Hello kinksters - For those of you in the US, I wish you a good holiday weekend full of light, life, love, and liberty. I’m still recovering from two back-to-back weeks of very different Pride experiences. If you’d like my thoughts on a tale of two Prides, I recently wrote them up for my personal Substack. I am also very proud of some of the deep, meaningful explorations we have coming up for you, including two live daylong intensives in San Francisco and Oakland this coming weekend. Let’s...

Hello kinksters - I had a strange and interesting experience last week, tabling for Wicked Grounds at the first ever Mendocino County Pride in coastal Fort Bragg, California. The parade and festival was lovely, with a huge turnout (hundreds of people in a fairly small town), great music, heartfelt speeches, and so much resilience. I tabled among a mostly vanilla crowd, and allowed the folks who recognized our Leather Pride Flag branding to come to me. More than two-dozen times over the course...

Hello kinksters - I personally moderated our class on Pedi Pain last night, and learned a lot of great new material. I laughed, I winced, and you bet I took notes for my own creatively sadistic scenes! That’s the thing about the world of kink: no matter how long you’ve been around, there’s always something new to learn! I’ve been in the public kink scene for thirty years, but there is always a new idea, new technique, or different perspective that changes the way I see myself, my play, and my...

Hello kinksters - We talk about Pride Month, but I’m really getting into it this year! Last weekend, I attended Pride celebrations in my very rural northern California town. There were several bands, lots of helpful support and information, and my town’s first ever – totally packed!!! – drag celebration in our downtown movie theater. It was a very long day (and night), and I left feeling very grateful for it. I love the huge celebrations we have in San Francisco, but there is something very...

Hello kinksters - We had a full house at SpankLab! last night. It’s great to see people taking time to be creative, deepen their skills, and make new friends.

We are heading deeper into Pride month, and we have a lot of fun in-person and online classes for you over the coming weeks. Upcoming Intensives! We offer several...

Hi there! You're getting this because our email system thinks you're within a reasonable drive of the SF Bay Area! We have a LOT of in-person events coming up in San Francisco and Oakland, and I wanted to make sure you know where to find us. Most of our in-person events have been selling out hours or days before the event, so we always recommend getting space early if you can! You probably already know that our SF classes are just a small fraction of our total set of events. Find the full...
