SUMMARY:ONLINE: Intro to Verbal Humiliation: Off the Cuff\, On Your Knees with Dolly Diatima
DESCRIPTION:Words can sting. Words can seduce. In the right hands\, they can do both at once. \nIn this class\, we will explore verbal humiliation through the lens of improv comedy\, and you’ll learn how to use “yes and” to make them say “yes\, mistress” or “yes\, sir.” Using techniques like commitment\, quick decision-making\, and bold choices\, you will learn how to build connections\, stay in control\, and maintain chemistry. \nThroughout the class\, we will build skills in tone\, pacing\, eye contact\, and volume\, and discuss how to use these tools to create a playful cruelty that feels collaborative and consensual rather than just mean. \nBy the end of the class\, you will be able to move without hesitation\, use your voice without apology\, and create a very special tension that will hum and vibrate throughout your entire dynamic or scene. \nOnce you find your voice\, you won’t want to hold it back. \nPRESENTER: \nDolly Diatima is a Persian American professional dominatrix\, writer\, fetish model\, and lifestyle kinkster. As a nonbinary and neurodivergent sex worker on the ace spectrum\, they offer a unique perspective into kink and sexuality which they work to bring into their sessions as a domme as well as into their writings and classes. They are currently one semester away from a BA in Philosophy and can often be found discussing the intersection of kink and philosophical concepts on their blog. After graduation\, they plan to pursue an AASECT sexuality educator certification. In their spare time\, they enjoy drawing in the pop surrealism style\, watching extreme horror films\, and collecting vintage fashion. They reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with their big beautiful tuxedo cat\, Ligeia. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/4f12de7e15

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Strangers in the Night: Fray Sexuality\, Relationships & YOU! with Lady V
DESCRIPTION:Fray Sexuality is often described as an attraction to new and/or unfamiliar people\, often with little to no interpersonal connection previously. \nBeing Fray Sexual doesn’t mean you can’t have or maintain relationships. It doesn’t mean you’re cold or “not capable of love”. Its just a different layer of how someone is sexually attracted to people & practices their sexuality. \nFray Sexuality is often looked down upon instead of celebrated for what it is. This class helps us understand what Fray Sexuality is\, how to navigate being Fray Sexual\, & how to support a partner who’s Fray. \nJoin Lady V in the messy fray that is Fray Sexuality! In this class we’ll cover: \n\nSetting & maintaining boundaries with primary partners\nGetting needs met and navigating points of safety when getting intimate with strangers\nMaintaining primary & romantic relationships while being fray sexual\nCreating connection points outside of sexuality & romance\nBalancing respect with (sub)conscious objectification\n\nThis class is geared towards fellow fray sexuals\, partners of fray sexuals & the curious! The class is heavily geared toward consensual non-monogamy. \nCan’t make it? Recording available for 7 days! \nPRESENTER: \n@The_Lady_V (she/her) is a spiritually & socioculturally driven sex-positive educator\, community organizer & pro domina. \nUsing her background in film\, Lady V is able to use the power of improv to switch on a dime. Prior\, she served as the Program Manager for one of the few agencies in the world specializing in navigating sexuality & gender for people navigating intellectual/developmental disabilities. \nLady V has taught for conferences & sex positive venues across the US. She serves as an Advocacy Board Member for Sex Positive World & proudly helps facilitate their education as the Remote Education Coordinator. Lady V has also served the community by facilitating public health events. \nShe is an out\, proud\, & fierce-as-fire transwoman with a passion for empowering others. While hailing from Detroit\, Michigan\, she has settled in Salem\, Oregon\, with her Mistress in a 24/7 TPE where she serves as the majordomo for her leather family\, the Atomic Army. Lady V considers herself both a lifestyle & professional switch. Any way the wind blows\, it doesn’t really matter to her. \nShe hopes to inspire others to enjoy sex positivity from an authentic place\, as well as embrace their spiritual place within sex positivity & find healing within it. \nYou can view more of her work at https://TheLadyV.Net or Fetlife at @‌The_Lady_V. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mindful Brainwashing with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:If you have engaged in brainwashing or conditioning in kink\, you have probably spent time wrestling with the implications of your practice. To what extent is it acceptable to deliberately shape someone’s mind\, their responses\, their sense of self? Dynamics built around long-term conditioning carry their own particular stigma\, even within kink communities\, and that stigma makes it harder to think clearly about what’s happening. \nSome people find their way into sustainable\, deeply satisfying dynamics that focus on shaping one partner to the other’s liking\, and then have to reckon with the discomfort that comes with it. How do you talk honestly with someone who is actively being shaped to think in particular ways\, even when they asked for that very change? Some also run into rougher territory\, such as identity confusion or dynamics that started with good intentions and lost the plot somewhere along the way. \nWhile brainwashing is a word often heard in the kink community\, research into influence\, behavior shaping\, and identity is only now beginning to catch up with what communities have been doing for decades. The goal is also to sit with the word brainwashing itself and learn about what it means to each of us\, the history it may carry\, and what about it might be worth reclaiming. \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/af0f9455c3

SUMMARY:ONLINE: High Protocol for D/s with Sinclair Sexsmith
DESCRIPTION:Making rules\, tasks\, and ongoing protocol is one of the cornerstones of D/s dynamics. But it can be daunting to figure out where to start\, how to create different structures of protocol for different spaces\, and how to maintain the strict container. \nWe’ll go over some tools that help make protocol easier to experiment with and implement\, such as the cartography of control areas\, the protocol game\, and levels of protocol. Ultimately\, protocol is all about creating adjustable\, adaptable guidelines that feed the dynamic and enhance D/s headspace. You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation. \nPRESENTER: \nSINCLAIR SEXSMITH (they/them) is a queer trans butch\, a leather dominant\, and a writer\, focusing on individual\, interpersonal\, and institutional systems of power. They study dominance and submission\, social & restorative justice\, the energetic body\, trauma\, and transformation.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Badass Boundaries: The Discipline of Power with Buzz Stingyear
DESCRIPTION:This is not a healing circle.\nThis is a standards reset. \nBadass Boundaries is for dominant-identifying men who are serious about leading with integrity. True dominance is not chaos\, rather it is clarity before intensity. When your protocol is explicit and solid\, trust deepens and your authority strengthens. \nThis course teaches you how to eliminate ambiguity and operate at a higher standard of consent and accountability. \nOperational Objectives:\nDefine the Area of Engagement: Establish boundaries clearly before action begins. \nBuild Enthusiastic Buy-In: Move beyond reluctant compliance into active participation. \nMaintain Signal Integrity: Use communication systems that protect both intensity and safety. \nPractice Zero-Defect Accountability: Own every outcome. No excuses. No deflection. \nYour word is the contract. Your discipline is the power. \nWhy Attend: The Tactical Advantage \nAmbiguity erodes trust. Precision builds it. \nMany consent violations don’t come from malice\, but come from assumption\, ego\, or skipping negotiation. In high-intensity dynamics\, this is a liability. When boundaries are vague\, leadership becomes fragile. \nConsent is not a leash. It is a green light. \nWhen the protocol is clear\, action becomes cleaner\, safer\, and more powerful. Stop guessing and defending yourself. Start leading with confidence and integrity. \nPRESENTER: \nBuzz_Stingyear is a late-blooming kinkster who grew up in a money-driven\, Trump-aligned household. He internalized a rigid worldview that took years of effort to unravel. With a doctorate in Counseling Psychology\, he strives to align his personal growth with his training. Entering the public kink community exposed him to the transformative power of feedback\, accountability\, and consent culture. Behaviors once normalized in his vanilla world were challenged and reexamined. Buzz remains committed to self growth\, becoming less reactive and more compassionate\, and supporting others in finding connection\, safety\, and self-awareness within the kink community. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Monster Matchmaking: Assessing Compatibility for Emotional Sadomasochism with SuspendDisbelief
DESCRIPTION:Who should we trust to (consensually) hurt our feelings? Wait\, what even are feelings? In a scarcity mindset\, we sometimes focus on the specifics of fulfilling a fantasy and forget to establish whether our scene partner(s) are right for the job. This class zooms in on motivations for and compatibility during emotional sadomasochism from a bottom’s perspective. \nSuspendDisbelief applies an academic lens to almost a decade of experience being consensually bullied in public to help fellow masochists gain insight into their play desires. \nPRESENTER: \nSuspendDisbelief (she/her) is a queer\, non-monogamous power exchange and sadomasochism nerd. Her hobby of choice has been getting hurt in public since 2017\, but she has been fantasizing about powerlessness and crushing on former boy scouts exclusively for their knowledge of knots for far longer than that. On top of bottoming for power exchange and physical+emotional sadism\, she started tying herself in 2019 and swiftly snowballed down the pipeline toward rope topping. She uses the chaos goblin energy bestowed upon her by her ADHD to enhance her teaching and help people like her “get it”. She currently helps facilitate and teaches monthly for Hitchin’ Bitches DC. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Safety in the Shadows: Kink vs Toxicity in Dark Dynamics with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Concepts such as consensual non-consent (CNC)\, degradation\, humiliation\, and the intentional imitation of abuse cycles are all valid ways to express power exchange and kink. They can also quickly blur the lines between “healthy” and “unhealthy.” \nThrough the sharing of stories\, research\, strategies\, and communication tools\, participants will be empowered to navigate these complex relationships and discern between dark dynamics and toxic behavior. We will emphasize the significance of communication\, active listening\, understanding\, boundaries\, and care within darker elements of total power exchange (TPE) and discuss preventive measures to minimize the risk of harm\, along with ways to course-correct if an unhealthy dynamic is identified. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context. As an educator\, she aims to give honest and risk-aware information that applies to the realities of human behavior\, focusing largely on the “how” and asking people to consider their personal capabilities\, interests\, and readiness. Passionate about community collaboration\, vahavta is proud to run the Risk Evaluation Database (RED) and contribute regularly to kink blogs and her own Fetlife writing index. In all aspects of her life\, she strives to be a work in progress. \nTICKETING \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/07ac7256e9
