Pleasure, Power, and Pain: An Introduction to BDSM
Wednesday, January 28th — 7:30 p.m. — $20
BDSM — whips, chains, and lots of black leather, right? Well… sometimes! But the world of kink and BDSM covers so much more, from a little rough sex to the opportunity to explore your personal boundaries, both emotional and physical.
If you’ve been curious about something you’ve read, or turned on by a scene in a movie that’s a little rougher than the usual fare, this class is for you! You’ll learn how to use those amazing toys and have the chance to see what they feel like. We’ll also be discussing role play, power dynamics, and resources for finding the local BDSM community.
Bring your fantasies, your questions, and your curiosity and get ready for a hot evening!
