Who’s the Boss?

For those who want to add a little spice, playfulness, fantasy, and mental connection to their sex lives, this class is for you! Undressing, kissing, dirty talk, and foreplay- all the sexy things you already do can be slightly adjusted to fit into bedroom dominance. We will start by introducing the idea of playing with power exchange and discuss using safewords to enhance your play. We’ll show some specific techniques to get you started (including kissing, hair pulling, verbalization, and using teeth and nails for maximum effect), and finish it off with a detailed demonstration of reading and using body language in this context.

Presented by Chey & Stefanos:

As Purveyors of Perversion, Stefanos and Chey are well known for teaching classes that are entertaining (they’ve been called “better than a Vegas act”) and also packed with useful and applicable information. They have performed, presented, and hosted events at many venues including the SF Citadel, Mission Control, Kink.com, NorthWest Leather Celebration, KinkAcademy.com, Bondage-a-Go-Go, San Francisco’s Supper Club, Behind Closed Doors in Arizona, and in a number of documentaries across the world. While both Stefanos and Chey primarily identify as Dominants, they have both switched during their combined 15+ years in the public scene. They identify as pansexual polyamorist playsluts (and probably a few other P’s they haven’t thought of yet).

Free with Pink party entry. Always free for Allies.

Blues Dancing

On the surface, Blues dance looks like a slower, sexier version of the Lindy Hop and Swing dancing. Beneath that cursory view is a depth of connection, expression, and tension in the dance between partners and the music they’re moving to that goes well beyond the simple steps.

Our Teacher:
Aaron is a local Blues dance enthusiast and Pink regular, excited to bring these two worlds together. His class will demonstrate the Blues dance basic steps, and focus on the environment of the dance: asking a potential dance partner out onto the dance floor, establishing connection, expressing movement intention, the polarity of leading and following, and exploring how to carry an incredible dance off the floor and into the Pink space.

Stay on then to practice your steps on the Pink dance floor as we launch the party with a sexy, bluesy set.

Comfortable and sexy attire recommended. Please do not wear high heels.

Getting to the Good Stuff!

With Marcia Baczynski

Cost: Free with paid Pink admission

The Playshop:

Getting to the Good Stuff: Playful Play Party Negotiation
You’re at Pink (or Kinky Salon, Or Kiss) and you notice that hottie looking at you. How do you get from sideways glances to hooking up without missing a beat (or looking like an idiot)? How do you figure out what you’re each up for? What do you do when safer sex needs to be discussed? How do those other people make it look so easy?!

This hands-on (and hilarious) pre-Pink Playshop will show you how to

• Ask so you’re more likely to get a yes
• Hear a No without being rejected
• Handle uncertainty in yourself or your partner
• Use playful counter-offers to get more of what you want
• Get more of the Good Stuff while staying inside your and your new friends’ boundaries

Negotiating Successful Threesomes

With Reid Mihalko

Double your pleasure without destroying your relationships…

Join world renowned sex and relationship educator Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for this R-rated, fun-filled, playshop (with live demonstrations!)… just before Pink!

* The most common threesome mistakes (and how to avoid them!)
* How to negotiate boundaries and safer sex protocols to make your next menage a trios tré bien!

Bring your loved ones, bring your friends, and enjoy an educational and entertaining evening on how to successfully navigate one of the most common sexual fantasies: the threesome!
