Another fabulous pre-Pink play-shop coming your way!

Every Pink party launches with a playshop free for party goers. This month we learn a little about freestyle bondage.

Bind without Twine: Bondage Ad Libitum!

Whether you don’t own rope or just want to experiment with something a little more unexpected, this class will have something for you! We will succinctly discuss safety and negotiation for restraint, then jump right into involving you in creating bondage with unconventional materials. From the expected (neckties, belts) to the less cliche (the clothes off their backs, nylons, pillowcases, necklaces), this playshop will look at a large variety of “found” bondage implements and how to apply these safely and creatively. Just wrapping a pair of pantyhose around your partner’s hands isn’t going to cut it- we will cover the entire process, from specific application guidelines (including variations like limb to limb bondage vs tying off to furniture), execution in context, setting and maintaining a “mood” for your scene (from silly to sadistic), all the way to aftercare and follow-up. Then practice what you learned at Pink after the playshop- no extra supplies required!

Their classes always include a detailed handout. Together they host events and teach classes several times a month in SF Bay Area and beyond. Chey is an ER nurse by day, while Stefanos is all kink all the time in his professional life as the Steward of The Upper Floor on Kink.com and as DM and manager of Bondage-a-Go-Go.

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.
