Wicked Grounds Presents: SpankLab!
A peer-led skill share to explore impact play
Hosted by @impossiblepain
SpankLab is something like a rope jam for impact play. We build community connections while learning skills from each other in a lighthearted, low-pressure space. SpankLab welcomes people new to the scene or curious about impact play, as well as experienced players looking to hone or expand their bottoming and topping skills. Bring toys if you have them, and wear whatever you like! @impossiblepain will be available throughout the event to monitor for safe play and as a resource for questions and hands-on instruction.
7 to 7:15: Impact play demo (different demo monthly!)
7:15: DOORS CLOSE
7:15-7:30: Review of rules and guidelines, toys show-and-tell
7:30-9: Socialize, observe, and practice impact play!

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.

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.
