What is flogging?
I honestly do not know what to reply when someone asks me to define what flogging is…
But I’ll try my best with this short Intro:
“A flogger is a stick with strings attached and I use this tool to generate experiences of pleasure through pain”
That’s perhaps the most accurate, rational description that I have achieved so far.
However, I always prove a feeling of dissatisfaction when I try to pack flogging in such sterile, academic definition.
I see flogging as an artistic expression, an unusual and twisted spiritual portal. A path to discover and play with our grey lines and shadows.
A flogging session can be ecstatic, shamanic, soul shifting, playful…
It’s a channel that has allowed me to connect with some people in a very genuine and deep way.
What is the aim of Flogging Journeys?
That’s not completely clear neither…
Although the main motivation that drives me to develop this project is to create Flogging Jams – Spaces of exploration, sharing and connection between other flogging amateurs, curious, passionate practitioners and Connoisseurs in Berlin.
Isn’t Berlin already packed with this kind of stuff?
Yes and no.
Although it’s evident that the offer of Kink & BDSM clubs, workshops and communities is vast and variegate in Berlin; I haven’t yet found a place focused on flogging with the type of atmosphere that I experience in Rope Jams or Contact Impro Jams. An ambient with calm / meditative music & clear / soft lightning where the focus is more on personal research rather than performance.
Apart from Jams, I also offer Private Sessions for Individuals or Couples under some special conditions.
Below you can find more information about this.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the site!
Flogging Jams in Berlin
Flogging Jams as melting pots for amateurs, curious, passionate practitioners and Connoisseurs
At the moment (September 2018) I’m not sure when and where the first flogging jam will happen,
but it will definitely come at the right time…
If you want to be informed and stay updated, I suggest you to Sign-up to my newsletter and/or Like my Facebook page.
I promise I don’t have neither the intention nor the time to send you any type of Spam, freebies or unrelated content.
The newsletter emails will just let you know about date and place of the Jams whenever they will happen.
Private Sessions
For Individuals and Couples
The positive feedback I have received from the people I have flogged in private sessions were the main push to ‘put myself out there’ with this project. And I feel very thankful to all my flogging Guinea Pigs who have given me their trust to beat them up in the name of research!
How a Private Session normally evolves?
This is a good question and I feel I can give you a less ambiguous answer than with the other ones!
I consider that I have a balance between improvisation and a systematic approach to flogging.
In general, a session lasts around 1.5-2 hours.
30 minutes of Warming up:
Including games and dynamics which let the mind enter an altered space where the roles and power positions are different from our quotidianity. This includes soft strokes with my most tender and gentle floggers.
I put very special attention to warming up. I see it as a Canvas preparation. A process which is essential to open up the channels for both me and the Sub to have a more intense and genuine experience.
Slowness is the key… in flogging, snails get farer than rabbits!
30 minutes of action:
Where the flesh starts getting red and warm. And maybe the Kundalini wakes up and shakes!
By this time, you might be reaching ecstatic and altered spaces.
Like an orchestra or a song, this is the pick of the experience. Where the pain trip gets to its highest.
Of course, during this time, I would occasionally check with you how much more are you willing or able to take. And I also trust my sensitivity reading body reactions and breath.
30 minutes of coming down:
As important as the warming up, the coming down is a very delicate and essential process to bring back our minds into more chill, quiet and stable frequencies.
This is the phase when we hug and cuddle or when I stay close to you without contact. Depending on the flow of the moment and your needs.
How much a Private Session costs?
On my non kink / daily life, I run a business that provides me with what I need in economic terms.
So, at the moment, although I take this project seriously, I would like to keep it as a pleasure / hobby / not-money-linked activity.
I see that this approach gives me also the privilege to decide with whom I feel right to engage with.
If you anyway want to, and feel more comfortable to compensate me with an economic contribution or another sort of exchange, we can of course discuss it. Just be aware that it’s not my main focus and motivation.
Drop me a line to contact@flogging-journeys.com to get in touch.
I’m looking forward to seeing what we can co-create!
