BDSM Basics through Advanced

Entry Level Topics:

BDSM 101: Kink Basics

BDSM often starts in the world of fantasy… but how do you make it into a reality? This workshop will explore the basics of healthy, happy, consensual BDSM. We’ll talk about ways to create hot and safe kinky experiences, go over basic communication skills and explore ways to build a sexy scene. Then comes the fun part: learning about the psychological and the physical sensations you can play with! We’ll touch on sensory deprivation, restriction (i.e. bondage), scratching, clamping, temperature play and impact play, and brief demonstrations will be given of a number of techniques. Kink can become a huge part of your life or an occasional escapade… come and learn how to take the first step!

​

BDSM 102: Listen Up- Listening Skills for D/s Dynamics and Effective Negotiation

Have you ever wished you could see straight into your submissive’s soul, and know what makes them tick? Have you ever desired to know exactly how best to please your dominant? Strong communication is the key to harmony in any relationship. That’s no less true for those of us who are drawn to the complexities and delights of power-based relationships, whether ongoing or occasional. And yet, despite the intensity and focus they can involve, sometimes our D/s or M/s dynamics can themselves add a layer of difficulty to the already challenging dance of human interaction.

Here, you’ll learn about a classic listening process (active listening) and how to adapt it to the realities of D/s. From there we’ll dive into practice in small groups. This dynamic workshop is highly participatory, extremely practical, and surprisingly challenging! You’re guaranteed to come out with fresh insights and new skills to help deepen the intimacy and strengthen the bonds of your D/s—whether you’re currently in such a relationship or brushing up for a future one. (Existing D/s pairs or groups are warmly welcomed, but there is no need to attend with a partner.)

​

BDSM 103: Stepping Into the Scene: Navigating Kinky Sex Communities

Some BDSM workshops teach the basics of kinky play. But let’s say you know whether you’re a top or a bottom (or both!), you’ve figured out which end of the flogger is which, and you get why it’s best to use leather or cloth restraints instead of handcuffs. Now, you want to explore the wide, and sometimes bewildering, world of the public BDSM scene. Where do you start? What does the BDSM scene look like and how can you move through it with grace and confidence?

We’ll go over questions such as…

  • What BDSM events and activities are going on out there?

  • Where do you fit into the existing public scene… and what if you don’t?

  • What’s it like to attend a play party?

  • What are the rules of scene etiquette… and most especially, what are the unspoken ones?

  • How do you approach someone you’d like to play with?

  • What’s the wisest approach for exploring new play skills in a public setting?

  • What pitfalls should you watch out for as you find your way in a new community?

We’ll tailor the discussion to the topics that are most relevant to YOU… so come prepared with your questions! You’ll have the opportunity to ask them out loud, but also to write them down anonymously if you’re shy.

​

BDSM 105: Setting the Scene

We talk about how to vet, what negotiation means and how to ensure consent is first and foremost. We talk about RACK vs SSC and what the terms mean, as well as how they are misinterpreted and misrepresented. Introducing the CEO of kink and recognizing the role consent has in kink. We also define and explore the “Needs, Needs, Wants Wants” golden rule of play. We then touch on how to physically and mentally prepare for play, and ensuring everyone is able to get what they need from the endeavor.

​

BDSM 106: Aftercare- more than just first aid

We break our subs down into a quivering puddle of goo, but without putting them back together again, we risk breaking our toys. And nobody wants a broken toy! Here we discuss how to reassure your bottom that they are actually not all the nasty words you just called them. The importance of praise and how to know when Aftercare is complete, as well as those bottoms who need more than just cuddles. We discuss the bottom’s responsibility to communicate aftercare needs and who is actually responsible for providing aftercare.

​

BDSM 110: The Thinking Kinkster (Or, Knowledge Is Power)

Every year, new knowledge about BDSM and kink is produced and put out into the world. That knowledge comes from a wide range of sources—academia, pop culture and our communities themselves. But what exactly is being said, and how does it impact us as kinksters? This interactive workshop aims to engage people in thinking critically, from a practitioner perspective, about the information that’s being created about us and what it is that we do. It also aims to provide some examples of how to encourage your local communities to think about their kink—from BDSM-focused book clubs to film nights to DIY university-style classes and more. Come share your ideas!

Alphabet Soup of Sexuality and Non-Monogamy

These topics have been adapted from Miss K's written presentations for LA Dom Con, as presented by Thizbee Sez
 
ABCs of Happy Non-Monogamy

So you’d like to be romantically involved with more than one person at once? Or maybe you’d just like to sleep with someone other than your one-and-only? Whether you’re considering your first steps into non-monogamy or you’re an old hand looking for a fresh perspective, you’ll find valuable tidbits in this common-sense approach to enjoying love and sex in the plural.  We discuss terminology like “Swingers” and “Poly”, “hierarchy” and “relationship anarchy”, with advantages and disadvantages of self-labeling or choosing a niche. This is an interactive discussion with lots of room for beginners and experienced poly folk alike to share their questions and experiences.

​

Let’s talk about Sexuality: What It Is, What It Isn’t, What It Could Be!

What about people who call themselves “queer,” “omnisexual” and “pansexual”? This is an interactive workshop exploring pansexual, asexual, bisexual, heterosexual… all the sexuals (X-sexual). Whether you are comfortable, curious or just have no clue what this all means, this is the place to be! What is sexuality? How do X-sexuals manage their relationships? How does the world respond to X-sexual? What kind of concerns might a X-sexual person need to deal with, and what kind of joys can X-sexual bring with it? How can you be supportive of a friend or lover who might be X-sexual? We’ll talk about all of this and more in a safe atmosphere of respect and openness.

​

STIs and Fluid Bonding

The ever-awkward conversations and how to navigate them. We discuss here how to talk to partners, how to protect yourself, and what happens when something slips in the circle. We discuss what exactly “fluid bonded” means and how it can be abused or misinterpreted, as well as the various types of barriers and levels of barriered play along with risks of each “degree”. C'mon, let's talk about sex!!

​

The Logistics of Non-Monogamy

We know that non-monogamy is hot and sweet and wonderful. But sometimes it also comes with some headaches, such as, say… scheduling! Part lecture, part skillshare, part guided discussion, this workshop addresses the question of how to be considerate, efficient and sensitive about your time management in poly situations. We’ll start with some basic concepts – consideration, respect, prioritization, generosity and communication. Then we’ll tackle specific questions such as different relationship structures, living situations and power dynamics. And last, we’ll discuss the three big Ss: scheduling, space and sex. There are no one-size-fits all solutions, but if we all put our heads together, perhaps we’ll come up with some that will work for you!

​

Power in the Plural: D/s and Non-Monogamy

Not only are you interested in consensual power exchange, but now you wanna do it with more than one person at once? Just how much of a masochist are you? Okay, all kidding aside, dominant/submissive relationships and non-monogamy can both be avenues for intense intimate connection, amazing sex, and deep self-awareness. And both have plenty of potential for disaster—uh, that is, personal growth opportunities—along the way. Let’s talk about what happens when you put the two together and stir. This won’t be group therapy, but we’ll definitely tailor the discussion to the needs of the people who show up, so come prepared to share.

​

Effective Listening

Active listening is a technique frequently employed by peer support groups, hotline listening services and other support-oriented groups. It is a highly effective approach to support and listening work that’s centred on guiding a client through their own process in a non-judgemental way. Here we discuss the steps of the active listening approach, get practical tips for applying them, figure out where your own roadblocks lie, and experience numerous guided practice exercises with a peer review process to help you get comfortable with your new skills. We also discuss the Mindfull Approach to relationships and communication.

​

Lessons in Non-Monogamy: What Have We Learned So Far?

These days, there’s a ton of non-monogamy information out in the world—you can read up in lots of places about the basics of opening up an existing relationship, navigating the first pangs of jealousy, and figuring out how to colour-code your calendar. But when you’ve been doing non-monogamy for a while, you may have hit upon some challenges they don’t cover in the intro manuals. Relationships shift and end, configurations take on new shapes and sizes, living situations evolve, sexual desire waxes and wanes, new people show up in the mix. In navigating your own poly waters, what mistakes have you made along the way? What would you do differently if you could start over? What lessons have you learned? What wisdom can you share? Where do you need to challenge yourself to grow some more? What support do you need going forward? Come enjoy some thought-provoking exercises and facilitated discussion to assess where you’re at and get some ideas of where to go next. Newbies are welcome, but the discussion will be geared to those who have a couple years’ experience under their belts.
