Top Practice Lab

A monthly hands-on meetup, great for making new friends and practicing all kinds of play. Whether you're a Top or a Bottom, brand new or a seasoned pro, everyone's welcome.

Event Overview

Top Practice Lab exists to provide a space
that’s welcoming to Tops and Bottoms of every level,
where Tops can practice — with everyone knowing upfront that they’re still learning.

No Top starts out already skilled enough to satisfy a partner completely.
We also know that when a Top’s technique isn’t polished yet,
it can sometimes turn into an awkward mood-killer during play.

But at Top Practice Lab,
everyone involved — Top and Bottom alike — knows it’s practice.
You can call a pause and debrief at any time,
and repeat something as many times as you like without worrying about ruining the flow of “real” play.

Every session invites a community member with plenty of play experience to act as a coach.

  • Share a specific technique, theme, or skill.
  • Demonstrate, from either the Top’s or the Bottom’s perspective, how to communicate during play and give feedback afterward.
  • Prepare a few small exercises for everyone to try during free-practice time.

Event Flow

  • Space introduction & interaction guidelines
  • Topic sharing & demonstration
  • Self-introductions & wish-based pairing time
  • Free practice & mutual skill-building

Who This Is For

  • People new to the BDSM community who want to meet others at a similar experience level
  • People who want to try a specific technique but worry their skills aren’t good enough yet (whether Top or Bottom)
  • People interested in a specific topic or technique demo
  • People looking for a safe, public space to practice with a partner

    "Went to Slime Nest's Top Practice Lab yesterday — Cara's session was genuinely solid, and I loved the vibe everyone brought. As someone who's a chatty Bottom, I think the point of giving feedback isn't just gushing about how great your Top was — it's also about catching anything risky in the moment so it can be adjusted right away. That's what being a responsible Bottom looks like to me."

    "The second I saw the topic I cleared my schedule and signed up on the spot! A whole room full of switches together — how could that not be a blast 😆 Watched Amber and Lingyang demo at the start absolutely captivating, like watching a performance Thanks to Lingyang for pairing me with my first practice partner really grateful that they always check in with me personally and help find a match having them at Slime Nest makes me feel so safe 😌 going to an event alone always makes me a little introverted at first just need a bit of time to warm up~ Free-interaction time, as always, started with me just watching everyone then some people started sparring and others were teaching looked fun so I joined in too fought Lingyang first, then M lost every round, unsurprisingly 🤣 exhausting but so much fun, want to do it again 😆 Then tried out someone's super cool electro-play kit turns your whole body into a giant conductor anywhere you're touched, you feel the current anything conductive you're holding carries it too even the rope conducts getting tied up meant a constant tingling current 🤩 After that, watched some more sparring, then chatted talked about what actually makes being a Top enjoyable everyone shared a little bit, then went back to watching more sparring plus a little mini spanking tutorial Kept happily observing after that then suddenly got invited to play "I'm delicate, I'm so delicate" (owww, that hurts "But you like it 😊 keep going, smack smack 😏" "I have a wound on my right side" "Then let's focus on the left" (cue a string of screams "Thanks, your technique is really good" so happy to get that validation 🥰 Kept watching people interact toward the end "Did you have fun today?" got startled being called out by name so suddenly didn't have time to think, so I just threw the question right back at them 🤣 chatted a bit, thought they seemed pretty cool so I asked if we could play first time being a Bottom at an event in a while kept my eyes shut almost the entire time out of embarrassment opened them once in the middle to sneak a look and, of course, locked eyes with them at exactly that moment "why are you looking at me" "I'm not" (immediately looked away loved the whole thing first time being turned and flipped around during a scene must have changed positions at least 5 different ways ended up straddling them at the end, so embarrassing such a unique experience both the sensations and the atmosphere let me get really absorbed in it even though I'd occasionally catch myself feeling a bit out of the moment during the event I'd get pulled right back in almost immediately Kind of a shame we didn't get to practice switching roles mid-scene this time but I got a lot of different experiences out of it anyway loved this event so much ended up interacting with 8 people, which surprised even me maybe next time I can try to round it out to a full set (?"

    "Huge thanks to Xiaoteng for the session sharing >< I'd heard about using everyday objects for play before and thought it was such a creative idea, really wanted to try it~ Also loved how everyone moved around to the music and, whenever it paused, chatted or played with whoever was nearby — I love how organic that felt. Lingyang handed out little stamp cards for us to get our practice partners to sign, and honestly, that trick totally worked on me XD Top skill ++(1"

    "Unlocked trampling at Slime Nest! hit body parts I'd never hit before (back, hands) also got to try a vacuum bed I'd never seen before watched Xiaoteng smoothly demo body-control techniques so practical! but feels like it'll take a lot more practice before my body actually remembers it this Top Practice Lab genuinely felt like an experience-points++ kind of day thanks to everyone who played with me! and it didn't rain going out or coming home today thanks Taipei too!"

    "Brought R along to try Top Practice Lab together my own first time attempting to Top too adjusted their body positioning also tried some very, very light trampling turns out watching them actually relax under my adjustments was genuinely a joyful feeling for me in that moment but being a Top really means keeping your rational brain switched on the whole time constantly thinking about what to do next, and how to do it better whether you're Topping or Bottoming mutual trust is the foundation either way"

    "Slime Nest · Top Practice Lab (Tickling) · Wusi's Tickling Philosophy First off, thanks to the organizers for putting so much care into this event! Today was genuinely eye-opening — Teacher Wusi's explanation was so thoughtful, learned a ton! Also, thanks to everyone who practiced with me! Really appreciate you coming over to ask me yourself~ hope I gave you a good tickling experience!"

    "Same as always! I showed up early again! New venues always make me nervous, so I always get there early and wait it out at a nearby convenience store or drugstore. Once I got into the venue this time, I spotted a few veterans I'd met before, went over to say a quick hi, and was so happy they still remembered me a little bit 3 The event opened with a simple little icebreaker game to get everyone comfortable with each other, then came self-introductions — I introduced myself as a Top, and got to see all kinds of different specialties people had. Next was a second little random-pairing game, where whoever you got matched with, you could choose to either play or just chat — I got lucky and got to do a little bit of both with the person I was paired with. After that was free interaction and practice time. I spent time watching the veterans' technique demos, and also saw people with about as little experience as me, plus total first-timers, giving it a try — picked up a lot of small bits of knowledge and insight from watching (experience points +5. Even though I didn't personally get to practice much hands-on today, watching from the side was one of my goals too, because I think observation matters a lot! Thanks to everyone — both the newcomers and the veterans — who interacted and chatted with me today! Also went around exchanging Twitter with people afterward! Hope to run into you all again someday 😍"

    "As someone who loves hands-on practice, Practice Lab is genuinely one of my favorite events — though it's also made me realize that at events I can really only be a Top. In less familiar situations, being the Top puts me a lot more at ease; being the Bottom really isn't easy for me! I loved watching Lingyang and Amber take turns demoing as Top at the start — the flow of desire between them was mesmerizing. Getting to learn something new every time, or meet a new friend, is genuinely something to be happy about. Thanks to Man for being the first person I found to play with. Turned out afterward that I'm apparently pretty hard to get a reaction out of — not really that ticklish myself, hope that didn't discourage your enthusiasm for learning tickling T^T My tickling style really depends a lot on the person, honestly — even when someone thinks it's amazing, the next Bottom might turn around and say I still need more practice. But I still think I'm decent at it (I hope if you didn't get the reaction I was going for from you... maybe next time, fate willing"

    "Curious about a specialty session, and one on tickling too — a popular topic in the scene — so I signed up for Slime Nest's Top Practice event a second time. After listening to Wusi's explanation, I think the issue for me might be this: "I know exactly what reaction I want out of a partner, but I've never really met someone I wanted to seriously tickle — and even when I have, my technique has been so one-note that it probably couldn't draw out the reaction I was actually craving from them." Compared to spanking, tickling is a closer, more intimate kind of physical contact — for me, it requires a much higher baseline of affection first, and the casual, egged-on-by-the-crowd tickling I've done in the past — honestly, I never really understood the point of it. No wonder I never got what people find fun about it. ╮(╯_╰)╭ By the end of the talk, Wusi encouraged everyone to use the framework as a base and find their own personal style of tickling. Right after, I tied a new friend to an X-frame and enjoyed a mix of spanking, tickling, a whip, and candy — I think that's exactly my style — I don't want to purely torment someone, but I don't want to just satisfy them either. I want you both in pain and in pleasure at once, unsure whether you should beg me to stop — caught in that dilemma, wanting to think rationally but with your thoughts scrambled — the struggling movements, the hesitant expression, the body reactions you can't quite suppress — that's what does it for me. 😈 ✨ Thanks to Lingyang for hearing my wish and finally unlocking the X-frame, hehe (* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ Finally got to personally experience Wusi's tickling technique too, and "unbelievable" is the only word for it. When it comes to erotic tickling specifically, I'm pretty sensitive, but outside of that I'm not really that ticklish — yet she only tickled the "safe" zone around my waist and stomach, and that alone was enough to make my whole body shake and force out these helpless little whimpers. That precise pressure, sharp but perfectly calibrated, left my whole body burning — if she'd actually kept it up for a full hour, I think I would've completely melted. Someone who's honed a skill to that level is seriously impressive. _(:3」∠ )_"

    "Wanted to come to Slime Nest's Top Practice Lab for months finally had time to make it to the session in May after listening to Wusi's tickling talk today, my personal little goal now is to find a technique that gets every single Top ticklish too (? not sure why, but halfway through practicing tickling on each other I just bit them (? anyway, I'm officially now a woman who's bitten a jerk"

    "First time at Top Practice Lab, and it was genuinely so rewarding during the demo, Xiaoteng's effortless, flowing technique for building a sense of dominance and controlling the body was a real eye-opener this time I didn't just practice spanking, I also unlocked my first trampling session thanks to everyone who played and connected with me~ and I even got a little gift from Xiaoteng and Lingyang, really grateful 🙏"

    "The scariest part of going to events is always that very first moment of reaching out or interacting with someone — first you might have no idea what state the other person is even in, and then you don't know what words or approach to use for that first contact. That's always one of the hardest challenges for an introvert like me. This event, though, had a format that genuinely impressed me — it solved a good chunk of that difficulty for participants, and created more opportunities afterward for chatting, playing, or practicing. I won't spoil exactly what it was here though. Originally I signed up hoping to practice Top skills, but in practice, I ended up interacting with people entirely as a Bottom the whole time. Which actually fit my original plan just fine — I was just learning Top skills from the Bottom's seat. I wanted to see how other people approached the Top role, and at the same time I was also picking up all kinds of details about how to interact with someone. For example, everyone I played with gave me this sense of being really considerate and respectful — they kept checking in on how I was feeling throughout, and asked for my consent before escalating any physical contact. To me, some of those touch points were places that were going to get touched during play anyway, no big deal (to me) — so having them specifically ask about it beforehand really stuck with me. The back-and-forth discussion during play, checking in about each move, each technique, each sensation — that was another part I thought was great. So glad to have met you all, and so happy to have gotten to interact with you."

    "Wanted to know how the same kind of event differs between venues, and I'd also heard there might be a chance to see some special play styles, so I signed up. At the previous venue I learned breath control and body-impact striking; here it was more about using imagination to repurpose everyday objects (from what I remember — feel free to correct me), but no matter the venue, two things stayed constant: 1. There's no fixed curriculum — it depends entirely on what everyone wants to learn (so please actually fill out the form seriously). 2. There's always a segment designed to get Tops and Bottoms interacting — a friendly mechanism for Tops who don't know how to break the ice or start a conversation. Whether you manage to find someone to actually play with during the later free-practice time, though, is entirely up to whether you seize the opportunity! One thing I got out of this session was learning different spanking positions — for someone like me who'd gotten stuck in the habit of a top-down posture, it was a genuinely fresh experience: you don't have to stand tall and act dominant to actually hold the lead. Another thing I got to witness was something along the lines of watersports play (let me swap out a letter and censor it a bit here so I don't get the official account banned) — the first time I ever saw it was in a fan comic, and it hit me hard! (BTW, that comic was Akagi x Kaiji, and Kaiji really is perfect for suffering — his expressions were so devastating, watching him left me with such mixed feelings 😳😨) The real-life version wasn't nearly as shocking, partly because both people involved were clearly experienced, but it still drew a small crowd to watch. Not sure what everyone else was feeling in that moment — surprise? shock? or... putting themselves in the scene? Of course, not everyone's body is suited for it, and even those who are might not want to try — but as a spectator, I was glad for the chance to have my mind opened a little further: "one more weird piece of knowledge/position unlocked." ╮(* ̄▽ ̄*)╭"

    "6th time at an event — brought a friend who'd never been to one before watched Xiaoteng and Lingyang's toy demo at the opening during free time later, got to watch some dommes playing with balls and anal play tried out different kinds of spanking paddles with my friend on the side loved how I looked being restrained in the dog cage and getting my head patted got told I was so cute (woof woof!) looking forward to visiting new friends' venues in the same area soon"

    "First time checking in at Slime Nest! Thanks to Rabbit for the invite Pretty big turnout, was a little nervous at first first time at a somewhat more academic-style event seeing so many switches around kind of moved me, everyone growing stronger together the teacher's demo and role-switching had me absolutely delighted watching gorgeous people actually play was just wonderful after the demo, everyone split into pairs a little nervous, I got taken in by Rabbit (I love you) three minutes of solo attack time each, Rabbit went first right at the start my hair just got yanked straight back then got pinned to the ground and tickled, couldn't move no matter how much I struggled also didn't help that my outfit wasn't great for moving around hoping I get the chance to buck Rabbit off me next time then it was my turn to attack, and honestly I was so nervous since I've known Rabbit a while and they've got a lot of presence never once imagined having them as a Bottom under my hands turns out I didn't do that great either, but hey, that's what practice is for came in specifically wanting to practice tickling personally I'm almost always on the receiving end since I'm really ticklish but when I'm the one tickling and the other person doesn't squirm like I do, it really gets to me after thinking it over, realized it's just that my technique isn't good and also that not everyone is as ticklish as I am so I tried my best with my super short nails and fingertips (keep them trimmed short for playing guitar) tried to make Rabbit laugh, kind of failed though afterward Rabbit gave me so much feedback, felt like I leveled up! during free practice time got an invite from D told them I wanted to learn tickling too, asked if they could teach me a few tricks so we found a comfy corner to play in doesn't happen often, one-on-one tickling like that, felt really special slow pace, really relaxing, didn't make me want to resist at all brat energy dropped to 0%, just lying there relaxed on the floor loved lying on my side that day the direction I'm normally used to just happened to be the direction D adjusted me into felt less like tickling and more like being composed, like art one person leading, one person following, writing a piece of music together got feedback afterward too said this was a different kind of tickling from usual — usually it's more like a fighting ring (not bad, I like that kind too) is this one more like a date, and the other more like an interrogation? felt totally different, but both are tickling I love D asked me what part I liked best honestly, still the hugging — the two of us squished together, flattened against each other being able to feel their breath and heartbeat, so calm anyway, really thankful to D, not sure if I actually learned anything but I had a great time after tickling went to spar with A wearing an outfit that's bad for fighting in is truly the worst got read immediately as someone who only defends, never attacks held out longer than usual but still lost in the end but did pick up a couple of strong moves from the teacher, leveled up on my own almost ripped A's shirt too, scared myself half to death next time I challenge them again, I'm winning! anyway, had such a fulfilling time at this event a gorgeous woman even told me I looked good, I almost dropped to my knees to be her puppy on the spot thanks to everyone who cheered me on during the sparring I promise I'll win next time, won't let your cheering go to waste M's new haircut was so hot I nearly fainted from how good he looked thanks to Rabbit for dragging me around everywhere, I love you"
