If you don't have a partner, you can still practice on yourself. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Stella Harris teaches Empowering Enthusiastic Consent from 7-9pm PDT. FetlifeFacebook Meetup Think you know everything there is to know about consent? Think again. It's a lot more than a simple yes, and certainly more than the absence of a no. Even if you have experience negotiating and stating your needs and boundaries a lot of subtleties can go unexplored.
Some of our earliest memories include enduring unwanted touch; from hugs and pats on the head to pinches on the cheek and kisses from relatives, we're trained to accept touch to be polite. That's a lot of baggage to unpack.
When our partners are completely comfortable knowing that we won't cross lines, when we find our inner yes, that's when the really hot stuff can begin. Because consent isn't just about asking for permission from others, it's also about being in consent with yourself. This class will help you figure out what you want and how to ask for it. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Tuesday May 5th
Anton Fulmen teaches Talking Dirty from 6-8pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook MeetupOne of the most powerful and most often underestimated kink tools is right at the tip of your tongue.

Learn how dirty talk can be used to deepen connection and create a shared narrative with your partner through hot and shameless communication before, during and after playtime.
This class will include advice for the shy and the tongue-tied, and for those who just want to polish their patter. We'll also cover some fundamental rules for building connection, as well as a plethora of specific ideas for verbal cleverness. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

The property lives for its Master, because its Master allows it to live for him. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Friday May 8th
3-5pm PDT Klawdya teaches Yoga for Bondage and Sex. Fetlife FacebookMeetup Yoga is a natural practice for both bondage and sex because it's all about opening the body up, learning balance, and getting in touch with ourselves. Flexibility, stamina, mental clarity, increased strength, balance, and stress release are all benefits of cultivating a yoga practice and can help set the stage for intimacy and deeper play. By directing our mental and physical energy through different parts of our body we can help unlock sticky areas keeping us from enjoying our physical play, and we may uncover emotional blocks that have been manifesting physically as well. In this class we will do several sequences, some geared towards warm-up and aftercare, and some for specific goals such as balance, spine flexibility, and hip opening. All poses are optional, and alternatives for comfort, physical barriers, and all experience levels are offered as well-- no stress, just flow where you are today. This is a safe space to get in touch with our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual selves through guided poses designed to open us to our personal intentions-- come comfortable, in clothing ready to move, bring a mat, a towel or small blanket, and a water bottle. This class is presented from a humanistic standpoint and is not geared towards any religious or spiritual practice, and is welcoming to persons of all faiths and beliefs. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Saturday May 9th
James Gordon and Rebecca Doll teach Online Sex and Roleplay from 3-5pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Since the earliest days of the internet there has been sex in the virtual world. Often "online relationships" are deprecated, but the fact is many people met their long-term partners through online activities. Online relationships can eliminate the pain of separation, span continents, and sidestep issues of ability, health, and access. With much of the world practicing social distancing, online relationships are a critical anchor for interpersonal intimacy.
There are few guides to how to play online. People either know or they don't which means they largely do what they happen to have seen. Our goal is to present a broad range of online options and activities, ranging from various types of online roleplay, to sexual chat, to trading pictures, virtual/real-life play and sex toys.
We'll take a comprehensive look at the major realms for online exploration, and give suggestions on activities to expand your online play. We'll also consider some of the culture around online play as well as safety issues regarding real life images and identity. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

Join Danarama from 7-8:30pm PDT for Middling: Playing with a Top, an Intermediary, and a Bottom. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Incorporating a third into your BDSM can add an exciting element of novelty to a scene, especially by delegating a Middle (an intermediary or proxy-Top) to execute your commands, techniques, and punishments. This is different and more dynamic than simply co-Topping. Demanding the best skills of trust, management, and communication, working with (or as) a Middle is great for training, role play, a natural transition for switches, and an awesome mindfuck. It's also a great way for Doms to bring a new Top into a BDSM relationship while maintaining supervision and without sacrificing the Dominant role. It's also an awesome prelude or addition to threesome sex. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Friday April 24th
Thista teaches Solo Needle Play from 7-9pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Are you craving needle play, but isolated from your play partners? Don't let the pandemic stop you from satisfying your desires - go stick yourself!

Come learn how to adjust your needle play for the unique challenges of playing alone. Whether you're seeking a sensation high or a work of art, you can make that happen during lockdown! Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

Sunday April 26th
Risk Awareness for Bondage with Shay is from 3-5pm PDT. Fetlife FacebookMeetup Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK) is outpacing Safe, Sane, and Consensual (SSC) as a model for What It Is That We Do (WIITWD) and soon acronyms may take over BDSM completely! While there's a lot of lip service paid to the concept, are we really practicing RACK? We spend a lot of time talking about the consent part (rightfully), and kink is pretty much a given. However, risk awareness is often assumed.
Shay will build this session around self-assessment questions about many aspects of bondage safety and risk mitigation, and use these as an outline to discuss risk awareness, from specific health considerations to vetting your partner. They will also discuss the science on human risk evaluation (spoiler alert: we suck at it, but can learn to be better), and the distinction between hazards, risks, and things that are scary. Rather than promoting one true way, they will encourage you to develop your individual risk tolerance profile and budget your risk. Folks interested in all aspects of rope (tying, being tied, self-tying, etc) are welcome to attend. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
The Best in Show Series will be presenting Standards for Domestics from 4-6pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook This class takes actual rules, regulations and practices from AKC Championship dog shows and applies them to domestic animals.

Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
We will be hosting an Isolation Scavenger Hunt from 9-10:30pm PDT. FetlifeFacebook Meetup Stuck indoors? Quarantine getting you down? Bored stiff? Let's have some fun in your own home!

We're not certain how long this game will take, but we're expecting somewhere between 60 and 90 min… Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Monday April 27th
Mir will be teaching Negotiation Basics from 3-5pm PDT. Fetlife FacebookNegotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn't necessarily come naturally -- especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene.
Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in the BDSM scene and relationships. We'll talk about:
Negotiation styles
Pre-scene negotiations
How to negotiate without killing the mood
Checking in during and after the scene
Negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics
Drawing on tools from non-violent communication, neuro-linguistic programming, and even a bit of marketing and PR, we'll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic.
This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Tuesday April 28th

Lee Harrington teaches Dark Roleplaying from 6-8pm PDT. Fetlife FacebookMeetup We have been playing pretend since we were young but the realm of kinky sexuality opens up all new directions roleplaying can take. Join us as we explore the shadowy realms of our fantasies and roles we can try on: abduction, abuse, torture, snuff, fantastical realms and anywhere else our twisted minds can dream up. We will discuss the joys of playing in our closet, why these dark desires turn us on, how to bring up these taboo interests with our partners, negotiating our desires, and troubleshooting the challenges these types of fantasies can elicit. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Thursday April 30th
James Gordon and Rebecca Doll teach Death Fetish: The Ultimate Taboo from 6-8pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook The seething sexuality of slasher films and Suicide Girls illustrate that concepts of death and sex are inseparable in our minds. But Death is the ultimate "no fly" zone of fetishes, too scary and immediate for many to be comfortable with. We all know that fantasizing doesn't mean wanting, but when it comes to death too many TV shows have convinced us that we shouldn't dig too deep, leaving players willing to transgress the taboo without a playbook or the safety tips that routinely cover other areas of fetish. We'll investigate the roots of our sexualized obsession with death, and look into ways that deathplay can be incorporated into our scenes with a strong eye towards safety, physical and emotional. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Friday May 1st
BossBoar teaches Dark Interrogation from 3-6pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook MeetupWhat's your most taboo fantasy? Not the type of question you usually hear in an interrogation. In this style of interrogation, the answers are the bottom's deepest secrets. The obstacles are the bottom's embarrassment and self-preservation. The tools are pain and fear. Delving into a bottom’s psyche like this can have a multitude of purposes. It can be to tap into their shame and humiliate them, re-enforce a long-lasting power dynamic, or explore things the bottom has even hidden from themselves. Boss Boar will discuss his approach to this intense style of play by covering topics such as:
Why do a scene like this
How to negotiate a dark interrogation
How to build the atmosphere
Torture methods
Students will walk away from this lecture with a working knowledge of all the components necessary to do their own dark interrogation.
There will be an ongoing demo throughout this class.
Trigger warning: This class may mention subjects such as abuse and rape.

He will show you the powerful effects of the practice to help your partner become multi-orgasmic, orgasm without any genital touch, orgasm for longer and deeper, and break down all the old conditioning they have about how they cum.

Auntie Vice teaches This Isn't What I Planned! Adapting Kinks to Accommodate Aging and Illness from 3-5pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup We all age. Many of us also experience the development of chronic illnesses or disabilities. We can plan for some of the physical changes which come with natural aging or illness, but many of us are unprepared for the ways our body changes and the way those changes impact our kinky play. This Isn't What I Planned! Is a class for anyone experiencing body changes which are now (or may soon) impact their kinky ways. The course will cover how to understand your changing body, resources to help you figure out what changes are in store for you, ways to communicate with your partners about your new or emerging physical needs, and tools for adapting various types of BDSM activities to meet your new bodily limitations and continuing desires to engage in kinky play.

Monday April 20th
Join ColdStorage and Reika for a Q&A on Electrical Play from 8-9:30pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Scenes that incorporate electricity can be intense, versatile, surprising, and (of course) fun... but also confusing and a little scary to newcomers. A lot of questions come up:
Isn't electricity dangerous?
I don't like pain. Won't it just hurt?
Do all the weird toys and devices wind up doing the same thing?
Can it be added to other types of play I like?
Why would anybody do that?
If you've had questions like these then this is the event for you! Reika (Ms. SF Leather 2019) and ColdStorage (Society of Janus) will take your questions and help demystify what's involved, what it's like, where the safety concerns are, and how to get started if you think it might be something you'd like to try. They come to the table with several years of combined experience using electricity and can provide insights for both sides of the slash. Nothing complex or overly technical; just simple, practical info to keep things light and engaging.
The main focus will be on e-stim and the various types of wands out there, as these tend to be the more popular topics with the most questions (they're also the easier entry points for those kinksters who are looking to explore). A variety of toys will be available during the Q & A so you can see what they are and ask specific questions.
This course will be in the Zoom webinar format. Questions will be through the Q&A and chat functions. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Tuesday April 21st
Our monthly Poly Discussion Group is now online from 7-9pm PDT. FetlifeFacebook Meetup Intermediate Poly Workshop is a series of monthly workshops where we'll tackle more advanced poly topics as a group. The idea of a topic being more advanced in poly simply stems from the fact that these topics usually arise after someone's been doing poly for a while. These groups are open to absolutely anyone of any level who wants to attend. We just won't be devoting time to covering the usual early poly subjects like jealousy or opening up an existing relationship. The only requirement for attending is your curiosity and openness to discussion. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Wednesday April 22nd
James Gordon and Rebecca Doll present Dark Hypnosis - Mindfucks, Trauma and Edgeplay from 2:30-4:30pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Visions of erotic violence or sinister control dominate our movies and fantasies. From chainsaw disembowelment to death to formative sexual trauma, many of our most delicious fantasies are unsafe or inaccessible. While we may visit these things under the aegis of "pathworking" or "ritual," one of the most direct and controllable forms of visualization is too often off the table. Learn the use of hypnosis to go with malice aforethought into those dark recesses only touched before, and take edgeplay further than the physical. Note that this is a workshop about brutal edgeplay, not about healing psychic trauma. Learn techniques for transferring pain, creating artificial sensation, and controlling orgasm. While we will discuss how to create informed consent for this type of mental play, this is not an ethics workshop and it may involve references or demonstrations centering on psychic trauma which may be disturbing. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.
Johnny Truant teaches An Intro to Warding, Banishing and Magickal Boundaries from 7-9pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Boundaries are essential, in magick and in life.

Most of all though, we will examine the relationship between boundary setting in “mundane” life and the ability to set boundaries spiritually. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

Join Danarama from 7-8:30pm PDT for Middling: Playing with a Top, an Intermediary, and a Bottom. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Incorporating a third into your BDSM can add an exciting element of novelty to a scene, especially by delegating a Middle (an intermediary or proxy-Top) to execute your commands, techniques, and punishments. This is different and more dynamic than simply co-Topping. Demanding the best skills of trust, management, and communication, working with (or as) a Middle is great for training, role play, a natural transition for switches, and an awesome mindfuck. It's also a great way for Doms to bring a new Top into a BDSM relationship while maintaining supervision and without sacrificing the Dominant role. It's also an awesome prelude or addition to threesome sex. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

Risk Awareness for Bondage with Shay is from 3-5pm PDT. Fetlife FacebookMeetup Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK) is outpacing Safe, Sane, and Consensual (SSC) as a model for What It Is That We Do (WIITWD) and soon acronyms may take over BDSM completely! While there's a lot of lip service paid to the concept, are we really practicing RACK? We spend a lot of time talking about the consent part (rightfully), and kink is pretty much a given. However, risk awareness is often assumed.
Shay will build this session around self-assessment questions about many aspects of bondage safety and risk mitigation, and use these as an outline to discuss risk awareness, from specific health considerations to vetting your partner. They will also discuss the science on human risk evaluation (spoiler alert: we suck at it, but can learn to be better), and the distinction between hazards, risks, and things that are scary. Rather than promoting one true way, they will encourage you to develop your individual risk tolerance profile and budget your risk. Folks interested in all aspects of rope (tying, being tied, self-tying, etc) are welcome to attend. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

Stella Harris will be teaching Empowering Enthusiastic Consent Online from 7-9pm PDT. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Think you know everything there is to know about consent? Think again. It's a lot more than a simple yes, and certainly more than the absence of a no. Even if you have experience negotiating and stating your needs and boundaries a lot of subtleties can go unexplored. Some of our earliest memories include enduring unwanted touch; from hugs and pats on the head to pinches on the cheek and kisses from relatives, we're trained to accept touch to be polite. That's a lot of baggage to unpack. When our partners are completely comfortable knowing that we won't cross lines, when we find our inner yes, that's when the really hot stuff can begin. Because consent isn't just about asking for permission from others, it's also about being in consent with yourself. This class will help you figure out what you want and how to ask for it. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

Garroting- the use of a scarf to softly enfold your partner in dreamy head space
Hand on throat- learn the more dominant, aggressively sexual use of your hands to control your partners body and mind
Belt- use choking as part of a leash and quick choke outs during sex
Smothering- covering the mouth and nose can be terrifying but ultimately exciting and powerful. You will learn some hot and safer ways to practice this style.
Drowning- almost nothing is more intense than drowning! The Voice will demonstrate ways for you and your partner to bring this dark edge play into your life.
The Voice will live demonstrate where to press on the neck, how hard, and for how long. You'll be shown what body signals to look for in your partner to learn their body and when to stop.
This class will cover safety, science and give you the information you need to make informed, smart choices about when, how, and if you should bring breath play into your sex life. Advanced ticketing required through Brown Paper Tickets.

The Intermediate Poly Workshop is from 7-9pm. Fetlife [Facebook][] [Meetup][] This is a series of monthly workshops where we'll tackle more advanced poly topics as a group. The idea of a topic being more advanced in poly simply stems from the fact that these topics usually arise after someone's been doing poly for a while. These groups are open to absolutely anyone of any level who wants to attend. We just won't be devoting time to covering the usual early poly subjects like jealousy or opening up an existing relationship. The only requirement for attending is your curiosity and openness to discussion. This month’s topic is spirituality. Does the woo occupy a large portion of your internal experience? Have mystical experiences of any shape or size ever informed parts of your relationships? Spirituality in its most general form is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, yet it's one that we often remove from how we speak about relationships. We assign spiritual thought in relationships to superficial and judgemental majority religions, instead of examining the broader landscape of how people view a profound interaction. What does depth in a relationship mean to you? Do you consider yourself spiritual, secular, magickal, religious, or something else entirely? Let's talk about how the varied philosophies of human experience contribute to and drive our poly. Please purchase tickets in advance through [Brown Paper Tickets][] or full price at the door.

Fetlife Facebook There are four basic kinds of lives: a customary life (doing what I “should” do), a life of creativity (artist, builder, engineer), a life of hedonism (marine biology for an ocean-lover), and a life of ministration and benefaction.

That desire suggests an inclination for a big life. This class examines how living a big life with authenticity leads to achieving our personal greatness.
