Intro to BDSM
2025-08-09 17:00 - 21:00 | Sexploratorium, 1800 S Broadway, Denver, 80210
Intro to BDSM is a welcoming, judgment-free workshop designed to give you a broad overview of kink, power exchange, and play. Whether you're brand new, curious, or looking to deepen your understanding, this class will cover the essentials of consent, communication, negotiation, and safety—the foundations of all ethical kink practices. This is a fully clothed event with no direct sexual touch where participants can explore at their own pace in a supportive and respectful environment.
We’ll dive into the many facets of BDSM, including power dynamics, scene planning, and different types of play. To bring these concepts to life, Fox and mtn grrl will lead live demonstrations of practices like sensation play, impact play, and violet wand. These demos are designed to show you how each tool or activity works, along with tips on how to do them safely and with intention.
After the demos, you’ll have the opportunity to try out any of the tools or toys in a low-pressure, educational setting, with Fox and mtn grrl available to guide you, answer questions, and offer advice. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to expand your kinky toolkit, this class is a great place to start—or start again—with confidence, care, and community.

The fun isn’t in finding the right answers—it’s in the hilariously wrong ones. This isn’t your typical Denver comedy show; it’s a fast-paced, interactive experience where the “advice” is anything but helpful but always guaranteed to have you in stitches. Whether you’re flying solo, out on a date night, or just looking for fun things to do in Denver, this is a must-see comedy event.
