Sensation Play, Mindfuck, arousal, ecstasy, and intimate play – welcome to Kink Education with Swen Brandy (CARNIVORE).
In this workshop, educator Swen Brandy (CARNIVORE) sensitively introduces participants to the fascinating world of playing with the wet element, with a strong focus on safety.
Waterboarding – A Ritual of Sensation and Surrender
Playful Edge Play Workshop
Level: Higher Beginner – Intermediate / BDSM experience required
In this comprehensive workshop, we explore the techniques, rituals, and psychology behind erotic water play. Safety and consent are at the very center.
Within a structured and mindful environment, we explore how eroticism can intersect with fear, and how boundaries can be approached as part of intense yet consensual scenes – challenging limits while simultaneously deepening trust.
Under the guidance of Swen Brandy (CARNIVORE), we explore not only the technical aspects, but also the ritual, psychology, communication, and safety considerations that make this form of edge play so intense and powerful.
Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and practical exploration, you will deepen your skills in presence, communication, and the conscious creation of intensity.
The workshop is particularly suited to experienced BDSM practitioners who want to expand their existing skills and explore new forms of sensory and psychological play.
It is also particularly suitable for professional Dominatrixes who want to expand their repertoire and integrate sophisticated water-based sensation and edge-play techniques into their professional practice.
All methods are explored within a framework of playful cooperation. The focus is on entering play safely, building ritual, working with mindset, and using technical tools with an extremely conscious and cautious approach.
The workshop covers not only safety checks and medical considerations, but also how to create intense sensory experiences with minimal effort and risk.
We explore mindset work, combining existing BDSM skills with water play, and consciously creating space for new experiences.

INSTRUCTOR
SWEN BRANDY (CARNIVORE)
Former competitive martial artist
Experimentalist / Sadist / Masochist / Fetishist
Artist and Kink Educator
Swen Brandy explores the complex connection between body and mind in unusual and often challenging situations.
Inspired by the concepts of “The Easy Way” and “When Masks Fall,” he places particular emphasis on the transformative power of nonverbal communication in play, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships.
His motto:
“When the final mask falls, beauty reveals its purest form.”
Brandy combines BDSM, fetish, and sex-positive themes with photography and film to create deeply personal and challenging experiences.
His work goes beyond mere documentation. At its center is the experience of intense shared moments and the conscious exploration of emotional and physical boundaries.
He guides individuals and couples in exploring sex-positive and BDSM-oriented forms of play and brings extensive experience in documenting such experiences through photography and film.
Key areas of his work include physical challenges, edge play, impact play, rough body play, and creative play concepts for private and professional settings.
Through his workshops and projects, Brandy creates consensual spaces for self-exploration, intimacy, and personal development.
Spaces in which people can discover the joy of being fully present and create intense, lasting experiences – even without a camera.
