SUMMARY:Tongue and Mouth Torture with Carmen Monoxide
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nWe tend to think of our mouths in terms of what they can do to other people. However\, the plethora of nerve endings and variety of tissues and textures make the mouth just as wonderful a target for sadism as the breasts or genitals. You’ll learn oral anatomy\, bondage\, impact\, fear play\, medical/blood play\, and other creative forms of oral sadism in this class. We then combine the skills in a delightfully depraved mini-scene to help get your creative juices flowing! Please note: there will be an announcement before we transition into medical and blood play so those who prefer not to see that portion of the class may step away. We will also announce when that segment is ending so that anyone who has departed can return for the scene and Q&A! \nPresenter Bio\n\nA former teacher with a lifelong passion for the bizarre and filthy\, Carmen Monoxide (she/her) also works as a kink professional\, event organizer\, sex educator\, and relationship coach. She has presented for small\, medium\, and large events across North America. She founded Femme Fatale\, a kink event company\, and throws monthly parties in the Washington\, DC area. She sometimes takes her clothes off and performs onstage and on camera\, and is passionate about helping people overcome fear and shame in order to have authentic\, fulfilling\, sexy experiences. \n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org

SUMMARY:Disability Perspectives in Kink Panel Discussion with Lizzie
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nThis panel on disability perspectives in kink has the purpose of fostering understanding\, inclusivity\, and empowerment within the kink community. By providing a platform for dialogue\, education\, and sharing of experiences\, we are aiming to dismantle stigmas\, address misconceptions\, and advocate for the rights and needs of individuals with disabilities in kinky spaces. Through discussions on accessibility\, consent\, adaptation\, and pleasure\, we hope these kinds of panels promote a more inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can explore and express their desires authentically\, regardless of ability. \nThis panel discussion will not encompass all disabilities and experiences\, but is meant to help some folks start a dialogue and consider how going forward we can collectively normalize these conversations. \nTo better accommodate attendees and participants with a variety of disabilities\, we are asking that attendees wear masks. Panelists will be at least 10 feet away from the audience and may choose whether or not to wear masks to accommodate those deaf/hard of hearing. \nPresenter Bio\n\n@Skeleton_Bitch (they/he/she)\, aka Lizzie\, aka Picasso of Pain\, is a disabled\, genderfluid dominant/sadist/artist and one of the hosts of the monthly queer-centered play party\, @qinkdc. They have been participating in kink since 2006 and part of the DMV kink community since 2022. They have been navigating the nuances of being kinky while living with multiple chronic illnesses and being autistic with ADHD (AuDHD) and what that means for them as a dominant\, top\, and organizer. \n\n@Mr_Fox (they/he) is a queer\, neurodivergent & disabled\, polyamorous kinkster with experience as a Dom\, sub\, and primal player. Fox is passionate and nerdy about mental health education and advocacy\, community organizing\, and facilitating connection and growth. Fox is a proud co-founder of The Compound at Camp Social Club\, and the founder of Indecent Enterprises\, hosting monthly community & play events in the DC\, MD\, and VA area from 2012 to 2021. \n  \nAlex McGeorge (@texarcana) has been involved with BDSM in the Washington\, DC area for a truly boring amount of time. He currently is best known as co-organizer and event runner for The Crucible’s Dungeon 101. Alex has taught on spanking since 2012 through Dungeon 101 and other topics for events such as Black Rose\, FetFest\, MsC\, CLAW Getaway 2022 and internationally. When not enjoying the suffering of others Alex works on the offensive side of computer security for a cloud provider\, enjoys running around in nature and sometimes indulging in his compulsion to get into places he’s not supposed to be. \n  \nA former teacher with a lifelong passion for the bizarre and filthy\, @CarmenMonoxide (she/they) also works as a kink professional\, event organizer\, sex educator\, and relationship coach. She has presented for small\, medium\, and large events across North America. She founded Femme Fatale\, a kink event company\, and throws monthly parties in the Washington\, DC area.

The friend asks the husband if he knows where her erogenous zones are. The husband’s reply\, “Yes.

He has a flair for getting others hooked with his approachable\, engaging\, and always entertaining teaching style. Willow shares his infectious excitement through a wide variety of hands-on classes\, which you can see alongside his other shenanigans on Patreon and Fetlife: https://linktr.ee/TheWillowShow As a medical professional and professional pervert\, he can certainly say: one person’s torture\, is another person’s Tuesday! Whittney is a kinky polymath with over 30 years of exploring BDSM and teaching on a wide variety of kinky and non-kinky subjects.

SUMMARY:Blow Jobs 101 with MoProblems
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nFrom anniversary presents to strangers in airport bathrooms\, Blowjobs are a ubiquitous part of our sexual culture\, and frankly can be fun to give and receive\, but most of us never get any instruction on how to best suck dick\, or what to do with our hands.This class is intended to review the basics of providing or receiving fellatio\, and create a space for the sharing of best practices on how to pleasure partners with penises. \nWe’ll go over the art of giving a blowjob\, starting before anything is ever in a mouth to how to know if you’ve finished. As penis are as diverse as those of us who have them\, we’ll go over factors that can impact pleasure for both giver and receiver\, including basic anatomy of a penis.

All skill levels\, experiences\, and anatomies are welcome. \nPresenter Bio\n\nMo or @MoProblems (any/all) is a queer genderfluid kinkster entering a second year in the local DC scene.

SUMMARY:How Not To Become A Harm Doer with Savage
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nVery few harm doers set out to become one. Very few people expect someone they love or trust to be accused of harm. Yet communities seem to cycle through seasons of harm\, call out\, and silence\, often surprised and resistant to acknowledge when someone they or someone they care for are accused. If the harm doer is not me\, then how can I keep my community safe? If I could be a harm doer\, how do I know and what can I do to prevent it? Taken from the perspective of shame resilience research and human social group behavior\, this workshop will explore personal\, small group\, and community accountability approaches to understand harm as a behavior and interrupt cycles of harm before they become patterns and identity. \nPresenter Bio\n\nSavage (any pronouns) queermudgeon\, delightworker\, pleasure activist and Good Trouble. Savage is an embodiment specialist\, game designer\, storyteller\,and neurodivergent third culture nomad. They aspire to be a NPC Quest Giver\, but often find themselves dragged along on adventures\, or doing witchy cryptid things in the woods. Savage’s default world background in social work\, public health\, data design and systems transformation inform a habit of creating collaborative classes designed to teach complex concepts with fun and play. A decade plus in kink\, alt sex\, queer and spiritual communities blend with a science-minded approach to all the nerdy passions available\, though the breadth of topics can be overwhelming even to them\, such as teaching mindful deepthroat practices one day and ethics for private practice clinicians the next. Savage’s certifications in somatic bodywork approaches (somatic experiencing) and psychedelic-assisted interventions are part of a life of curiosity that somehow also finds time for cuddles\, inspiring erotica\, writing\, making weird art\, singing with gusto\, and tending the gardens of their friendships and communities. \n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org
