ONLINE: Trans Awareness & Playing With Trans* Folks

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Let’s get thoughtful, get embodied, and open our hearts as we rethink what gender and hot play can be. --- There are so many words for gender, sex, and sexuality these days, and it can feel confusing - or even emotional - when we’re unsure how to talk with our trans, nonbinary, or non-trans partners about desire. Together, we’ll build skills for richer, more connected kink, play, and sexual exploration across gender-diverse experiences. This class will explore language, disclosure, desire, conversations worth having, and the vibrant mix of identity and expression that shapes how we meet one another. We’ll examine the myths and truths we carry about gender, what we want to do with our bodies, and how to play with partners who are navigating their own unfolding paths. Because truly, every one of us is on a gender journey - so let’s get thoughtful, get embodied, and open our hearts as we rethink what gender and hot play can be. PRESENTER: Lee Harrington is an internationally known spiritual and erotic authenticity educator, gender explorer, eclectic artist and award-winning author and editor on erotic and sacred experience. He’s been traveling the globe teaching and talking about sexuality, psychology, faith and desire, and believes you deserve passion and connection in your life.

Lee has been a passion instigator, academic, adult film performer, world class sexual adventurer, outspoken philosopher, polytheist priest/ess, kink/bondage expert, and has been blogging about sex and spirit since 1998.

ONLINE: Ass to Grass: Fitness as a Tool of Domination

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

This class explores how to integrate fitness principles with kink play. --- Fitness is a multi-layered practice with benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics, and in many ways, kink operates the same way. Both can be tools for healing, transformation, power exchange, and sensual exploration. The body’s responses to movement, pleasure, strain, endorphins, and challenge can be intentionally woven into kink to build richer, more connected scenes or even empower a thriving 24/7 D/s dynamic. This class explores how to integrate fitness principles with kink play. We will use the gym, free weights, bodyweight training, conditioning, and mobility work to prepare both doms and subs to experience kink through a heightened physical, emotional, and erotic lens. PRESENTER: MF Dom: Dominant | Educator | 8 Years Experience Dominance is more than control; it’s an experience in trust. How do we set up a scene that allows the sub to trust you with whatever will happen next? How do we create and acknowledge boundaries and ensure they will be respected so that within them you both can revel in the pleasure of suspense, pain, and tension? With eight years of practice in BDSM, MF Dom brings a grounded, intentional approach to power exchange that gets you both there by balancing intensity with care. MF Dom specializes in impact play, wax play, electro play, and aftercare. He guides partners and students through the physical and emotional rhythms of trust, sensation, and release. His demonstrations and lessons emphasize safety, consent, and connection, inviting others to explore the power of awareness and touch. Whether leading a workshop or curating a scene, MF Dom’s presence reminds participants that true dominance isn’t about taking, it’s about both partners giving each other a mind-blowing experience built with trust and respect.

ONLINE: Hoe With Purpose: Erotic Strategy for the Emotionally Unavailable & Sensually Aware

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

This class is for aromantic folks, casual players, and intentional pleasure-seekers who want a system for their erotic life, not just vibes. --- You're not chaotic. You just don't want what everyone assumes you want and nobody's teaching you how to build the erotic life you're actually after. The entire world is set up to push you toward romance: the apps, the communities, the conversations, the expectations. If you're aromantic, done with situationships, or just clear that you want pleasure without the relationship, there's almost no framework built for you. So you improvise. And improvising leads to drama, confusion, and connections that cost more than they were worth. This class is for aromantic folks, casual players, and intentional pleasure-seekers who want a system for their erotic life, not just vibes. IN THIS CLASS YOU WILL: • Name and understand amatonormativity; the cultural pressure to make romance the goal, and why opting out is a design choice, not a flaw • Learn how to reframe casual sex as ethical and strategic, not careless • Use the Return on Intimacy framework to decide where your erotic energy is actually worth spending • Build and audit a rotation that stays clean of entanglement and drama • Practice scripts for navigating casual kink conversations with clarity and confidence • Get tools for handling ghosting, rejection, and NRE without losing your footing An intentional erotic life is possible. This class shows you how to build one. PRESENTER: Sarai311 (any/all) is a BIPOC kink educator, poet, and event organizer with a decade of experience across classroom and community learning spaces. She brings eight years of formal teaching and three years of active kink engagement into her work, blending curriculum design, emotionally grounded facilitation, and embodied pedagogy. A doctoral candidate, her research on identity development and culturally relevant pedagogy directly informs her kink education practice. Within the kink community, she has served as a Dungeon Monitor, demo bottom, and board member for Whippersnappers TNG, and is the founder and lead organizer of BIPOC at Frolicon. She presents across the Southeast at events including Frolicon, Southeast Leatherfest, and Dark Odyssey, and has been published thrice in Black Leather in Color Magazine. Sarai311 is also the author of 'What We Could Never Be' and 'Unholy Attachments', and is known for creating spaces where kink, identity, and intentional self-exploration can safely coexist.
