Barak and Brat Sheba

Community Activists and Lifestyle Educators,
Barak & Brat Sheba

Barak
Barak is a wickedly perverted, poly, semi-het, sadistic quasi-Dom, who never takes himself too seriously. After an initial foray into the scene in the early 90s, he segued in order to investigate other avenues of spiritual/sexual exploration. Four years ago, The Brat convinced him to return to the public BDSM scene and since then it has been an intense, wild and crazy ride. He has long enjoyed sharp, shiny and pointy things which are the basis for their favorite presentation. His current preferences in play include single tails, take down and resistance play, knife and needle play, biting, scratching and heavy impact play, and he loves a really great mindfuck.

Having been together for over 7 years, Barak & Brat Sheba are a primary partnered, open relationship couple, living in Columbus, Ohio. They have been involved in Alt Sex communities for their entire relationship. Currently, they are exploring more of the Protocol D/s experience, and have collared their kitty; a lovely and obedient submissive. While in search of their bliss, they have explored various avenues of sensual, sexual, spiritual and hedonistic delights. They made their kink public in the Columbus BDSM scene a little over three years ago. They currently run Adventures in Sexuality, a frolicking, fun PanPolyBDSM group, are among the founding members of ULICK – The United Leadership in Columbus Kink, and present classes for leather and non-leather groups.

Brat Sheba
Sheba calls herself a poly bisexual switch, but most people call her other things…like Princess, The Brat, Bitch, Slut, Shoe Whore, and Mistress!

Sheba has been participating in alternative lifestyles for over seven years. She has the great honor to be part of a tight-knit spiritual family and an equally intimate poly family. These intentional families, as well as her Leather family, have allowed her to express herself and learn more about her needs, wants, and desires.

The types of play she likes include: Age Play, Resistance/Take-Down play, Fear play, Impact play, Spanking, Knife/Needle Play, and Genitorture.

PanPolyBDSM, Pansexual, Polyamorous, BDSM: (Course overview)

What it is and how to do it with excessive risk!
All through our development, our imagemakers teach us through example and lecture, that marriage and relationship is comprised of two people who love each-other. What happens when we challenge this paradigm? Do we explode? Cease to exist? Not likely. In this class we talk about Polyamory (Poly) within the BDSM context. How to create intimate bonds with people other than a primary, for love, support, growth, healing, exploration.

How to do Poly, not only without damaging the primary, but bringing more strength to it! We will also discuss some of the major pitfalls and how to avoid them or overcome then when they do happen... and believe us, they do!

Bratting 101: (Course overview)

Do you want my submission? You can have it, if you can take it.
Brat energy can bring an increased level of connection and playfulness to a scene. Have you ever felt the need to incessantly poke the tiger? To pull their tail and see if you get a bite?

Within this class, Brat Sheba will take you on the journey to discover, awaken, and learn to play with your inner Brat! We will discuss the elements and levels of Brat play including how to share your bratty desires with a Top from negotiations to aftercare, how it can incite the Top’s energy and creative sadism to higher levels, and how much fun and spontaneity it brings to a scene.

We will also cover Bratting basics such as recognizing Tops that love us, how do you know if you’re a Brat, and how to mix the Brat with other types of play. From the Top Standpoint, Sir Barak will share how Brats and SAMs differ, how to interact with a bratty bottom, and how to move into a more serious space. Time allowing, we will end with Brat Sheba taking all comers - poke poke (just kidding) with a brief demo.
