Class Description:

Curious about BDSM and want to know more? Maybe you've always wanted to come to a dungeon but have been too shy? Want to learn more about your sexual power as a domme, switch or sub? Come join us at class!

Join the HBIC, Mistress Justine Cross for an introduction to BDSM that focuses on safe, sane, consensual play and sexual exploration, for all skill levels. The skills shat she will be sharing can be applied to all relationships, "kinky" or "vanilla," and will help us all find ways to explore and discuss desire, fetish, and sexual interests in an open manner. There will also be plenty of Q and A time when you can ask all the kinky questions you can think of. All classes are 18+.

We will cover:

• What BDSM is and is not
• Consent
• How to Negotiate a Scene
• What happens before, during and after a scene
• Explore the dungeon - what is this equipment and what are all these toys?
• Resources and local events
