SUMMARY:ONLINE: BDSM Negotiation: From Awkward to Awesome with Miriam Green
DESCRIPTION:Ever felt that pre-scene flutter of nerves when it comes to expressing your boundaries or deepest desires? You’re not alone. But being honest about your desires and voicing them out loud is critical for safe\, hot scenes — and it’s what experienced players will expect from you. \nEffective kink negotiation isn’t always intuitive\, especially when you’re just starting out. But it can be learned\, and we’re going to do just that. \nThis Kink 101 session is designed to transform hesitant conversations into confident\, connection-building dialogues. You’ll walk away with practical tools to ask for exactly what you want\, making your play hotter\, safer\, and incredibly fun. \nWe’ll explore: \n\nNegotiation styles for your own style and voice\nMastering pre-play agreements that set the stage for thrilling scenes\nHow to negotiate without breaking the mood\nNailing communication during and after the scene\nHow to adapt scene negotiations within existing BDSM relationships\n\nThis workshop welcomes all genders\, orientations\, and dynamic styles. \nDrawing on the psychology of peak experiences\, we’ll learn how to collaborate as partners\, using negotiation not as a chore\, but as a powerful act of co-creation. Whether you’re curious about kink\, a relative newcomer\, or a seasoned kinkster looking to sharpen your communication\, you’ll walk away with new perspectives and skills. \nGet ready to navigate your desires with a newfound swagger and make every negotiation count! \nPRESENTER: \nMiriam Green (they/them) has been active in the public kink scene for over twenty years and an instructor for more than twelve\, focusing on communication skills\, impact play\, and advanced kink techniques. As the owner of kink education company Wicked Grounds\, Mir collaborates with dozens of other educators to offer a wide range of classes for kinksters at every stage of their BDSM journey. \nOver the past dozen years\, Mir has taught several hundred BDSM classes through Wicked Grounds\, Society of Janus\, Foundations\, Arizona Power Exchange\, Dark Odyssey\, Boundless Events\, and other respected kink organizations and conferences. They particularly enjoy leading intensives\, helping students deepen their kink skills over a day\, weekend\, or multiple weeks online.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Your Kink Is Not My Kink - But Is Your Kink OK? with Sir Panda
DESCRIPTION:The guideline of “Your Kink Is Not My Kink” (YKINMK) has become foundational in the sex positive and BDSM communities as the standard for acceptance of diversity – and as the gold standard to avoid shaming. But what happens when we struggle with another’s kink\, to the point of becoming judgmental\, disturbed\, or even triggered? \nThis class will review types of play (including edge play) that might “squick” or trigger us\, and why. We’ll examine how to overcome our own biases\, discuss what to report and what not to report\, and how to reach the tolerance of Your Kink Is OK. \nPRESENTER: \nSir-Panda (he/him) is a polyamorous Dominant living in the Kansas City metro area. He has been a kink educator since he began teaching consent and BDSM basics at Seattle’s Center for Sex Positive Culture in 2011. He has taught for Fetish Con\, Leather Reign\, the Kink Center\, Pragmatic Kink\, Wicked Grounds\, and the Venusian Society. He especially focuses on the mental and relationship aspects of kink and polyamory\, drawing on over 30 years of experience and a passion for research. \nSir Panda is a Certified Professional Life Coach\, an Accredited Relationship Coach\, a Mental Health First Aider\, a consent advocate\, and a member of the Social Psychology Network. Find him on FetLife as Sir-Panda or Instagram and Substack as RealSirPanda. To learn more or to book a coaching session\, please visit www.dsoutreach.com. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer multiple price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/939f0b3229

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Are You Sure You Want To Do That? Risk Profile: An Introduction! with Mel and Memi
DESCRIPTION:Ever heard the expression ‘risk aware’ and wondered what it means and why we use it so much these days? \nThis workshop explores pleasure\, risk and harm and ways we can navigate decisions to lessen unwanted impact and enjoy wanted risks. \nOur idea is that everyone leaves with a better sense of where they are on the risk spectrum and how they can use the idea of “harm and pleasure management” as well as reflect on how they relate to the possibility of harming/hurting others and/or ourselves. \nWhat the workshop will cover: \n-Introduction to harm\, risk\, and pleasure from different points of view\n-Introduction to the history of harm reduction and why it applies to kink\n-Risk aversion\, risk seeking\, risk acceptance\n-Self consent: why it matters and how we can practice accountability\n-Introduction to risk profiles: What are those? Why do I want one?\n-How to make your own risk profile \nPRESENTERS: \nMel (he/him) is an Argentinian trans masc aligned gender fluid sex and BDSM educator. He is the co-founder of Kinky Vibe Argentina\, a collective based in Buenos Aires that hosts events\, support groups and workshops for the kinky\, queer and neurodivergent community both online and offline. Lifestyle kinkster\, he has been doing kink for the last ten years\, identifies as sub-leaning switch\, and is a sex worker (ProDomme). \nOne of his greatest passions is thinking about power\, risk\, and self-consent in the context of kink\, and spending most of his time accompanying people on their kinky journey. He has been teaching about kink\, pleasure\, risk\, and depathologization for the last nine years. \nMemi (he/him) is an Argentinian trans masc person\, who is a lifestyle kinkster\, a history teacher\, and an early-career researcher in the history of sexualities. He has been doing kink for almost a decade in a wide variety of kinks\, relationships\, dynamics\, and sides of the slash. He is very curious about power\, oppression\, and the complex history behind kink\, the space where didactics and kink meet\, and loves to be a kink enabler to everyone around. \nTICKETING: \n$30 – $60 in advance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/317aaff023

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Kink\, Trauma Play\, and Healing: A Research-Informed Deep Dive with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:If you have engaged in trauma play in kink\, this class gives you a straightforward way to understand what was happening. Many kink practitioners who work with traumatic experiences through kink recognize the territory but often lack the language to describe it. Some leave a scene feeling steadier\, while others feel more shaken\, largely because no one ever taught them how to name the processes they just went through. People have been working through difficult emotions in kink for a long time\, and research is only now beginning to catch up. \nThis class brings together community insight and current research tidbits to offer a clearer picture of the patterns\, mechanics\, and meanings people often find in trauma play. Without idealizing or pathologizing the practice\, it provides a space to look closely at something many people know intimately and want to finally understand. Join us for a kinky deep-dive\, with plenty of time for questions and chit-chat! \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/8aab075396
