Power exchange relationships thrive on structure, trust, and clarity — but what happens when emotions run high and communication breaks down? Enter “Table,” the emotional safeword that helped Master Damascus and slave Demir navigate conflict without sacrificing connection or protocol.
In this candid and often humorous class, they’ll share how “Table” became a tool for emotional regulation, respectful pauses, and returning to difficult conversations with intention. Blending real-life stories with insights from attachment theory, communication styles, and emotional intelligence, this workshop offers practical tools for any dynamic — especially when one or both partners lean avoidant.
Expect demonstrations, audience prompts, and strategies you can take home and use immediately. Because intimacy takes work — and sometimes, it takes a timeout.
Presenter: Damascus and demir
Damascus and demir started their leather journey when they began their relationship in 2014 and quickly found the Daddy / boy community in Dallas, Texas. In 2020 they began leaning more into the Master / slave lifestyle, though if you ask them, they find they are much the same. Damascus and demir are both Transgender men that are committed to bringing the M/S community to more of the queer community. Damascus identifies as a Master, a Daddy, and a little and often goes by Master Little Daddy. demir identifies as a slave, a boy, and a wolf pup. When Damascus is in little space, demir is often in puppy space and fun chaos can ensue. They are heavily into power exchange dynamics, and love to discuss various ways one can be of service. They are the Southwest Master and slave 2025 and both are members of MAsT Colorado Springs, Voodoo Leatherworks, and are honorary members of Arlington Leather United. They are the founders of Haus Valhalla and created and host the Leather and Lager Community Beer Bust held at the Denver Eagle to bring all the leather/ kink/ Master and slave community under one roof once a month in the hopes to be a more welcoming space for newer kinksters. When not up to kinky shenanigans, you can find these two outdoors with their fur-kids, and/or spending time with their "spawns".
