BDSM Skillshare Classes, PRIDE, and Doing Something…

IMG_1128I’ve been talking for a long while about starting a BDSM skillshare class, and tonight is my first one!

Not only am I really excited about it, I view this work as something I can do that makes the world a safer and less repressed place for everyone. In light of all that’s been happening lately, from the badly behaving presidential debates, to PRIDE celebrations, and the tragedy this weekend in Orlando, I am grateful that I get to gather with like-minded and/or interested people tonight to celebrate and learn more about our curiosities and desires. Tonight’s topic is Consent, Negotiation, Communication, and Safety.

If you’re interested in coming, it’ll be happening monthly, so message me and I’ll invite you to the event. There is a vetting process, so if I don’t know you well enough we can set you up for an interview and you can possibly get into the next one…

Happy GLBT and Queer Pride month, folks. May all our ideas of self be safely explored ones, our skills be innumerable, and may the boogymen and stay further and further at bay.

Where Are You?

I tour sometimes.  Often touring takes me away from cities where there is any kind of kink community, scene, or what have you.  It has been my experience that I am just fine being away from sex-positive adults when I’m working for a certain amount of time.  Then…  well, then I get a little depressed.

See how happy I am when I’m all tied up?!?!  When will this ever happen again, my friends? When?!

It starts with a longing to be around my kinky friends.  Spending time remembering what experiences we’ve shared, and thinking about what they’re doing back at home now:  the NELA Fetish Fair, Bound in Boston, demo-bottoming or Topping and teaching at events, MOB meetings and workshops, random munches, sexy/kinky parties, dating various combinations of one another, or drinking coffee in cafés to just plain ‘ol talking about their hot n’awesome (awful, boring, or whatnot) weekends…  Then I start to think maybe I’ll never be there again?!  What if I’m not a part of this kick-ass amazing community at all?!  What if I’m just fooling myself and I’m really a boring touring person who has no time to be kinky and friendly and flirtatious and game for new experiences at all?!  What if having these experiences in the first place was all just some kind of mirage/dream/past life that I’ve outgrown or chosen against forever…

At this point I’m practically drooling with terror and anxiety that no randomish-but-trusted awesome human being will ever enjoy me enough to schedule mummifying me or kicking the crap out of me again…  WHAT KIND OF FUTURE IS THAT?!?!?!?!!!!!

Possibly the solution to this situation is touring for the kink community instead of for theater, BUT until that happens, I need to find some way to find “my own” on the open road.

I am looking for suggestions, my gentle and not so gentle readers, please send me your ideas: Karin@ABCsOfKink.com or comment below.

Bound in Boston is the epitome of community in Sexy Action...

Bound in Boston is the epitome of community in Sexy Action…

Holidays can be hard, wonderful, a challenge, an escape, something spectacular, and an opportunity to be meditative…

Here at ABCs of Kink I wish you all the love and fun that time off and an opportunity for  reflection on the state of the union deserves.

Be well, love yourselves, partake in community as you see most fit, and feel full of something that matters.  Tell me about it here: Karin@ABCsOfKink.com

I’ll return with “E is for…” next Friday, but I’ve taken some time for myself this weekend.  See you Monday Loves,

To Breath and Being!
