Puppy Play 101

by Shawn Michael and his pups

Friday, July 9, 2004 from 7:30 to 9:30 PM
Room 301, LGBT Center, 1800 Market Street, San Francisco
$2-5 sliding scale - no one turned away

Have you ever noticed your partner getting a happy glint in their eye and wagging their rump when you mention certain activities? Ever seen a Lady leading her boy around the dungeon on all fours and noticed he's not red-faced and humiliated - no, he actually LOOKS like a puppy and is happily sniffin and rompin around behind her? What is this tail wagging phenomena all about? What's it all about?

Shawn Michael, the current International Puppy Trainer, will be joining us with one or more of his pups to lend insight into human puppy ways. Are the pups trainable? Is this a sex scene, a role play scene, or something else? One thing they'll tell you is that it's not about humiliation. Rather, to someone with the heart of a leather dog, puppy play is about joy. Shawn's pup patch, International Puppy 2003, calls it her Doggie Zen. Shawn's slave, "the other pup", wags happily and leans in for scritches. No blushing cheeks and bowed heads here, just openly joyful faces.

Join us in sharing their enthusiasm as we explore the care and training of human pups.  For more information online, visit 
Pup and Trainer.

screwup is for trannies, queers, and our friends. This event is open to all genders and will be held in room 301 at the LGBT Center (please note the different location for screwup this month!). Folks sometimes go out for coffee or food afterwards, so come prepared...

The cost for room 301 at the LGBT Center is $40, so please donate $2-5 sliding scale - no one turned away! The LGBT Center is wheelchair accessible.
