ONLINE: Kink, Trauma Play, and Healing: A Research-Informed Deep Dive

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sat, Oct 31, 202611:00 AM – 1:00 PM💻 Online

This class brings together community insight and current research tidbits to offer a clearer picture of the patterns, mechanics, and meanings people often find in trauma play. --- If you have engaged in trauma play in kink, this class gives you a straightforward way to understand what was happening. Many kink practitioners who work with traumatic experiences through kink recognize the territory but often lack the language to describe it. Some leave a scene feeling steadier, while others feel more shaken, largely because no one ever taught them how to name the processes they just went through. People have been working through difficult emotions in kink for a long time, and research is only now beginning to catch up. This class brings together community insight and current research tidbits to offer a clearer picture of the patterns, mechanics, and meanings people often find in trauma play. Without idealizing or pathologizing the practice, it provides a space to look closely at something many people know intimately and want to finally understand. Join us for a kinky deep-dive, with plenty of time for questions and chit-chat! PRESENTER: Aidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist, educator, researcher, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware, grounded in inclusive practices, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience, creating spaces where community voices are centered, respected, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research, he has developed and led community education programs on kink, consent, trauma awareness, and ethical non-monogamy. At the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. TICKETING: $30 suggested. We offer several price points, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/8aab075396 Patreon members at the VIP+ level may get discounted tickets for $10.

ONLINE: Consent, Accountability, and Neurodivergence: A Two Part Series

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sun, Nov 1, 202611:00 AM – 1:00 PM💻 Online

How does Neurodivergence affect boundaries, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two), and accountability? In this participatory two part workshop, we will dive into these questions with case studies and real-life examples. --- How does neurodivergence affect consent – including mistakes, incidents, and violations? How does it affect boundaries, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two), and accountability at the personal, interpersonal, and community levels? In this participatory two part workshop, we will dive into these questions with case studies and real-life examples. We’ll look through a trauma- and disability justice-informed lens, and talk about common patterns, subjective interpretations, ascriptions, and communication-based on neurotypes, socialization, and lived experience. We will make space for embodied activities and create plenty of room for community members to share their experiences. PRESENTER: Adam is a community organizer, mediator, conflict transformation facilitator, kink and consent educator, and ongoing learner. Their passions lie at the intersections of disability justice, neurodivergence accessibility, trauma-informed care, consent, embodied somatics, harm reduction, and systems transformation. They desire to help people relate in safer, skillful ways that are trauma-, power-, and risk-informed. Adam has been an educator with several groups including The Consent Academy, advocating for consent from the individual level to the systemic. They do consent and accountability work in many contexts and community spaces, from organizing spaces to the sex+ world. Adam sees this work as intersectional, directly connected to the better, more liberatory world they want to live in. TICKETING: $60 suggested.

Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Nov 1–Dec 14, 20266:00 PM – 9:00 PM💻 Online

The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires? This six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). About Miriam Green Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over twenty years in the Austin, Houston, and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community, BDSM negotiations, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds, San Francisco's leader in BDSM education and community building. How we'll engage The six week course will run live from November 1 - December 14, 2026. This class will include six total weeks of content and homework, three 90-minute live online group sessions on Monday evenings (all recorded for later participation if needed), and at least one half-hour individual consult with instructor Miriam Green. (Our class tiers include the option to add more consulting for your own journey.) Our three 90-minute live group sessions will be offered via Zoom on Monday, November 2; Monday, November 23; and Monday, December 7 - all at 6pm Pacific time. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing or for those who cannot attend the sessions live. Is this course for you? Do you get stuck when asked "what do you want in intimate relationships?" Are you uncomfortable telling partners about your desires and kinks? Have you been doing the same thing for a long time and want to find new routes to eroticism? Do you want a deep understanding of the physical and psychological responses you have to kink? Do you want to connect deeply with others? Then yes: this course is for you!

Welcome to Bound NYC... A rope bondage party for queer men who want more than just a practice space. BOUND NYC is a rope bondage party for queer men who want more than just practice space. This is a room where bondage through rope is at the center, full scenes are encouraged, and play can extend into impact, sensation, bondage, and other forms of consensual exploration. Whether you come with a partner or attend solo, BOUND offers a warm, social, erotic, and play-minded environment for men who want to tie, connect, negotiate, and engage. This is not a class-based event. Light peer guidance and basic instruction may happen naturallyin the room, but the focus is on self-led play and scenes. Pick-up play is welcome, with attendees expected to negotiate for themselves. The Kink Collective’s MITPISA negotiation forms will be available to support clearer pre-scene communication and pickup play negotiation. What to Expect 7:00 PM | Doors Open Arrive, settle in, connect, warm-up... Tie casually, if you'd like. 8:00 PM | Rules & Consent Agreements We gather briefly to review the rules, agreements and flow of the night. 8:15 PM | Rope and Scenes Open Once the room opens, attendees are free to tie, negotiate, play, and explore at their own pace. The Vibe • A warm, social, rope-forward atmosphere • Energetic beats and lighting set to support the room • Space for floor rope, with mats available • 2 suspension points and 1 suspension rig • Furnished with a St. Andrew’s Cross, spanking benches, tieable benches, and floor beds What to Bring Rope & Safety shears, implements, toys, gear, or comfort items you plan to use. A shareable snack or drink is always welcome at the communal snack table Alcohol is welcome in moderation only. No drugs.

Get to know the kink that is limited only by your imagination, hypnosis! --- Requiring no physical interaction or any equipment aside from your very own mind, hypnokink is highly accessible, tailored especially to your desires, and can be done solo or partnered.

SF: Electro Play from the Bottom

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sat, Nov 7, 20263:00 PM – 5:00 PM🇺🇸 Trellis, San Francisco, CA · Rambling Rose conference room

"Electro Play from the Bottom" is an exploration of the wide variety of sensations and pain that can be inflicted using electricity. The instructor, pangressive (he/they), will be bottoming, assisted by demo top Addy (she/her). pangressive will explain the similarities and differences of a wide range of electro toys, and will describe what they feel like. He will endure a violet wand, zappers, cattle prod, flyswatter, shock collars (not applied to the neck), a TENS unit, and a hand-crank magneto generator box that he built himself out of a WWII field telephone. If he's still verbal after all that torture, he will share some data and home science investigations on the effect of electric current on human body resistance and the changes in pain perception that correlate with changes in body resistance. PRESENTER: pangressive (he/they), a bottom-leaning switch, is the host of Current Events, the Bay Area's electro munch. They are also the host of BABKA (Bay Area Bi/Pan Kinky Alliance) and co-host of P6 (Partially Prenegotiated Pansexual Prison Play Party), a private group that produces group CNC/free use scenes. pangressive has been in the kink scene since 2001, when he walked into Seattle's storied former dungeon club The Wet Spot and said he wanted to get beaten up. They have played in the Seattle, Boston/New England, and Bay Area scenes, with some experience in the D.C. scene as well. His scene experience includes both pansexual and gay male spaces. pangressive enjoys tight bondage of all kinds, impact, clips and clamps, hot wax, and occasional sexual content in scenes in addition to electro. They are excited to present an intro to electro play from the bottom's perspective, assisted by well-respected kinkster and experienced presenter Addy (she/her) as demo top.

FAUCET: A Party for Piss Pigs

Hosted by NYC Inferno

Sun, Nov 8, 20264:00 PM – 9:00 PM🇺🇸 Pickles Playground, New York, NY

FREE PISS PLAY 101 CLASS from 2:30 - 3:30PM taught by Adam $35 Cash (includes beverages, clothes check, towel, shower access) Location (for both party and class) 210 5th Ave, Park Slope, Brooklyn (Private Address) Bring ID. RSVP (not required) : partiful.com/e/ih87qdx5QakWZWf2OKqZ No Dress Code: Wear as little or as much as you want. Please DON’T wear cologne, fragrances or deodorant. Wear shoes or footwear you don’t mind getting soaked in piss. Reduced List Available, email nycinferno@gmail.com Each month, the world’s sexiest piss pigs regularly travel to Brooklyn from places as far away as London, Phoenix, Seattle, Berlin or the Bronx. Why? Because they know FAUCET is the wettest, wildest, friendliest and piggiest piss party on the East Coast. Over 100 thirsty players show up at Pickles' Playground on the first Sunday of the month. They come from all levels of experience, but they usually leave very happy, telling us that they've never been to a party like it, that they did something they've always wanted to try but were afraid to, like getting drenched in a piss pool, drinking from the tap, or getting pissed on in a sling! They always say they'll be back, and return they always do! So what's keeping you from joining us at one of FAUCET's upcoming Fall Piss Parties on Sundays November 8th, December 6th, or January 3? New to piss play or piss parties? Join our FREE-PRE-PEE-PARTY Piss Play 101 class! Show up at 2:30 PM to learn the ins, outs, tops and bottoms of golden showers, and meet other newcomers and prospective guests, in a friendly, laid-back, no-pressure environment. Seriously, this is a great party for first-timers and the curious voyeur who loves to watch piss videos at home... but really wants to see it in person... Once the party starts at 4 PM, we’ll be offering free beverages (or BYOB—no glass bottles, please!) and snacks… plus any liquid refreshment your fellow guests might have on tap! REDUCED $25 admission for Queer, Trans, POC folks or others in need of reduced admission. Email nycinferno@gmail.com to get on the list. You don’t need to explain why you need it, just email so we get a sense of how many people need reduced. Guests with motion disabilities: please note that the party space is sadly not accessible. Flyer by Brian Raudenbush FAUCET PRACTICES CONSENT! Ask for consent before touching somebody, and if they say “no thanks” or don’t respond enthusiastically, move on. If someone you’re watching asks for privacy, respect that. If you aren’t finding what you are looking for, just be kind and keep mingling, and you’ll surely find someone else into your scene. Nudity does NOT equal consent, and consent can be withdrawn at any time. Please DON’T BUTT INTO other SCENES in PROGRESS. RESPECT! Party staff keeping an eye on the space will enforce a policy of zero tolerance for anyone who disrespects a guest for their race, gender, disability, size, age, appearance, gender, genitals, kinks, for using condoms, for not using condoms, for being thirsty, for being shy, for being naked, for wearing “too much,” for wearing the “wrong” thing, or for who they are in any other capacity. ACCOUNTABILITY! If you feel someone is violating your boundaries, being too aggressive, or threatening your safety in any way, please find Adam, Pickles, or one of our staff immediately, and we will remove them from the party. FINALLY: Thanks for reading this far. You’re so sexy! Have a great time. WHAT IS FAUCET? ANSWERS TO FAQS FAUCET is NYC INFERNO’s monthly piss play-centered party for folks of every level of experience. Faucet parties take place in the same space as NYC INFERNO, a basement sex club with a cruising maze, multiple rooms, public and semi-private spaces for play; a social area for drinks, conversation and connection; and three piss tubs for folks who like to get pissed on. You have the whole club to get wet in, no areas are restricted except clothes check and the bathroom/clean up area. There is a shower and we provide towels for you to use post-shower where you can clean up/rinse off. We also provide a fridge of free beer and a bar with non-alcoholic selections - soda, juice - and snacks. As with NYC INFERNO, FAUCET is as social as it is sexual. Folks usually enter the party, have something to drink, socialize in our main room, before venturing off into our front room or back room, or into the maze, to make connections. Queer and trans kinksters are welcome and have been coming to the party since the beginning, though the party usually attracts a majority cis-gay crowd. Most guests tend to arrive between 4 and 5:30PM, many tanked up and ready to piss. FAUCET is a kink-positive party: wear whatever makes you feel sexy: rubber, pup hoods, jockstraps, thongs, or go naked! Do you like to wear clothes and get pissed on in them? That’s fine too. Voyeurs are also welcome. If it turns you on to watch, please do so, at a respectful distance, and

ONLINE: Building Confidence in the Bedroom: Own Your Energy

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sun, Nov 22, 202611:00 AM – 1:00 PM💻 Online

Step into your full power. --- There is a moment when everything shifts, when you stop worrying about being perceived and instead start taking control of the energy of the room. This class is about stepping into that moment and stepping into your full power. Through guided exercises, intentional movement, and a little bit of acting technique and sex magic, you will learn how to drop into your body and move without hesitation or nerves. In this class, we will explore the power of eye contact, stillness, silence, and drawing your partner or partners’ focus to you, as well as how to get out of your head and stay fully present. We will cover using your voice and subtle cues to build tension and connection, as well as how to let go of any self-consciousness as you step into your sexiest self. This class isn’t about scripts or perfection but instead about awareness, control, and owning your desires. No rushing. No second-guessing. Just you, fully present and completely in control of the energy you bring. PRESENTER: Dolly Diatima is an Iranian American professional dominatrix, writer, fetish model, and lifestyle kinkster. As a neurodivergent and multi ethnic pro domme, they offer a unique perspective into kink and sexuality which they work to bring into their sessions as a domme as well as into her writings and classes. Dolly’s educational background in philosophy and prior experience in the professional realm of acting and performance art also deeply inform her work as an educator. Philosophy gives her the tools to examine the ideas, assumptions, and power structures underlying sexuality and human behavior, while performance has taught her to think about embodiment, communication, identity, and the ways we construct and inhabit different selves. She is also an emerging writer with a recent publication exploring kink and cultural identity. In Dolly’s free time, she enjoys writing essays about desire for her Substack, watching extreme horror films, reading classic literature and collecting vintage fashion. She resides in the San Francisco Bay Area with their big beautiful tuxedo cat, Ligeia. You can learn more about Dolly and read her writing on her website: DollyDiatima.com TICKETING: https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/e5b08b30eb $30 suggested; $20 and $40 alternative price points.

ONLINE: Trickster at the Crossroads: Myth and Mischief in Kinky Roleplay

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Tue, Dec 8, 20262:00 PM – 4:00 PM💻 Online

In this two-hour interactive workshop, we will explore how Trickster archetypes can inspire kink, erotic storytelling, and roleplay. --- What might your desires reveal when you invite the sacred troublemaker into your kink practice? Across mythology, Tricksters steal from the powerful, cross forbidden boundaries, change shape, speak dangerous truths, and lure others into bargains whose meanings are never quite what they seem. They disrupt the ordinary world—and create openings for transformation, freedom, pleasure, and possibility. In this two-hour interactive workshop, we will explore how Trickster archetypes can inspire kink, erotic storytelling, and roleplay. Through mythology, guided reflection, and collaborative scene-building, participants will discover their own styles of erotic mischief and experiment with tools such as temptation, riddles, wagers, shapeshifting, secret identities, playful rule-breaking, power reversals, and negotiated surprise. We will also examine the ethics of Trickster play. How can we create the feeling of unpredictability without compromising informed consent? What is the difference between a fictional betrayal and a real one? How do we negotiate games in which characters lie, rules appear to change, or power is not where it first seems to be? Participants will learn how to create a clear container for improvisation so that the story may be chaotic while the players remain cared for. Come prepared to meet the thief, tempter, fool, shapeshifter, riddler, or beautiful saboteur within you. You will leave with a personalized Trickster archetype, a framework for negotiating consensual mischief, and the beginnings of an original roleplay or kink scene. No prior kink, mythology, or roleplaying experience is required. PRESENTER: Lila Hades (she/they) is a queer, neurodivergent word witch & author; trauma-informed conflict resolution practitioner; BDSM & kink educator; and astrologer who founded The Unconventional Plutonian (also known as UP). UP's mission is to empower and inspire courageous personal & communal transformation through a radical and queer lens. Rooted in astrology, storytelling and the mythic imagination, BDSM and kink exploration, and conflict resolution practices, UP designs events, kink coaching, and classes as containers for embodiment, consent, and liberatory self-expression.

Hosted by NYC Kink Link

Dec 12–13, 20268:00 PM – 1:00 AM🇺🇸 New York, NY

Welcome to Diaper Debauchery... This is a party where you can show up exactly as you are—diapered, kinky, and free. About This Event Diaper Debauchery is a kinky queer diaper community night where you can show up exactly as you are — diapered, curious, kinky, and playful. Hosted as part of The Sanctuary Sessions, this is a queer-friendly space where ABDL and kink can coexist without judgment. It is a place for diapered expression, kinky exploration, and real community, with consent at the center of it all. The night may include diaper play, impact, bondage, group play, insertables, voyeurism, cuddling, and aftercare. Some nights are more social, some more playful, and some more erotic, but the purpose stays the same: to give people space to express their kinks with their diapers in a room built on openness, respect, and freedom. While this is not a sex party, consensual erotic play may naturally unfold. Nothing is assumed, no one is owed access, and watching does not equal participation. What to expect  8:00 PM | Doors Open The room begins organically. People often start socializing, exploring, and connecting soon after arrival. 9:00PM Brief check in & Rules Once the room has settled, we pause briefly to go over house rules.

KrINKles - Diaper Debauchery | A diapers and kink play party for diapered expression, connection, and play.

Hosted by The Kink Collective

Jan 9–10, 20278:00 PM – 1:00 AM🇺🇸 New York, NY

Welcome to Diaper Debauchery... This is a party where you can show up exactly as you are—diapered, kinky, and free. About This Event Diaper Debauchery is a kinky queer diaper community night where you can show up exactly as you are — diapered, curious, kinky, and playful. Hosted as part of The Sanctuary Sessions, this is a queer-friendly space where ABDL and kink can coexist without judgment. It is a place for diapered expression, kinky exploration, and real community, with consent at the center of it all. The night may include diaper play, impact, bondage, group play, insertables, voyeurism, cuddling, and aftercare. Some nights are more social, some more playful, and some more erotic, but the purpose stays the same: to give people space to express their kinks with their diapers in a room built on openness, respect, and freedom. While this is not a sex party, consensual erotic play may naturally unfold. Nothing is assumed, no one is owed access, and watching does not equal participation. What to expect  8:00 PM | Doors Open The room begins organically. People often start socializing, exploring, and connecting soon after arrival. 9:00PM Brief check in & Rules Once the room has settled, we pause briefly to go over house rules. Then the party continues naturally and the rest of the night is open for connection, play, exploration, and expression at your own pace. 1AM Party Ends The Vibe  • Separate social, cuddle, and play areas • Soft lighting and immersive music to support the energy, mood, and pacing of the room. • Furnished stations for impact, restraint, and intimate exploration (St. Andrew’s Cross, spanking benches, sex bench, and more) What to Bring Implements, toys, gear, or comfort items you plan to use. Diapers, outfits, buzzes, and more A shareable snack or drink is always welcome at the communal snack table Alcohol is welcome in moderation only. No drugs.

KrINKles - Diaper Debauchery | A diapers and kink play party for diapered expression, connection, and play.

Hosted by The Kink Collective

Feb 13–14, 20278:00 PM – 1:00 AM🇺🇸 The Sanctuary of East Harlem, New York, NY

Welcome to Diaper Debauchery... This is a party where you can show up exactly as you are—diapered, kinky, and free. About This Event Diaper Debauchery is a kinky queer diaper community night where you can show up exactly as you are — diapered, curious, kinky, and playful. Hosted as part of The Sanctuary Sessions, this is a queer-friendly space where ABDL and kink can coexist without judgment. It is a place for diapered expression, kinky exploration, and real community, with consent at the center of it all. The night may include diaper play, impact, bondage, group play, insertables, voyeurism, cuddling, and aftercare. Some nights are more social, some more playful, and some more erotic, but the purpose stays the same: to give people space to express their kinks with their diapers in a room built on openness, respect, and freedom. While this is not a sex party, consensual erotic play may naturally unfold. Nothing is assumed, no one is owed access, and watching does not equal participation. What to expect  8:00 PM | Doors Open The room begins organically. People often start socializing, exploring, and connecting soon after arrival. 9:00PM Brief check in & Rules Once the room has settled, we pause briefly to go over house rules. Then the party continues naturally and the rest of the night is open for connection, play, exploration, and expression at your own pace. 1AM Party Ends The Vibe  • Separate social, cuddle, and play areas • Soft lighting and immersive music to support the energy, mood, and pacing of the room. • Furnished stations for impact, restraint, and intimate exploration (St. Andrew’s Cross, spanking benches, sex bench, and more) What to Bring Implements, toys, gear, or comfort items you plan to use. Diapers, outfits, buzzes, and more A shareable snack or drink is always welcome at the communal snack table Alcohol is welcome in moderation only. No drugs. Your Facilitator 🤸🏼‍♂️ This container is guided by Dan, a seasoned member of The Kink Collective known for creating relaxed, welcoming spaces for queer erotic play. Dan emphasizes safety, consent, and connection while making room for a wide range of expression.
