$15 cash at the door. We ask that you only RSVP if you’re sure you can attend as we have limited spots. Please arrive with enough time to get checked in and get comfortable in a seat.
With k!nk being highlighted in media projects such as the 50 Shades of Grey franchise, Baby Girl (2024), Pillion (2025), and various “Spicy Romance” books, it's important to examine it in a realistic light. Join us in a class focusing on the differences and similarities in fantasy and reality while learning how to push back against the whimsical thinking of k!nky fiction. At the end of this class, you may be able to guide your vanilla friends into the wild world of k!nk more easily or correct people when they say they want to live inside a $mut book.
Topics will include:
- Media representations of k!nk and non-normative lifestyles
- Differences and similarities between fiction and reality
- Risk reduction in k!nk lifestyles
- Addressing and pushing back against pervasive narratives
This will be a seminar-style class taught by Mr Icarus that will include example media, a short lecture, and a moderated open-floor discussion.
We’re also beyond excited to continue our partnership with Out of Bounds, our favorite local, LGBTQ+ owned and operated adult store. If you attend this class, you'll have some shopping time afterwards and you'll get 10% off your purchase! Out of Bounds isn’t just a shop - they’re a pillar of our local k!nk and queer communities. They create a space that’s welcoming, inclusive, and judgment-free, offering not only high-quality toys and gear, but education, advocacy, and genuine care for the people they serve. Their values line up perfectly with ours: safety, consent, authenticity, and community. Together, we’re building spaces where people can learn, explore, and connect without shame, without pressure, and always with intention. We’re proud to have them as partners in this series, and even prouder to support a business that puts so much love back into the community it serves.
Come learn, explore, and grow with LustBound!
