SUMMARY:BR Gateway - May 2025
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe 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: \n\n\n\n\n\nThinking about attending Black Rose Gateway (overview of the program)\nGateway Attendee FAQ\n\n\n\n\n\nBR 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. \nGateway is in person at The Crucible.  \n\nBR Gateway entry is only available for purchase at the door; Dungeon 101 tickets are the same. You cannot purchase D101 entry at BR Gateway. \nASL Interpreters are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks notice. \nEmail gateway@br.org for more information about this program\, or info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its other events.

SUMMARY:D/s Discussion Group: Expectations in Power Exchange

We will be in Meeting Rooms 1 and 2. Light refreshments are permitted in the meeting rooms. \nPlease RSVP as Going if you want to go!

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. We’ll also go over communication before during and after a blowjob so you can continue to improve your skills as an oral top or bottom. \nNo supplies are needed for this class\, but feel free to bring your favorite phallus or phallic objects to practice on. This is not a deepthroating class\, so no need to break out the bananas or eggplants\, though they’re always welcome. \nWhether you’re a cocksucker extraordinaire or have just recently been a little curious about penises\, this class aims to provide you with something new. All skill levels\, experiences\, and anatomies are welcome. \nPresenter 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.

SUMMARY:Leather Care 101 and Bootblacking Basics with Blue
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nBring your leathers and saddle soap! Or don’t! Leather care 101 is a class for folks looking to maintain their current leathers or learn a little for future leather adventures. Every leather enthusiast has their routine and preferences for leather care. As such\, this class will not be the ultimate guide on leather care\, but suggestions from one enthusiast with a few years of experimentation. \nIf you have a pair of boots or a harness that’s been begging you to condition it\, this is your opportunity to get a second opinion and work on your leathers in a class setting. This class will be a short lecture\, followed by a workshop for folks to mess about with their leathers and ask questions. Some basic leather care supplies will be available\, but supplies are limited. There will also be a small selection of leather goods provided by Blue for folks to clean if they don’t have any leathers themselves. \nBy the end of this class\, participants will have an understanding of the function and use of leather care supplies (soaps\, conditioners\, oils\, brushes\, polish\, miscellaneous supplies). Participants will know the difference in some types of leather and their care needs. Finally\, participants will have time to clean their leathers (optional) with time to ask questions about their specific leathers. \nAttendee supplies- OPTIONAL\, presenter will supply limited extras. \n\nLeathers (cuffs\, boots\, any gear you want to clean).\nLeather care supplies\n\nThis is a class designed for beginners\, but is open to all levels of experience. \nPresenter Bio\nnocturneBlue (they/them) is a queer leather worker and part time dog out of the DMV with a passion for leather care. They’ve participated in the DMV scene since 2023 and seek to share their perspective as a leather worker from a non-kink background.

Their favorite color is blue and they like leather. \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:New and Curious Kinksters
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe 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. \nIf 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!
