Jonn Ireland

JONN IRELAND has been involved in the Sex-Positive Community for many years and a Whip Instructor for several years. His first inspiration to use a whip came after attending a seminar given by Robert Dante at the Wet Spot in Seattle 6 years ago. The power exchange that he observed being developed and the control and precision required to use a whip in a scene lured him into exploring in depth the unique techniques of how to use a whip in BDSM scenes. Jonn discovered that with a good whip, proper instruction, and regular practice, most people are able to use a whip in a scene in a very short time.

To develop a wide range of techniques and sharp accuracy, however, requires more practice and personal instruction. There are many people who have helped Jonn along the way including Robert Dante, Rooster, Joe Wheeler, Roger Stevens, and of course several kind and generous bottoms. To help others learn to use whips, he has been giving personal instruction and conducting whip workshops for about 5 years at the Wet Spot in Seattle, as well as at the Wet Spot in Paradise Summer Programs at the Redmond Ranch.

In this workshop, Jonn will be using a 3’ black and red signal whip for warm-ups, light strikes, and breast play, a matched pair of Joe Wheeler 5’ signal whips for double-handed Florentine and cross-cracking work, and a red and black 4’ (7’ overall) bullwhip for wraps and harder strikes. Jonn is passionate about the "Art of Whipping" and enjoy teaching responsible, safe whip handling techniques so that others can experience the rich complexity of dancing on the edge with a whip.
