SUMMARY:ONLINE: High Protocol for D/s with Sinclair Sexsmith
DESCRIPTION:Making rules\, tasks\, and ongoing protocol is one of the cornerstones of D/s dynamics. But it can be daunting to figure out where to start\, how to create different structures of protocol for different spaces\, and how to maintain the strict container. \nWe’ll go over some tools that help make protocol easier to experiment with and implement\, such as the cartography of control areas\, the protocol game\, and levels of protocol. Ultimately\, protocol is all about creating adjustable\, adaptable guidelines that feed the dynamic and enhance D/s headspace. You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation. \nPRESENTER: \nSINCLAIR SEXSMITH (they/them) is a queer trans butch\, a leather dominant\, and a writer\, focusing on individual\, interpersonal\, and institutional systems of power. They study dominance and submission\, social & restorative justice\, the energetic body\, trauma\, and transformation. They have been in the kink communities since 1999\, and orchestrate transformative kink scenes through written erotica and ritual practice. They actively explore the philosophies of power exchange and the practicalities of sustainable\, long term D/s. As a leather community member\, titleholder\, and organizer\, Sinclair has presented and performed 200+ times at 75+ venues\, including International Ms. Leather\, Dark Odyssey\, SXSW\, Harvard\, and Oz Kink Fest. Their short story collection\, Sweet & Rough: Queer Kink Erotica\, was a 2016 finalist for a Lambda Literary Award\, and they have edited 7 queer erotica anthologies; their latest book is Daddy4Daddy: Queer Kink Erotica.

DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been in the D/s world\, you know that some subs can be finicky on their search for the right Dominant.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Listening with Empathy with Master Retro Bella
DESCRIPTION:One of the most common traits among failed scenes\, negotiations\, and contract discussions is misunderstanding the intent behind a verbal statement. Oftentimes the intent is buried behind “under talk” and lack of trust. This can be particularly challenging when communication is already at a standstill. Join me as we explore how to regain trust and relearn how to listen with empathy. \nIn this class\, we will be covering: \n\nWhat is “Under talk” and how can we recognize it in our speech\nReading body language or the lack of body language\nLearning how to become a more empathic person\nRebuilding trust after a communication break down\nHow to create a safe place for private talks\n\nPRESENTER: \nMaster Retro Bella is a Latina High Femme Master and Leather woman from Bakersfield\, California. Her pronouns are She/Her/Hers. She is the first woman to earn the title of 2023 Southwest Master and became the first person of Latin descent to hold the 2024 International Master title. She is passionate about Latinx/ne representation in M/s and Leather spaces. This passion fueled her to create the Latine Leather Pride flag\, which debuted at South Plains Leatherfest in 2025\, and to become the founder of Latinos in Leather. Recognized as one of the Onyx Pearls’ “Young 8\,” she carries the pearl name Amara Pearl. Currently\, Master Retro Bella curates the Latinx Queer Chronicles on Substack\, which showcases the intersectionality of queerness and Latinidad. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mindful Brainwashing with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:If you have engaged in brainwashing or conditioning in kink\, you have probably spent time wrestling with the implications of your practice. To what extent is it acceptable to deliberately shape someone’s mind\, their responses\, their sense of self? Dynamics built around long-term conditioning carry their own particular stigma\, even within kink communities\, and that stigma makes it harder to think clearly about what’s happening. \nSome people find their way into sustainable\, deeply satisfying dynamics that focus on shaping one partner to the other’s liking\, and then have to reckon with the discomfort that comes with it. How do you talk honestly with someone who is actively being shaped to think in particular ways\, even when they asked for that very change? Some also run into rougher territory\, such as identity confusion or dynamics that started with good intentions and lost the plot somewhere along the way. \nWhile brainwashing is a word often heard in the kink community\, research into influence\, behavior shaping\, and identity is only now beginning to catch up with what communities have been doing for decades. The goal is also to sit with the word brainwashing itself and learn about what it means to each of us\, the history it may carry\, and what about it might be worth reclaiming. \nPRESENTER: \nAidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist\, educator\, researcher\, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware\, grounded in inclusive practices\, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience\, creating spaces where community voices are centered\, respected\, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM\, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA\, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research\, he has developed and led community education programs on kink\, consent\, trauma awareness\, and ethical non-monogamy. \nAt the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/af0f9455c3

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Strangers in the Night: Fray Sexuality\, Relationships & YOU! with Lady V
DESCRIPTION:Fray Sexuality is often described as an attraction to new and/or unfamiliar people\, often with little to no interpersonal connection previously. \nBeing Fray Sexual doesn’t mean you can’t have or maintain relationships. It doesn’t mean you’re cold or “not capable of love”. Its just a different layer of how someone is sexually attracted to people & practices their sexuality. \nFray Sexuality is often looked down upon instead of celebrated for what it is. This class helps us understand what Fray Sexuality is\, how to navigate being Fray Sexual\, & how to support a partner who’s Fray. \nJoin Lady V in the messy fray that is Fray Sexuality! In this class we’ll cover: \n\nSetting & maintaining boundaries with primary partners\nGetting needs met and navigating points of safety when getting intimate with strangers\nMaintaining primary & romantic relationships while being fray sexual\nCreating connection points outside of sexuality & romance\nBalancing respect with (sub)conscious objectification\n\nThis class is geared towards fellow fray sexuals\, partners of fray sexuals & the curious! The class is heavily geared toward consensual non-monogamy. \nCan’t make it? Recording available for 7 days! \nPRESENTER: \n@The_Lady_V (she/her) is a spiritually & socioculturally driven sex-positive educator\, community organizer & pro domina. \nUsing her background in film\, Lady V is able to use the power of improv to switch on a dime. Prior\, she served as the Program Manager for one of the few agencies in the world specializing in navigating sexuality & gender for people navigating intellectual/developmental disabilities. \nLady V has taught for conferences & sex positive venues across the US. She serves as an Advocacy Board Member for Sex Positive World & proudly helps facilitate their education as the Remote Education Coordinator. Lady V has also served the community by facilitating public health events. \nShe is an out\, proud\, & fierce-as-fire transwoman with a passion for empowering others.

Lady V considers herself both a lifestyle & professional switch. Any way the wind blows\, it doesn’t really matter to her. \nShe hopes to inspire others to enjoy sex positivity from an authentic place\, as well as embrace their spiritual place within sex positivity & find healing within it. \nYou can view more of her work at https://TheLadyV.Net or Fetlife at @‌The_Lady_V. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance.
