Join former "cutter" turned self sadomasochist, Lady V, in redirecting that negative energy into something cathartic, fun, & potentially healing. --- Many engage in physical "self harm" as a psychosomatic outlet of release when they feel distressed or depressed with no outlet or validation. This class aims to instead redirect real physical self harm into using our tools of BDSM for temporary playful pain. Join former "cutter" turned self sadomasochist, Lady V, in redirecting that negative energy into something cathartic, fun, & potentially healing. What is ethical self harm vs self harm? Ethical self harm is a tool for self regulation without causing further emotional or physical distress. This includes not leaving permanent marks that could leave reminders of a time of distress. We'll give some ideas & structure around: Using toys & tools safely on yourself Laying down your own code of ethics & self boundaries Turning self harm into self love & play. Use of orgasms to flip moods & rewards DISCLAIMER: This is not a celebration of self harm, a form of or replacement for therapy or treatment. This is a mitigation of more dangerous methods or permanent forms of self harm, like cutting, in lieu of something that can be an emotional outlet or fun.

ONLINE: High Protocol for D/s

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Tue, Oct 27, 20266:00 PM – 8:00 PM💻 Online

You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation. --- Making rules, tasks, and ongoing protocol is one of the cornerstones of D/s dynamics. But it can be daunting to figure out where to start, how to create different structures of protocol for different spaces, and how to maintain the strict container. We’ll go over some tools that help make protocol easier to experiment with and implement, such as the cartography of control areas, the protocol game, and levels of protocol. Ultimately, protocol is all about creating adjustable, adaptable guidelines that feed the dynamic and enhance D/s headspace. You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation. PRESENTER: SINCLAIR SEXSMITH (they/them) is a queer trans butch, a leather dominant, and a writer, focusing on individual, interpersonal, and institutional systems of power. They study dominance and submission, social & restorative justice, the energetic body, trauma, and transformation. They have been in the kink communities since 1999, and orchestrate transformative kink scenes through written erotica and ritual practice. They actively explore the philosophies of power exchange and the practicalities of sustainable, long term D/s. As a leather community member, titleholder, and organizer, Sinclair has presented and performed 200+ times at 75+ venues, including International Ms. Leather, Dark Odyssey, SXSW, Harvard, and Oz Kink Fest.

Join us as we explore the shadowy realms of our fantasies and make-believe we can try on: abduction, torture, snuff, fantastical realms, and anything else our twisted minds can dream up. --- We have been “playing pretend” since we were young, but kinky sexuality opens up new and potentially taboo forms of roleplaying. Join us as we explore the shadowy realms of our fantasies and make-believe we can try on: abduction, torture, snuff, fantastical realms, and anything else our twisted minds can dream up.

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.

Online events — FAQ

What counts as an online event on Scene?

Any event a host marks as online (join from anywhere) or hybrid (happens at a venue and also streams). Both show up here so you can take part wherever you are.

How do I get the join link?

RSVP to the event. The join link and any access note (passcode, waiting-room note) are shared only after you RSVP — never in public — so links can't be scraped. Once you RSVP it also lands in your reminders and your calendar.

How do I host an online event?

Open the Post page, choose "Online" (or "Hybrid"), and add your join link and platform. Every submission is moderated before it goes live, and your link stays private until an attendee RSVPs.
