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.
TICKETING:
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.

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.
We cannot admit anyone after about 7:10 (once the event has begun), so please plan accordingly! Late arrivals cannot be refunded.
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.

SF: This is Your Brain on Kink. (Any Questions?) with Miriam Green
2026-01-03 15:00 - 17:00 | Trellis Coworking and Events, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
While our relationships with kink are deeply personal and sometimes idiosyncratic, the neuroscience of peak experiences can tell us a lot about what we all have in common. Learning about what happens in our brains when we play can lead to better communication and better scenes.
Together, we’ll explore:

The four major neurotransmitters behind building a kink headspace
How and why edgeplay makes even well-planned scenes less predictable
How to stay in communication before, during, and after each scene
What to know when negotiating for relationships
The causes of post-scene drop, and how to deal with drop when it occurs

OAK: Flexibility for Kink and Erotic Movement (by Click Your Heels) Flexibility for Kink and Erotic Movement
2026-01-04 10:00 - 15:00 | East Bay Community Space, 507 55th Street, Oakland, CA, 94609, United States
One day, two workshops!
Those interested in learning both the conditioning it takes to prevent injury and learn enticing movement should plan to stay for the full day.
We will not have time allotted for much stretching and warmup during Erotic Movement as a standalone class; we strongly recommend attending for the full day. If you plan to attend only Erotic Movement, please plan to arrive early and take time before class to get fully warmed up and stretched before we begin.
Flexibility for Kink
Like a gorgeous leather jacket can age beautifully or badly depending on how it’s cared for, stretching our bodies is fundamental to staying healthy.
But rarely do we make time to stretch, and too often we don’t know enough about how to do it. Just like the leather clothes, boots, or toys we love, we want our bodies to be available for fun and thrilling adventures on demand. Both our bodies and our leather thrive best and live longest with regular care and attention, not just at Folsom but all year round.
With roots in yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, ballet, calisthenics, and more, this class is my own creation. A relaxing, gentle, and holistic experience, in this class you will discover new stretches and learn new ways to care for your body. Get guidance and support from an expert (me!), expand your physical reach, and have fun too!
Erotic Movement
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.
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.
WARNING ⚠️
Lower body nudity is not allowed in this class!!! Wear a PG-13/”street legal” base layer over your lower half private areas that you will NOT be removing – swimwear is ideal!
Nipples and chests of all genders are welcome to be bare in this class, or you may keep them covered to suit your personal preference. Please plan accordingly.

2026-02-05 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 Valentine’s Day, @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!
PRESENTERS:

All Bodies, All Genders! 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 half day workshop of Alexandria’s wildly popular Lap Dancing 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 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.
Remember that lap dancing is vulnerable and takes courage!
Use your common sense and be considerate of your classmates.
COMING TO CLASS? READ THIS–> 🎒 Info for attending:
✨This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.
🚪 Doors open at 10:30am. Introductions start at 11am. Doors close approximately 11:30am.
💦 BRING a water bottle (yes there is a refill station). You may also want to bring a light snack; our break will be short.
👕 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).
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.

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.

SF: How to Dungeon In and Dominate With Heels: Daylong Intensive Make the most of your natural instincts with Alexandria of Click Your Heels!
2026-03-07 10:00 - 17:00 | Folsom Street Community Center, 1286 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
This daylong Intensive consists of two classes combined, plus a 45 minute break for lunch. Both classes will have content relevant for tops and bottoms alike!
We recommend staying for the full day. However, you are welcome to book for only the portion of the day that feels most valuable to you!
How to Dungeon in Heels (10am – 1pm)
Do you have high heels looking dusty in your closet? Do you see other people in heels when you go out and think, I wish that was me? It’s time to strap in y’all! This class will get you feeling comfortable for all that the world might throw at you when you take on life in glorious high heels.
Everyone is welcome, from beginners to more experienced folks looking to level up. All Bodies, All Ages, All Genders!
Kink parties and dungeons can be fun and fabulous but they are often NOT high heel friendly. Let’s get you ready to face her dangerous beauty with your own.
You will gain more confidence with practical key skills like

different types of high heels, their pros and cons
stairs
slopes, walking uphill and downhill
turning around
walking on carpet
walking on uneven/cracked floors/streets
walking with speed
getting on and off a tall seat (like a barstool)
getting in and out of a low seat
taking a big step, such as over a train gap
changing clothes
picking up something off the floor
weight shifting, such as for dancing or other movement
stretches to improve stamina

And lots more!
Prerequisites for morning class:

You must bring your own heels to wear. If you have extras, feel free to bring multiple pairs to class, such as lower heels vs higher, platforms vs no platform, straps vs slip-ons, etc.

How to Dominate with Heels (1:45pm – 5pm)
Did you know that high heeled shoes can be one of the best tools for Dominance, and the focus of the activity, just like a flogger, paddle, or whip? The heels you are wearing can be used against your submissive for control, threats, pain, worship, intimidation, and lots more. Come explore all the creative ways to use your heels in a BDSM scene, as the only tool you need for full experiences in any direction you choose.
Learn how to put those heels to work! Inflict pain and suffering, inspire adoration and submission, demand obedience and devotion, all while looking like a million bucks in your favorite high heels.
Both tops and bottoms are warmly welcomed! You are encouraged — but not required — to come to this class with a partner. (Unpartnered attendees should be prepared to practice with another attendee.) This class is a great opportunity for submissives and bottoms to experience heels used on their bodies in a safe, controlled environment,
This class covers the high heel element of many areas, including some shoe fetish material, S/M, D/s, heels training, body language, impact play, sensation play, scene building, and much more.
Prerequisites for afternoon class:

Bring your own heels, multiple pairs are welcome.
Folks in the Dominant role need to be comfortable with basic movement in your heels (standing, walking, sitting down and getting up, etc).
Submissives (and switches taking the submissive role for the class) are welcome as they are.

Have you seen people pulling out rope for a bondage scene, and it looks fun but overwhelming? Whether you’re new to rope or need a refresher, this class is perfect for you.
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.

LA: Wicked Grounds: This is Your Brain on Kink (Any Questions?)
2026-03-21 15:00 - 17:00 | CA
While our relationships with kink are deeply personal and sometimes idiosyncratic, the neuroscience of peak experiences can tell us a lot about what we all have in common. Learning about what happens in our brains when we play can lead to better communication and better scenes.
​Together, we’ll explore:

​The four major neurotransmitters behind building a kink headspace

​How and why edgeplay makes even well-planned scenes less predictable

​How to stay in communication before, during, and after each scene

​What to know when negotiating for relationships

​The causes of post-scene drop, and how to deal with drop when it occurs
