Workshop - Pain for Pleasure with Cherry Velour & Mina
This one’s for the nerds. A deep dive into what pain really is - and why it can feel so good. Using neuroscience, psychology, and shared reflection, we'll dig into how the brain processes pain, when pain leads to pleasure, and how context and consent shape our experience. This is a discussion-based workshop with optional interactive exercises. Yes, you will get the chance to hurt each other - if you want!

Cherry Velour is a Leeds-based kink educator, performer, and dominatrix with over a decade of experience in BDSM communities around the world. Her work focuses on cultivating safety, emotional intelligence, and expression through play, pain, and power exchange. 

Mina is a Brighton based leatherdyke, Pro-Domme and queer porn performer. Their professional work centres around creative sadism, medical fantasies, sharps play and bondage. Beyond working life they are an avid sadomasochist and enjoy the delving into the exploration of pain and subversion of comfort.
