually savage way!

Ms. J

https://fetlife.com/Ms_J

Upon meeting Ms. J, know she is a force of nature—a complexity of contrast and contradiction. Her nicknames paint a vivid picture: the Happy Bouncy Sadist, Mama J, Nana Dragon, and the bus-driving, RACK-playing, mostly toppy kinda girl, Mistress J—Goddess of Fire. However, Ms. J describes herself quite simply as just J.

A self-proclaimed connection junkie, Ms. J delights in the dynamic energetic connections and exchanges formed during kink scenes. These may take the form of rough body play, pressure points, massage, and seductive play—where you hear a sadistic chuckle; or a mitt-full of hair and a knife pressed against your skin with a whispered, “Ima fuck you up.” Ask her to bite you while she pulls your hair. With almost 20 years of experience teaching in the kink community, she is best known for her deep knowledge of fire play.

If you find this elusive, ineffable creature in the wild… approach with caution, stealth, a small friendly smile, and perhaps a bit of dark chocolate!

Stretch & Surrender: A Beginner's Guide to Vaginal Fisting

Hello I am Trinket! (she/they)
I enjoy long walks through the forest, fiber arts, spicy romance novels and being tied, beat, bruised and broken.
I have been Mx. Knotty's #1 groupie/fan girl(friend) for 3+ years, traveling with her teaching kink and sex education for adults and sharing jaw dropping performances up and down the west coast.
I have a strong sense of justice, a deep passion for Risk Aware Consensual Kink (R.A.C.K.) and an innate belief that the brightest torch we can carry into the future is knowledge. I am deeply humbled and honored to be in a position to help carry the torch and shed light into the darkest and most taboo parts of humanity.
