Class Descriptions
Kink 102: A Deeper Dive
Erin Tillman & ollie · Lecture
Read class description
BDSM 102 will address the joys and challenges of embracing your inner kinkster. Beyond the basics, how does one navigate the BDSM world? How can we manifest the kinky life that we want? What defines safety in a community that flirts with danger? This class will jumpstart (for the newbies) or reinvigorate (for the veterans) your personal journey of self-discovery through kink, delving into the art of Domming, safety in submission, and a deeper dive into kinky niches and negotiation.
Primal Play
Sir Nia · Workshop
Read class description
What does it mean to be primal in kink? It’s more than growls and chases. Primal play is about instinct, presence, and power. This class will explore what it means to tap into your raw, animalistic side as a Top, bottom, switch, or something in-between. Whether you’re curious, seasoned, or just sniffing the air, come discover how to safely, consensually, and authentically unleash your inner predator or prey. This is the perfect class for anyone looking to learn more about primal play, and for veteran primal players to expand their play style, workshop new ideas, and connect with other primal folks.
Giddy Up!
Miss Ann · Hands-On
Read class description
An introduction to pony play — creating ponies and trainers, learning movement and gates, and playing some fun games. No expensive equipment required. Rubber bits, yarn tails, and a willingness to play are all you need to get started. This interactive session covers the fundamentals of pony play and gives participants a real taste of what the dynamic looks and feels like in practice.
Wired for Sex 201
Miss Melody · Lecture
Read class description
You’ve seen the violet wand. Maybe you’ve felt it. Now let’s talk about what you can actually do with it. This intermediate class skips the basics and gets into the good stuff: advanced technique, the full electro toolkit, and how to use current with intention. We’ll cover the complete landscape of electro tools most people don’t know exist: EMS, powerbox units, insertable electrodes, and conductive accessories. Then we’ll get into how to actually build with them, including scene integration, psychological immersion, and using electricity as a precision instrument rather than a party trick.
Wrestling, Muscle Worship & Dominance
Doc Domina · Lecture
Read class description
A physical, dominance-focused session exploring wrestling, muscle worship, and the connection between mind and body in play, led by a ProDomme and professional bodybuilder who integrates kink awareness with psychoeducation.
Strap-On & Anal Training
Goddess Emmeline & Dante Du Freak · Lecture
Read class description
Come learn how to safely explore pegging, strap-on play, and anal training. Covering the basics of how to peg, safety, anatomy, intro anal training, communication skills, toy selection, how to size up, and how to care for your equipment and body. Both the top and bottom perspectives will be covered on all topics. The first half will be lecture followed by an educational live demonstration.
Sensual Shibari for Deeper Connection
Mocha Dude · Hands-On Workshop
Read class description
This workshop invites couples to slow down and pay attention to each other in a way that everyday life rarely makes room for. Using rope as a simple structure, you’ll explore the connective side of Shibari, the Japanese art of rope tying. The focus isn’t on intricate patterns. It’s on the quiet exchange that happens when one partner guides and the other settles into stillness.
Seamless Control (Sounding)
Goddess Styx · Lecture
Read class description
Curious about the deeper sides of play? Thinking about trying out sounding? Whether you’re just starting to explore or looking to sharpen your skills, this class is a great spot to learn and have fun. Goddess Styx will take you through the ins and outs of sounding, a unique play form that’s all about exploring new sensations and pushing boundaries in a safe and exciting way.
Whip Throwing: An Introduction
Sir Brian · Hands-On Workshop
Read class description
I believe that practice is the only way to learn to throw whips successfully. And how you do that practice is important. I want to pass along the training techniques that I was given over the years by other whip throwers, as well as model how to scene with them. This workshop talks about construction, types, and care of whips, as well as basic techniques to practice and throw whips. Several styles of throwing whips will be demonstrated along with one on one time to help attendees find a style that suits them and help others to improve their technique.
Navigating Emotional Labor in FemDom
Doc Domina · Lecture
Read class description
A thoughtful look at emotional labor in FemDom dynamics, integrating kink awareness with psychology and radical acceptance.
Kink & Sensuality
Scarlette · Lecture
Read class description
Sensuality is a ghost that haunts every scene; tender, ancient, and aching to be found. It drifts through trembling breath; held in a delectable moment where tension and intensity collide. Sensuality is a skill, a feeling many crave but so few stop to learn and understand. It is overlooked, oversimplified, and forgotten in the kink craft. Sensuality cannot be seized. It is meticulously and intentionally invited; and when it is woven into a scene, something shifts. The moment becomes a memory etched into the skin. Learn to summon sensuality, as you create experiences that linger like a beautiful, half-remembered dream.
Dominance or Dangerous?
Jenni / SubLFG · Lecture
Read class description
Are they dominant or dangerous? This class dives into consent, communication, and accountability, helping participants recognize the difference between intentional, negotiated dominance and behaviors that cross into manipulation or abuse.
Power Exchange Panel
Catherine & co · Panel & Community Discussion
Read class description
Two couples. One FemDom partnership. One MaleDom partnership. Both in 24/7 consensual power exchange. Moderated questions guide the first half through negotiation, trust-building, roles, and the realities of D/s both inside and outside the bedroom. The second half opens the floor to the audience. Whether you’re curious, new to the lifestyle, or a seasoned practitioner, this is a rare chance to hear lived experience from people who navigate power exchange every day.
