Feeling social pressure to find someone to connect with?
We can’t promise love, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people, a lot of people, fast.
Our purpose is to encourage you to meet new people.
– Find people with similar kinks as yours.
– Find people with whom to explore new kinks.
– Find new friends.
– Find new people to play with.

People will be separated by appetite, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward.
The evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting, even if they aren’t your appetite.
Once the event has started, we can not add new people, so please be on time.
PRESENTER:
Ryan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender, or hosting events at the SF Citadel, Catalyst, and of course Wicked Grounds.
ACCESS:
In SF, this event will be held at Trellis. Please note that doors will close quickly so we recommend arriving 15 minutes before the event starts for check-in.
Please do not attend in person if you have any respiratory symptoms whatsoever. Anyone displaying signs of respiratory symptoms may be asked to leave, regardless of vaccination status.

Increasing Your Impact! A Daylong Impact Play Intensive with Miriam Green and impossiblepain
2025-07-12 10:00 - 18:00 | Folsom Street Community Center, 1286 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
Whether you’re new to impact play or want to take your play to the next level, we’d love you to join us for a unique daylong impact play experience. This daylong intensive is for tops and bottoms alike who would like to deepen and refine their impact play skillset.
We’ll work together to create a unique, hands-on immersion into impact play. We’ll cover negotiation and safety, emotional engagement, ergonomics, and somatic and verbal communication for hands-on play. Through the day, you’ll learn all the basics of impact play, whether you prefer to play using your hands and fists, or using rigid toys such as paddles, canes, tawses, and some truly sadistic home-grown pervertables.
Together, we’ll explore:

Negotiation & co-creation for impact play
Ergonomics, safety, and communication
How to integrate impact play into creative, dynamic scenes
How to play with your hands: slapping, hitting, spanking, punching & more!
How to play with rigid and semi-rigid impact toys: paddles, tawses, belts, canes, and more!
Processing pain and other physical and emotional sensations
Basic aftercare and post-scene preparation
How to create, plan and manage an impact scene through our capstone make-your-own-scene exercise

Please note that we’ll concentrate on rigid and semi-rigid toys, and we will not address floggers or whips in this class.
You do not need to come with a partner, but you should come prepared to play! In the early part of the day, we’ll try a lot on ourselves. Our afternoon capstone exercise will be a scene where you’ll apply your skills in a hands-on scene with a partner.

🌈🏳️‍⚧️ For all women and all LGBTQ bodies🌈🏳️‍⚧️
🌏YOU are welcome as you are. You don’t have to be skinny or feminine or strong or anything else to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed.
In a world that says pleasure is pointless and our bodies are for producing results, profit, or carrying our brains around, come spend a day in the radical act of loving your body exactly the way you are, right now.
💖What if you could move your body to music in new ways, that expanded both your physical self-expression and your relationship to your erotic self?
🎶We focus on floorwork, walking, standing, crawling, mind-body connection, organic movement, improvisation, authenticity, building confidence, and intentionality. Bring your questions, goals, concerns, curiosity, and desires!
This workshop is open to all levels.
If you have taken the shorter version in the past you are especially encouraged to attend. A section of time will be set aside to address your custom wants and needs.
💞 This class is Limited to 24 students to ensure personal attention, space, and time!!!
❤️‍🔥Connect your sensual heart to your body by moving in new ways to inspiring music. We practice allowing ourselves to find our inner sensual being, gaining confidence and movement vocabulary. Flexibility, strength, and musicality are all taught in an indirect way, while we focus on your body’s desires for movement and expression. Awaken new sides of your sensual self through movement and musicality in this slow and welcoming format. Suitable for all levels and abilities.
✨This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.
In the expanded day-long version of this workshop, in addition to everything above, we will also cover:

education on stretching and caring for your body in your regular life
extra focus on improvisation, and strengthening the mind body connection that allows us to be fully present in our dancing
addressing mental blocks that interrupt our musicality or take us away from the pleasure of our body in motion
how to stay fluid and in the zone while removing outer layers of clothing during movement (such as sweats or t shirts)

👕 WEAR LAYERS of clothes you feel good in, that stretch and move with your body, and that help you connect with your sensual energy. How we dress affects how we feel in our bodies.
“Stripping” is NEVER required. Nudity is NOT allowed. AND wearing clothes that YOU feel sexy in (whatever that is for you) will make a big difference.
As we warm up our bodies, booty shorts, boykini bottoms, wrestling shorts, bikini tops, sports bras, crop tops, etc. are all good options for those who feel comfortable. DO wear at least two layers over your crotch at all times, i.e. underwear and a second layer (or not-flimsy swimwear with two layers built-in is also great).

SF: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics Pre-Folsom Edition! with Miriam Green
2025-09-06 14:30 - 17:00 | Trellis Coworking and Events, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
Negotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn’t necessarily come naturally — especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene.
Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in the BDSM scene and relationships. We’ll talk about:

Negotiation styles
Pre-scene negotiations
How to negotiate without killing the mood
Checking in during and after the scene
Negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics

Drawing on what we know about the psychology of a scene, we’ll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic. This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications.
Since this is our pre-Folsom edition, we’ll also talk a bit about how consent works in public spaces like kinky street fairs, conferences, and parties!
If you’re curious to learn more about the public BDSM scene in San Francisco, join us at noon for our class Welcome to the SF Bay Area scene! You may get tickets to that here:

2025-09-13 10:30 - 17:00 | East Bay Community Space, 507 55th Street, Oakland, CA, 94609, United States
🌏YOU are welcome as you are. You don’t have to be skinny or feminine or strong or anything else to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed.
Join us for the full two-part workshop of Alexandria’s wildly popular Lap Dancing 101 + 201 classes. These always sell out so get your spot quick. Like all Click Your Heels events, these classes are primarily about building body confidence, practicing body awareness in real time, and holding a safe community space for all of us to be brave. We value and celebrate genuine erotic spirit, as is the birthright of all human bodies. Embody your sensual power in a whole new way. Buy your ticket now!
Learn simple and easy moves and rules to give a lap dance to any person you choose, with any type of music you like. No dance experience required! We will teach you to make the most of your natural instincts. This is a slow and powerful style of lap dancing that doesn’t require any serious moves and certainly no tricks. This style of lap dancing can be adapted to any type of music you like. We will work a lot on musicality in this class.
We cover how the traditional fundamentals of lap dancing can be easily applied to a huge variety of fun and sexy situations. Lap dancing can be used to showcase the feminine and/or masculine energy of the dancer. With Alexandria’s slow, steady, encouraging, and down to earth teaching style, you’ll be surprised how much you learn without realizing it. One step at a time you’ll be moving on the floor, in the lap, behind the chair, learning smooth transitions and so much more. No dance experience required! (And, of course, if you do have previous dance knowledge, we’ll show you how to incorporate your existing skills into this new context.)
We will also cover the etiquette of receiving a lap dance: when to hold still, when to move, how to sit/stand/etc., when and how to touch the dancer, and how to contribute to a great experience from both in and out of the chair.
No partner required: Individuals, pairs, and more-somes all welcome.

🚪 Doors open by 10:15am Introductions start at 10:30am. Doors close approximately 11am, and no late entry can be allowed after this time.
👣 Be prepared to be barefoot. This venue does not allow shoes in the main space. You will need to remove your shoes as you enter. Socks are optional.
💦 BRING a water bottle (yes there is a refill station).
👕 WEAR LAYERS of clothes you feel good in, that stretch and move with your body but keep your private areas well covered. No jeans! Layers are encouraged! How we dress affects how we feel in our bodies. “Stripping” is NEVER required. AND wearing clothes that YOU feel sexy in (whatever that is for you) will make a big difference.
After we’re warmed up, booty shorts, boykini bottoms, wrestling shorts, bikini tops, bras, crop tops, etc. are all good options for those who feel comfortable. DO wear at least two layers over your crotch at all times, i.e. underwear and a second layer (or not-flimsy swimwear with two layers built-in is also great), and all nipples are to remain covered at request of the venue.
OPTIONAL 🎶🎵
Prepare some music:
Choose 1-2 songs that you are interested in practicing lap dancing to. Please be able to name the song and the artist during class when it’s time. You want songs that
(A) have a very slow tempo AND
(B) help you feel your body, help you tap into your physicality AND
(C) Please check the full lyrics in advance! Avoid anything with common triggers such as racism, sexism, rape, murder, etc.
Not everyone will get their song picked during class but we try to use as many as possible. You may also “pass” or not raise your hand as needed.
Notes:
Remember that lap dancing is vulnerable and takes courage!
Use your common sense and be considerate of your classmates
🥄 Accessibility: one flight of stairs from the sidewalk to the lobby. Everything – check-in desk, cubbies for shoes, bathroom, lounge area, classroom space, is all on this one floor. Multiple seating areas for social or private hang-out time before and after class. Gender-neutral bathroom. Cubbies at many heights. Lots of natural light, dim light, etc.

SF: Kinky Queer Speed Friending/ Dating/ Whatever - FOLSOM EDITION Jumpstart Your Folsom Shenanigans with @GreenMir and @impossiblepain
2025-09-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Trellis Coworking and Events, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
You know that feeling when you meet a hot queer and you can’t tell if you want to kiss them, go directly to the U-Haul rental, or stay up all night talking about a shared interest? Queer relationships can be deliciously fluid, defying categorization.
Just in time for Folsom Street Fair 2025, @GreenMir and @impossiblepain bring you a speed friending/ dating/ whatever for kinky queers who want to meet other kinky queers. We’ll provide a lighthearted, low-stakes atmosphere with conversation starters in case you find yourself tongue-tied by the beautiful queers before you. You bring an open mind, adventurous spirit (this can be aspirational), and a bottle of water to stay hydrated. At the end of the evening, drop a note and your contact info into the mailboxes of the cuties you want to connect with, and see what unfolds!
Queer, trans, and questioning kinksters of all genders and kinky proclivities are welcome. There will be no kinky play at this event — save that for the weekend!

Feeling social pressure to find someone to connect with?
We can’t promise love, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people, a lot of people, fast.
Our purpose is to encourage you to meet new people.
– Find people with similar kinks as yours.
– Find people with whom to explore new kinks.
– Find new friends.
– Find new people to play with.
People will be separated by appetite, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward.
The evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting, even if they aren’t your appetite.
Once the event has started, we can not add new people, so please be on time.
PRESENTER:
Ryan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender, or hosting events at the SF Citadel, Catalyst, and of course Wicked Grounds.

We will talk about how to choose the best rope for particular bondage styles, including samples of rope types to feel and explore the different advantages they offer.
We will work on some fundamental ties that can get you started, like single and double column ties. And most importantly, the good places on the body to put rope. Once we have the basics down we will cover classic ties including the ladder tie, box tie, and Futomomo.
Please come prepared to practice! You are welcome to come alone or with a partner. If you come solo, be prepared to practice with a fellow attendee. We will have some loaner rope available, but please bring your own rope and safety shears if you have them.

SF: Electro Play from the Bottom with Pangressive
2025-12-06 15:00 - 17:00 | Folsom Street Community Center, 1286 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
“Electro Play from the Bottom” is an exploration of the wide variety of sensations and pain that can be inflicted using electricity. The instructor, pangressive (he/they), will be bottoming, assisted by demo top Addy (she/her). pangressive will explain the similarities and differences of a wide range of electro toys, and will describe what they feel like. He will endure a violet wand, zappers, cattle prod, flyswatter, shock collars (not applied to the neck), a TENS unit, and a hand-crank magneto generator box that he built himself out of a WWII field telephone. If he’s still verbal after all that torture, he will share some data and home science investigations on the effect of electric current on human body resistance and the changes in pain perception that correlate with changes in body resistance.
PRESENTER:
pangressive (he/they), a bottom-leaning switch, is the host of Current Events, the Bay Area’s electro munch. They are also the host of BABKA (Bay Area Bi/Pan Kinky Alliance) and co-host of P6 (Partially Prenegotiated Pansexual Prison Play Party), a private group that produces group CNC/free use scenes. pangressive has been in the kink scene since 2001, when he walked into Seattle’s storied former dungeon club The Wet Spot and said he wanted to get beaten up. They have played in the Seattle, Boston/New England, and Bay Area scenes, with some experience in the D.C. scene as well. His scene experience includes both pansexual and gay male spaces. pangressive enjoys tight bondage of all kinds, impact, clips and clamps, hot wax, and occasional sexual content in scenes in addition to electro.
They are excited to present an intro to electro play from the bottom’s perspective, assisted by well-respected kinkster and experienced presenter Addy (she/her) as demo top.

Tickets: $20 – $50 in advance, or $30 – $60 at the door. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford.

One day, two workshops!
Those interested in stripping for burlesque, drag, and other performance situations should plan to stay for the full day.
If you’re only interested in stripping for personal sexy times, you may take the first half of the day as an independent workshop, or plan to make the day of it!
Stripping 101: Stripping for Your Real (Kinky) Life
We all take our clothes off at some point! In this class you will learn to be more present, take control, and make the most of the moment, in both everyday situations – like taking off your jacket on a first date – plus video dates, spicy parties, and any X-rated times!
Practice makes perfect! If you want to feel more confident and less self conscious when taking off your clothes, come learn all the tips and tricks to avoid looking awkward. Look calm, cool, and sexy in any disrobing scenario!
Whether you plan to embrace the spotlight of the moment and capture all eyes and attention while you strip, or you just want to make sure you don’t fall down or look silly, spend a couple hours with an expert to up your game.
Stripping 201: Stripping for The Spotlight
You’ve taken Stripping 101 but you need more! You’re eager for the spotlight, literal or metaphorical! Do you have plans or visions, goals or fantasies, that involve you stripping for some kind of audience? Maybe you’re already a working professional – drag, burlesque, pole, go-go dancing, strip clubs, etc. Or maybe you’re preparing for your first time on stage? Or maybe you’re just a confident, playful, extrovert who loves attention and wants to know how to draw the focus of the crowd at sexy parties and dance floors wherever you go. Yes! Welcome to all! This class is ideal for all the performers, professional, amateur, brand new, aspiring, or just performers at heart; anyone who wants to add seamless and magnetic stripping to their repertoire.
Learn a large variety of stripping secrets to help you look smooth and feel confident, get all the logistics out of your way, and make you eye-catching, memorable, mesmerizing. We’ll cover lots of common situations and circumstances that performers must navigate. Join us for a fun learning experience with demos, practice time, Q+A, community building, and student driven content.
We strongly recommend that everyone take the Stripping 101 class in the morning before the afternoon session. However, very experienced folks may request a code to attend just 201, ask Alexandria at 2468dance@gmail.com.
