Hello kinksters – We had some of the best feedback you can ever want in our business last night, from a couple of different people in different conversations. In essence: your classes gave me permission to play the way I’ve always wanted to play. That’s the thing about kink and sex-positive culture. Yes, there are lots of tropes out there. And sure, there are people in the kink world that will put forth their ideals as the One True Right and Only Way. But in the real world of thriving play and relationships, there isn’t one way. There is a wide range of potential, and what works great for one person might not for another. Our goal has always been to help people find the next steps on their own personal erotic roadmaps, by building tools for developing confidence, banishing guilt, and allowing room to evolve as individuals in relationships and communities. I am delighted when we’re able to get it right and make a difference. This also seems to be a theme of the week, as several of our instructors explore the many right ways of doing things, from D/s and polyamory to age play and bondage! We have a lot of classes this week, including both online classes and several live in the SF Bay Area. Let’s take a look at what you can expect this week: This Week! Thursday, Dec 4 Online: Let’s make some magic! Join Madam Rosie Rose online tonight for her second class on bringing full moon energy into play, Elemental Magic & Lunar Energy in BDSM. (This is a free-standing class, and you do not need to have attended the previous class to take part!) Advanced ticketing required. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.
