ONLINE: Hypnokink 101

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sat, Nov 7, 20262:00 PM – 4:00 PM💻 Online

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. Hypnosis can be entirely non-sexual and Safe For Work, while also resulting in euphoric levels of pleasure. If this tantalizes you, allow me to introduce you to the beauty that is hypnokink! In this class, we’ll discuss basic hypnosis practices and how they can benefit you, while exploring specifics about how we can interact with hypnokink from any position or role without compromising boundaries or comfort levels. The class is open to all, so if you or a loved one is curious about hypnosis or just want to explore something new, please come join us! PRESENTER: Faun (he/him) is a smut writer and kink educator from the Pacific Northwest. Despite knowing he was firmly on the ace spectrum in his teenage years, he always felt that something was missing. One day, he stumbled upon a website chock full of hypnokinky stories, and the rest is history. Now, he hopes to help others find their own niche in the kink community by sharing what he’s learned through study and experience. You can find him on AO3 and tumblr as spiraledfaun, and on Fet as deerfaun. TICKETING: $20 - $40 in advance.

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. TICKETING: Tickets: $20 - $50 in advance, or $30 - $60 at the door. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/ea01218044 The regular ticket is $30 in advance or $40 at the door. This is what most people should pay. We offer multiple price points, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance.
