SUMMARY:ONLINE: Receiving Service Well: Is This Meaningful to You? with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:Most conversations about service focus on what a submissive is willing or eager to offer\, which is lovely. However\, far less attention is given to the Dominant staring at a lovingly presented act of service and thinking\, with genuine affection\, “I appreciate this very much\, and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it.” \nThis class is for anyone who wants to better understand what service actually means to them. We will discuss different forms of service\, how to identify what you genuinely enjoy receiving\, how to communicate preferences and standards clearly\, and how service-oriented submissives can better understand what makes an act feel meaningful to the person receiving it. Sometimes that means completing a task in the quickest or most practical way. Sometimes it means doing it in a very odd and particular way because that is what the Dominant enjoys\, values\, or has asked for. \nIt may be easy to say that service well done is service wanted\, but what does that actually mean in practice? What happens when efficiency and preference point in different directions? The goal is for you to leave with practical tools for building service dynamics with less hopeful guesswork and far fewer beautifully polished things nobody really asked for. \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/87c121c137

SUMMARY:Kinky Speed Friending with PsychoKitty
DESCRIPTION:We can’t promise love\, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people\, a lot of people\, fast. \nOur purpose is to encourage you to meet new people. \n– Find people with similar kinks as yours. \n– Find people with whom to explore new kinks. \n– Find new friends. \n– Find new people to play with. \n  \nPeople 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. \nThe 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. \nOnce the event has started\, we can not add new people\, so please be on time. \n  \nPRESENTER: \nRyan “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. \n  \nACCESS: \nIn 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. \nWe cannot admit anyone after about 7:10 (once the event has begun)\, so please plan accordingly! Late arrivals cannot be refunded. \nPlease do not attend in person if you have any respiratory symptoms whatsoever.
