Pressure Points: Mapping Your Pleasure/ Mapping Your Pain with Willow
2023-06-27 19:30 - 22:00
Please join us June 27th from 7:30pm ET to 10:00 PM ET for the Black Rose’s Tuesday Education Series: Pressure Points: Mapping Your Pleasure/Mapping Your Pain
Class Description
Mapping Your Pleasure / Mapping Your Pain
In the movie, Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex …, a new husband complains to a friend that his wife is frigid. The friend asks the husband if he knows where her erogenous zones are. The husband’s reply, “Yes. Her father gave me a map!”Few of us have such accommodating in-laws, but with some time and a sense of adventure, you can map your own partner’s pleasure and pain spots. This playshop begins with an introduction to therapeutic trigger points and how to exploit them. Throughout the course, we will take a head-to-toe inventory and practice finding and manipulating these spots. Participants will walk away wearing a map for later kinky fun!
Presenter Bio
Willow is a queer sadomasochistic switch who will never tire of rope, blood, or hooks. Equally happy with a goofy, laugh-out-loud or nail-bitingly intense scene, kink is a core part of who he is and what he does. During the pandemic, Willow embraced online education and has garnered an international following on The Willow Show. 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. A respected Priest in the Pagan community, talented massage and yoga therapist, and registered nurse, he uses his diverse skill set to enrich his teaching and further his community service. He currently serves as a board member, Safety Officer, and Dungeon Daddy for The Crucible in Washington, DC.
Whittney and his Boy Willow lead SuspenDC, a crew of kinky hook suspension artists specializing in tailored and transformative experiences. See the benefits and feel the advantage of a lifetime of experience and service to the BDSM community, and come watch their team help people defy fear, gravity, and common sense as they Get Hooked and Fly!

NaCK
2023-06-22 18:30 - 20:00
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!

Sparks fly in this class targeted mostly at beginners to electro play. It ain’t just about glass on your ass!

Presenter Bio
Dara, the Electro Khaleesi, is a sensual sadist, Domme, and a little. She has been in the BDSM lifestyle for 20 years and her specialty is sensual and sadistic electro play, but works within a variety of kinks and fetishes. A member of the International Violet Wand Guild with over 8 years’ experience with the intensities and variations of electro play, Dara offers private electro sessions and lessons out of her home, and demos at parties and kink events in the DC metro area.

BR Gateway - June 2023
2023-06-08 19:45 - 21:30 | The Crucible, 412 V St NE, Washington, DC, United States
Due to circumstances beyond Black Rose’s control, the BR Gateway program scheduled for June 8 has been cancelled. We will resume our normal schedule of BR Gateway presentations in July.
Everything below is for archive purposes only.

Black Rose (BR) Gateway is a great way to get a lot of information about the local kink community before you commit any unintentional faux pax because everyone (except you) knew about the community and social expectations.
We cover topics ranging from from Consent to Privacy, Negotiations to Aftercare, and ensure that everyone is aware of our aggressive stand against certain types of behaviors. You can learn more about what you can expect from BR Gateway by reading:

Thinking about attending Black Rose Gateway (overview of the program)
Gateway Attendee FAQ

BR Gateway and Dungeon 101 work together like a lecture/lab combination class; you can get a lot from attending either one, but you can get a lot more by attending both.
Gateway is in person at The Crucible. Proof of primary vaccination status is REQUIRED and masks are strongly encouraged (this is current in 2023).

BR Gateway entry is no longer available through Eventbrite, but only available for purchase at the door; Dungeon 101 tickets are the same. You cannot purchase D101 entry at BR Gateway.
ASL Interpreters are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks notice.
Email gateway@br.org for more information about this program, or info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its other events.

Presenter Bio
“WhosThatBear” is an intellectually curious kinkster who’s perpetually excited for whatever is around the next bend. He thrives in an environment where authenticity comes first and folks work as hard at taking care of themselves as they do everyone around them. Safe comes before sexy, in the dictionary and life. He’s been an event host for over a decade as of 2023 and learned along the way that if you start with kindness and inclusivity; the rest falls into place. An engineer and former improv comedian; he fucks with electricity, unreasonably powerful vibrators, impact, wax, creative predicaments, and excellent communication skills.
