In the poly world, one of the biggest dreams isn’t about finding the perfect partner, but the perfect metamour, a person who fits into your relationship structure, fulfills your communication needs, and overflows with compersion 24/7. Unfortunately, that dreamed for person isn’t always the person your partner wants to get involved with. In this class, Ode2Joy will help attendees navigate the complicated interpersonal relationships created when you share a partner with others by breaking down her learned-through-experience methods of making things better with a metamour or making them worse! As a plus, she’ll discredit a few metamour myths along the way. Bio coming soon. To participate, simply visit https://datingkinky.com/TES-Tuesdays every Tuesday, at 7pm.

What is a collar? It means different things to different – well, we could say people, but it really depends on how you identify, doesn’t it? In this class, we will talk about collars (materials, weights, and styles) and collaring (feelings, parallels, and philosophies). There will be an opportunity to share your experiences and we will have a large selection of play and permanent collars on hand to try out. Lady Steele identifies as a femme Alpha leather slave.

Any time hypnokinksters get together in person, people go nuts about kinesthetic (i.e. physical/body-focused) hypnosis, and for good reason: it’s fuckin’ awesome! It’s too bad that this whole subset of inductions is closed to us when we’re not physically able to touch each other, right? WRONG! There’s still tons of kinesthetic hypnosis to be done at a distance, and this class will show and tell you all about it--complete with plenty of Zoom-based demos so you can see these techniques working at 1,000 miles. (This class is primarily hypnotist-directed, but subjects are welcome as well; hopefully everyone will come away with neat ideas to use in their hypno-play.) SexObsessedLesbian is a kinkster, kink educator, and content creator based in the Eastern US; she has been doing hypnosis for a few years, nerding out about sex since high school, and making bad puns since approximately forever. Hypnosis turned her on before she even knew what it meant to get turned on, and the wonderful world of Tumblr taught her that it was an actual thing. Since then, she’s been romping around the countryside thinking and talking about consent, creativity, and ways to do silly and sexy things with people’s brains. Find her online: https://linktr.ee/sexobsessedlesbian Bunbun's Bio: Bunbunlittleone is a switchy dominatrxx, educator, and purveyor of cozy kink.

There's many a pervading myth in the rope scene that center around the idea that only cisgender, petite, and short women can be suspended. We all know that's not true. This class will present three harnesses of different difficulty levels that can allow large bottoms, masc presenting bottoms, disabled bottoms, less mobile bottoms, and many others to begin exploring suspendable rope harnesses. Harnesses to be covered: Mermaid (aka "pencil skirt", legs together) hip harness Hishi modified armbinder - requires a tying partner CTW's Orb Weaver Arms-free chest harness Recommended prior knowledge: People tying should be familiar with the concepts of larks head hitches, reverse tensions, in-line single columns, non-collapsing single columns, half hitches, munter hitches, and weaving. The mermaid and hishi armbinder are beginner and intermediate level ties. The Orb Weaver is a bit more advanced. Disclaimer: This class will teach the harnesses from the ground. Suspension will not be demonstrated. Rope suspension is a high risk activity. Please do not try to suspend with any of these harnesses unless you have taken a class on upline management and understand the risks involved. You should always have a spotter when attempting self-suspension. CTW(she/her) is a fem-presenting rope top and sadomasochist from Virginia. She enjoys tying herself and others, teaching rope, and encouraging body positivity and inclusivity in bondage. She believes any body can be tied. When not doing rope, she co-teaches and bottoms for chain bondage with her long-term partner. To participate, simply visit https://datingkinky.com/TES-Tuesdays every Tuesday, at 7pm.
