Curious about adding BDSM to your life? Let's make 2026 the year you embark on your kinky journey!

Kink and BDSM can seem so daunting when you are new. So many words, activities, and outfits that inspire feelings of arousal, shame, and burning curiosity. It can be difficult to know where to begin.

1. How do you communicate your interests when you aren't quite sure what they are?
2. How can you properly negotiate your interests with a partner?
3. How do you create a scene?
4. How will I know if I'm doing it right? Or wrong!
5. Do I have to like pain?
6. What is the protocol for...

Princessa Natasha Strange has been a professional kinkster for 31 years and still remembers vividly the fear and confusion of getting involved in the kink scene. It all felt so exotic and complicated. But it really doesn't have to be! There are basic steps to take in learning about kink, that will help you moving forward, no matter where in the kinky world you want to end up.

Natasha will answer some of the most common questions, guide attendees through some useful communication tools, and make sure there is ample time for Q&A. This class will be loosely modeled after Kink for the Curious, a kinky education and activity book written by Natasha. Copies will be available for purchase.
