On The Edge is offering “Give Me The Code,” an Intelligence Gathering Interrogation workshop with Ken Melvoin-Berg (@Kreamy) and Fetlife’s @Happy-Venom. These two gentlemen (well, always polite but not necessarily gentle!) are former Special Forces military folks (ok technically, Ken was only “elite,” not special) involved with interrogation or its aftercare.
Get ready to delve into extreme edge play, psychological play, pressure points, electric persuasion, water tortures and more!
Throughout the course of the evening Ken and Mr. Venom will address interrogation, confirmation and reward plus some of the extreme tactics the intelligence community uses to retrieve top secret information. They will also look at after effects including psychological aftercare, PTSD, Stockholm Syndrome, etc.
There will be much more information here than your typical BDSM Interrogation class– this is the real deal! To facilitate learning and bring together all of the elements discussed, they will conduct an intense live interrogation scene for the class.
Class will conclude with Q & A followed by open playtime at The Studio.

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. 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.
