BDSM Basics

Learn the fundamentals, build confidence, play safer.

This class covers the core things worth knowing before engaging in any BDSM-style play, whether it’s a first step or a reset to do it better.

This is education-first, consent-first, and built for couples and individuals who want clarity, not confusion.

What You’ll Learn, The Essentials

  • How consent works in BDSM, enthusiastic, ongoing, and specific
  • Negotiation basics, limits, boundaries, and expectations
  • Safewords, check-ins, and what “good communication” actually sounds like
  • Safety fundamentals, risk awareness, and common rookie mistakes
  • Aftercare, what it is, why it matters, and how to talk about it
  • How to start simple, stay grounded, and build trust over time

Who It’s For

  • Curious beginners who want a solid foundation
  • Couples who want a shared language for exploring
  • Individuals who want to feel confident, informed, and in control of their choices

Location: The Shop Social Lounge

Note: Spots are limited. Pre-registration recommended.
