Tuesday, May 5Online: Have you been considering starting a munch or discussion group, but you’re not quite sure where to start?

We only offer this class about once per year, so attend live or through the recording with your advanced tickets from Forbidden Tickets or Plura to get in on it! Online: Are you between partners? Are your partners long-distance? Or maybe you just want to introduce more kink to your solo play. You don’t need a local partner to engage in the thrills and pleasure of S/M, but you might find that some techniques and strategies work better than others.
