The book 50 Shades of Grey brought S&M out of the shadows and into the spotlight. It also left many of us wondering how to safely incorporate all those delicious things we read about into our own bedrooms.
In this class Ken and Sunny take you through the elements of BDSM: Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission and Sadomasochism. They also cover pre-negotiation/contracts, toys & tools, role-play, meeting other kinksters, the differences between BDSM and abuse, physical and mental safety plus much more.
Whether you aim to dive in in to the BDSM lifestyle or simply want to incorporate a little kink in the bedroom, you’ll walk away with the tools and confidence you need to get and give the most out of kinky play.
This class is suitable for those single or partnered. Persons of all gender identities, sexual orientation, kink interests and activity levels welcome.
