New and Curious Kinksters
2026-02-26 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-03-26 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-04-23 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-07-23 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-08-27 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-09-24 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-10-22 18:30 - 20:00 | Zoom, DC, United States
Black Rose’s New and Curious Kinksters (or NaCK), is a discussion group designed for people who are new(ish) to the scene. While we highly recommend all new kinksters check out Gateway (the first/last Thursday of each month – always the day before D101) and Dungeon 101 (the first Friday of each month) and come with questions about their experiences, it is not required, and we welcome anyone new to kink. Please note NaCK is for asking questions, there will be no presentation or monologuing.
We meet the 4th Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8:00pm. We are going to try out having virtual NaCK. I know many of us have Zoom fatigue, but this is a more responsible approach. We’ll chat about whatever comes up – everything from “what do I wear to the club?” to “I had this great scene, but this part didn’t go well. What do you suggest?” NaCK has a rotating group of experienced kinksters come in to answer questions, so the discussion is always a little bit different, and we aim to provide a variety of answers from different D/s roles, genders, races, and backgrounds.
If you are still in the beginning of your kink journey, we hope you’ll come join us to ask questions and share advice. We’d love to have you!
