Sucking (Non Bio) Cock
A blow job on a dildo…why? Simply put, fellatio is hot and sexy regardless of whether that cock is attached by nature or a harness or a pair of briefs; by birth or by identity.

At first glance, sucking off a dildo may seem to be simply about that silicone cock and a mouth.
Nope. In this workshop we will discuss the anatomy of the body and of the mind, different methods sure to drive anyone out of their heads and various ways to recognize and respect people's need for limits regarding touch.
Open to all genders.
