SUMMARY:Anxiety and Kink: Navigating Community\, Scenes\, and Relationships with AJ Renard
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nMany people struggle with anxiety— from nagging\, anxious thoughts to full-blown panic attacks\, and sometimes it feels like it can pop up out of nowhere. This class delves into how to navigate kink (whether it be events\, play\, or a power exchange dynamic) with anxiety. We will discuss how it might show up or be triggered within certain situations\, as well as strategies for handling those scenarios\, ways PE dynamics can help create structure to manage anxiety\, and grounding tricks you can use anywhere. \nPresenter Bio\nAJ Renard (she/her) has been involved in the BDSM world her entire adult life\, although she was a dark little thing far before that. AJ is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and has a deep passion for teaching about the intersection of BDSM and mental health. She finds her happy place when there is rope\, electricity\, knives\, boots\, fear\, and a lot of crying involved. \nAJ teaches a variety of classes about consent\, negotiations\, perspectives on D/s\, bottoming for intense scenes and edgeplay\, mental health and BDSM\, and behavioral science in PE dynamics. Additionally she often teaches about BDSM in non-kink spaces\, hoping to de-stigmatize kink for therapists and medical professionals. She also loves demo bottoming for Violet Wand demos\, and things that make her shy in front of groups of people. \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:Learning to love latex with Iana and Shutterdoll
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nSince the 19th century the allure of the look and feel of latex has been captivating fetishists and fashionistas around the world. Latex is used in everything from dark fetish porn to high class outfits on the red carpet. It is a material that has a unique look and feel that appeals to people for many reasons.\nCome visit us while we discuss everything shiny. In this class we will cover why people are interested in latex and rubber. How to play with it and look good in regardless of gender expression or body type. Discuss different kinds of latex and gear. Give tips on where to find pieces. And information on cleaning and maintenance. If you have been wearing it for years or are just curious where all of the interest comes from this class should cover all aspects of the fashion. \nAllergy note: There will be people wearing latex\, please be aware of this if you do have a severe allergy to it. \nPresenter Bio\nTom has been around the DC kink community for over 20 years. He is a Black Rose Emeritus Board Member\, Crucible manager\, and event photographer. You will just as likely find him working behind a desk as you will find him lovingly hurting friends. He was born and raised in the Northern VA area and currently lives with his wonderful wife\, multiple kittens and an older pupper. Always there is far too much to do and too little time to do it. \nHumiliation and power exchange were the catalysts which got him into the BDSM community in the first place. From some very confusing teen years\, into realizing he greatly wanted to actually engage in this kind of thing\, it was always there as part of what he wanted to do. Tom loves to put on his ‘helpful’ hat and give useful or “useful” ideas to those that want to play with these sorts of things. \nHis other passion is photography. If there is a camera allowed\, you will almost always find Tom behind the lens. Going by the name ShutterDoll\, he loves to be able to capture a moment\, a memory\, or just an excellent whip strike. \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:Genderfuckery - Gender that Fucks! with Alixander
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nWe express our genders (or lack thereof) in many ways. However\, it can feel dysphoric when our inner vision of our gender expression feels incongruous with our outer physical execution. This class is intended to help you get in touch with your body\, and explore ways to bring your physicality more in line with the way you want to express your gender. We will be discussing how society’s expectations of gender expression play a role in how one’s physicality is perceived\, and how someone can use these often restrictive expectations to their advantage when trying to match their physicality to their gender presentation. This class is a combination of discussion and accessible exercises\, and designed to be a safer space to explore and have fun with your body and gender expression. \nPresenter Bio\nDevious & Delightful\, Vibrant & Violent. Alixzander is a sadomasochistic switch\, with a penchant for the dark\, wild\, and insane. They enjoy sensory deprivation\, putting cocks in their mouth\, needles to the head\, having fun things put in them\, electrocuting boys\, and much much more. \nAlixzander is one of the hosts of Queer Identifying n Kinky (QINK) and Crucible Rendezvous\, which are monthly parties held at The Crucible. They are the former Education Director of Black Rose\, and is currently on staff for Camp Crucible\, Cruciblecon\, Fornucopia\, Femme Fatale Co.\, LOBO\, TES Fest\, and CLAW. \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.

SUMMARY:Brats Versus Cunts with ChaoticElle
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nBrattiness can add a spark of playful resistance to BDSM dynamics\, but where’s the line between being a fun brat and crossing into unpleasant or disrespectful behavior? This class dives into the art of consensual brattiness\, exploring how to communicate boundaries\, maintain respect\, and avoid disruptive actions that undermine trust. We’ll also tackle the stigma surrounding brats\, celebrating their unique role in kink dynamics and how they can enhance connection and creativity in play. Whether you’re a brat\, a brat-tamer\, or just curious about incorporating this dynamic\, this session will help you embrace the fun while fostering respect and consent. \nPresenter Bio\nChaotic Elle (she/they) is the founder of The SexEd We Missed\, where they offer inclusive pleasure-focused sex education through 1:1 coaching\, workshops\, and community learning spaces. Elle holds a Master’s degree in Sexual Health and brings years of experience teaching both vanilla and kink-focused content. They’ve led sessions at kink camps\, consulted with sexual health nonprofits across the globe\, and trained medical professionals on how to have better conversations about sex. Their teaching blends evidence-based info\, empowerment\, care\, and a commitment to unlearning shame—whether they’re talking about pain\, power\, pleasure\, or the messy in-between. \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.

SUMMARY:Lube for Squeaky Hinges: Advice for Polyam Relationships with Bitesize_Aira
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nThe biggest factor in the success or failure of polyamorous relationships is often the thing that bears the most weight: the person in the middle. Being a good hinge takes patience\, planning\, and an ability to craft and maintain strong boundaries in a way that often isn’t discussed in explicit terms in the polyam community\, never mind taught in vanilla society. Fortunately\, good hinging is something that can be taught\, and that anyone can learn. Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced hand\, come and find out how you can be the strongest fulcrum possible in your polyamorous relationships! \nPresenter Bio\nBitesize_Aria (she/her) has been polyamorous and kinky for more than 25 years. In that time she learned from her own and others mistakes and successes. She can claim the lived in experience of having had good and dysfunctional hinging and metamore relationships and hopes to share her hard won knowledge. \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.

SUMMARY:Kink While BIPOC Panel Discussion Facilitated by Mo
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nJoin us for a candid and affirming conversation centering the experiences of BIPOC individuals within the kink community. This panel brings together a diverse group of Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color to share personal stories\, reflections\, and insights on navigating kink as part of their full\, complex identities. \nFrom finding belonging and joy in kink spaces to navigating cultural expectations and building affirming connections\, panelists will explore how race\, heritage\, and kink intersect in unique and powerful ways. Whether you’re curious\, questioning\, or fully immersed\, this conversation offers space to learn\, connect\, and celebrate the richness of BIPOC presence in kink. \nNavigating Identity and Cultural Expectations\nPanelists may explore how their cultural or familial backgrounds shape their relationship to kink\, sexuality\, and bodily autonomy. This includes navigating shame\, secrecy\, or silence in communities where open conversations about desire may be rare—and how individuals have found ways to reclaim and redefine pleasure on their own terms. \nRepresentation and Community Building\nThe conversation may highlight the importance of representation in kink spaces—seeing other BIPOC individuals in roles of dominance\, submission\, leadership\, or creative expression—and the power of finding or creating community that reflects your lived experience. Panelists might share how they’ve cultivated spaces of affirmation\, safety\, and mutual understanding\, both online and in person. \nJoy\, Play\, and Liberation\nBeyond challenges\, the panel will make space for joy—discussing the freedom\, creativity\, and healing that kink can offer. Expect reflections on how kink can be a source of empowerment\, a way to explore identity in expansive ways\, and a practice of pleasure and play rooted in self-determination. \nConsent\, Boundaries\, and Racial Dynamics\nPanelists may also share how they navigate consent and communication in scenes that involve mixed racial dynamics—the setting of clear boundaries\, or addressing moments of discomfort or harm. This includes discussions of how to uphold agency and safety while exploring complex power exchanges. \nAdvice for BIPOC Newcomers\nTo close\, the panel might offer insight or encouragement for BIPOC individuals new to the kink scene—naming practical ways to find community\, avoid tokenization\, and engage in kink practices that feel affirming\, safe\, and exciting. Whether through mentorship\, events\, or personal exploration\, the message will be clear: you belong. \nFacilitator Bio\nMo or @MoProblems (any/all) is a queer genderfluid kinkster entering a second year in the local DC scene. Mo has been exploring what it means to exist on both sides of the slash. A frequent student of Black Rose\, Mo is a new presenter with a decade of experience as a trainer and coach\, and nearly 20 years of experience with both sides of a blowjob. \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.

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\, and has garnered an international following via online education during the pandemic\, which you can see alongside his other shenanigans on Patreon and Fetlife: https://linktr.ee/TheWillowShow \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.
