Masked Mayhem (July 2026)

Description: This class covers basic handling of a single tail whip with control. We&rsquo;ll go over body mechanics of the Top, how to grip and aim, and how to avoid the wild throws. This beginner-friendly class focuses on safety in play, care of the whip, and creating a good foundation to build your skills.&nbsp; Please bring:- Whip (if you have one, limited number will be available for use.)&nbsp;- Eye protection (prescription glasses are fine)&nbsp;- Wide brim hat (if you have one) Instructor Bio:&nbsp;Joker has been exploring kink for over 20 years, with deep roots in the South Sound since 2012. He is a member of the South Sound Leather Alliance and a practicing Sadist. He lives in the chaos, where control is learned, not assumed. With the whip, the edge of chaos is immediate. What starts as wild throws, missed targets, and hesitation, is shaped into precision, consistency, and intent. Joker&rsquo;s teaching focuses on building strong fundamentals in body mechanics and control, helping attendees turn unpredictable movement into confident, directed impact.

Come learn important information from an ER nurse who is also an experienced kinkster. This class will cover three essential topics for people who engage in BDSM: - A walkthrough of different parts of the human anatomy that will help you make safer choices in your play and understand the risks inherent in many BDSM activities.- The appropriate actions to take in response to the consequences of these types of play.- Risk profiles and their importance in engaging in safer consensual play. Additionally, the class will contain some discussion of certain law-related aspects that pertain to helping people in emergency situations. To cultivate a culture of informed consent, both tops and bottoms must understand how different types of play can affect the body. This class gives you the information you need to build your own risk profile and not have to rely on myths and opinions heard through other kinksters in their community. Bio: Lilithan has been an Emergency and Trauma Registered Nurse for 8 years. She has a decade of experience as a Switch spent in multiple places in the US.

Anatomy 101 for BDSM (Masks Required)

Relationships with dominant/submissive dynamics are so widely varied, each one is different from the next. That’s the incredible beauty and liberation of D/s relationships — they are designer, highly customized, made to order for exactly the people who are in them right now. However, that can also be the challenge: how do you customize a D/s relationship to exactly what *you* want?&nbsp; In this D/s intensive, we will cover the major building blocks of D/s relationships, so you can decide which ones are the right fit for you. We'll have lots of time to present and discuss concepts (with some nerdy charts and graphs), and we'll do some experiential somatic practices to feel our dynamics in our bodies.

Masked Mayhem (May 2026)

A masked showing of By Hook or By Crook, a lovely about trans men doing crimes. This is a film so full to the brim with 2001 digital fuzz that it pervades even the plot, giving the whole thing the hazy feeling of being a half step off our plane of existence. Perfect for a Saturday afternoon viewing with people who get it. Queer Movie Night welcomes everyone, queer or not, who&#39;s down to appreciate queer cinema.

Queer Movie Matinee: By Hook or By Crook

Class Description: Scenes are made or broken by how you adapt to the unexpected. Sometimes this is a major problem, but much more often it&#39;s small things. External events happen, gear fails, people are complicated. We run with something working unexpectedly well. We try new things and do them imperfectly or discover the fantasy was hotter. These are things you can do before, during, and after play to decrease the risks and increase the benefits of error. &nbsp;This class will include presentation on skills, and talking through real-life incidents small and large. Many of the incidents will be accompanied by video; some of Russell&#39;s many imperfect moments have been recorded by camera crews. Some of the material can be emotionally challenging, but you will come away from the class with tools for when you encounter the unexpected in your scenes.&nbsp; Instructor Bio: Russell Harmon has been teaching popular kink-related classes since 1999, and has lots of practice learning from mistakes. He also runs Lovingly Handmade.&nbsp;
