Hot & Healthy Erotic Humiliation – Kink Class @ Bloom Community App
Aug 10 @ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Curious about humiliation kink? Do you wonder why some people are into being embarrassed, shamed, and degraded? Many steer clear of humiliation because it seems so extreme and cruel. While some enjoy emotionally heavy humiliation, this kink can take on many forms, including lighthearted and playful.

In this virtual workshop, Sunny Megatron deconstructs the psychological elements of erotic humiliation with the goal of helping you figure out what flavor gets your juices flowing.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Negotiate consensual humiliation in your scenes & dynamics
  • Gauge intensity levels ranging from playful embarrassment to intense degradation
  • Keep the focus on emotional safety
  • Build humiliation scenes with positive outcomes in mind
  • Prepare for unintended missteps & triggers
  • Inject humor into your emotional play & more
  • You’ll also receive humiliation-specific & general kink negotiation tools you can use with partners or for self-discovery

NOTE: While there will be opportunities to participate in exercises & ask questions, it’s completely optional! Whether you choose to have your camera on, prefer to join with just your voice, engage in the text chat, or remain completely incognito is entirely up to you. My goal is to create a comfortable, inclusive environment that accommodates various learning styles & allows you to participate according to your comfort level. So, feel free to join in (or not) however you feel most at ease!

Closed captions are available for all Bloom virtual events.

This class WILL be recorded and available to view for 1 week. The class will be sent out the following day by 1pm EST.

A No B.S. Approach to Kink – BDSM Class (Online) @ Bloom Community App

Workshop description

Curious about kink? Or perhaps you’re an experienced lifestyler eager for new inspiration? No matter where you are on your kink journey, this class can help you explore your fantasies with confidence. But first, you’ll need to unlearn everything you thought you knew about BDSM…

In this virtual session, award-winning Clinical Sexologist & BDSM Educator, Sunny Megatron, outlines frameworks for custom-building kinky experiences that fit your specific needs & desires. She’ll also help you bypass the B.S. by debunking myths, “One Twue Wayisms,” and misleading stereotypes common within kink communities.

You’ll get an overview of BDSM elements (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadomasochism) plus tips for playing with intention and in ways that are identity-affirming & empowering. You’ll explore practical strategies for consent & ethics, healthy communication, identifying interests & limits, creative scene building, partner negotiation, cultivating playfulness, safety, navigating community, finding trustworthy educational resources, and more.

This isn’t your typical BDSM 101. While this class will give newcomers a solid introduction to kink basics, it’s also chock-full of valuable tools, strategies, and insights for people of all experience levels.

NOTE: There will be opportunities to participate in exercises & ask questions, but it’s completely optional! Whether you choose to have your camera on, prefer to join with just your voice, engage in the text chat, or remain completely incognito is entirely up to you. Sunny’s goal is to create a comfortable, inclusive environment that accommodates various learning styles & allows you to participate according to your comfort level.
