THE ART OF FIRE CUPPING
by MasterZChicago

Cupping has been used for centuries in Russian & Chinese medical practices and is a practice that carries over well into BDSM play. Master Z learned the fine art of Fire Cupping from his Russian born grandmother at the age of 10 when he used to carry her bags, equipment, and “remedies” to ailing relatives where his grandmother would administer herbal poultices, teas, fire cupping and other old world remedies.

Cupping has been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins. Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available. Fire Cupping is very useful and very safe (when done properly) and can be easily learned and incorporated into BDSM play. Fireplay enthusiasts and masochists alike enjoy this type of activity due to its melding of fire, pleasure and pain. Master Z will demonstrate intriguing and erotic places on the body that respond well to cupping with great emphasis on safety. Cupping will be taken beyond the basics of pump suction devices and the class attendee will learn the ancient art of Fire Cupping.

Up to 6 persons may volunteer for this class and you may find yourselves showing off your first set of “octopus bites.”
