The PREMIERE Kinky Tapas retreat was SO special.
Highlights:
Two gorgeous dungeons where we spent most of our active learning and hands-on practice time.
Hands-on skills in electroplay, genital torment tools, impact play, switching, dominance and submission, strap-on sex, anal play, restraints and more.
Erotic personas were birthed and surprised all of us!
Everyone got a Kinky Kit stuffed full of kinky tools and toys and a Kinky Tapas Workbook.
Vetting, community connecting and partner searching skills.
Small-group vibes - we shared meals together, decided on what skills to focus on together, supported their fellow kinksters in their learning and shared ideas based on their lived experiences.
Powerful exercises for practising confidence, community and communication.
Sexy and erotically empowered photos were taken.
Shrimp became a safeword for...reasons.
Luna got flogged a lot.
Marla got to staple someone with her surgical stapler and evil laughed with joy anytime someone mentioned pain.
Who knew I'd develop a captured-unicorn-in-pleather kink at Kinky Tapas? 🤷🏽♀️🦄 - Luna
Kinky Tapas was a dream come true for us. It was a chance to host eager, thoughtful and socially-aware learners for 3 days of kinky skills. We wanted to create an environment that supported play - people can get little bites of a lot of kink. Kinky Tapas is a space where you can prioritise play and curiosity with the support of two seasoned Kink Educators.
Our meet and greet took place at the infamous Wicked Grounds, a kinky cafe in San Francisco. Everyone was friendly and warm, and got to know each other in a non-kinky way before heading into a day of learning in the dungeon!
My kinky vibe is homicidal, sensual sadist 😃🔪- Marla
Day 1 in the dungeon focused on skills to help build connection to your erotic self, kinky desires and discover what your kinky personality is like. We got into some hands-on play exploring safety, communication and impact tools. Luna enthusiastically offered to bottom for flogging. Marla brought the world’s biggest paddle. After a full-day of learning, we regrouped for an incredible dinner together to de-brief.
Day 2 in the dungeon got even more intense and playful! Participants dug into their power exchange archetypes, discussed barriers to confidence and practised setting scenes. We dug into kinky skills like electroplay, genital torture, restraints, strap-on play and anal. We can’t kink without fun right? We closed Day 2 with a playful kinky photoshoot in the dungeon for participants' eyes only. On Day 3, we had a home-cooked brunch for everyone and de-briefed the experience, handed out certificates and set intentions for our kinky futures.
Kink is infinitely creative! Kinky Tapas is a place to get erotically empowered by that creativity in a supportive, anti-racist and hands-on learning environment. Get on our list to hear about Kinky Tapas 2023! Have questions? Email us!
