Primal, unapologetic, and deliciously intimate.
A Valentine’s Day for those who prefer bruises over roses.
Mr Stockholm Syndrome of BDSM himself, we’ve invited Spot to lead a hands-on workshop diving deep into power exchange and impact play.
Working in pairs and trios, with active consent, negotiation, and attentive connection at the core, we’ll explore traditional BDSM techniques and the chemistry behind them.
Together we’ll dig into the art of control and sensation: sharp face slaps, the steady rhythm of a flogger, the sting of a cane, and the raw dominance of a bare hand.
This workshop focuses on power exchange, face slaps, flogging, and caning. We’ll explore how pain becomes power, presence, and a language of desire, one strike at a time.
Come curious, leave marked.
