This class is for everyone who is new to the kinky/leather/BDSM scene (less than a year), or curious, or wants a refresher course.  Old hands also welcome.  We cover what to expect, what to wear, how to fit in, and ways to be safe and happy.  We allay fears, dispel myths, decode the jargon, and set realistic expectations.  Why do people do these things, what exactly do they do, and which ones might I want to try?  Why and how is etiquette so much different in the scene?  This is a good chance to have questions answered, and avoid getting the wrong reputation.  And if you’re good, we’ll teach you the secret password.

Angela and Iain are officers in the Society of Janus, Dungeon Monitors for SF Citadel and elsewhere, and teach BDSM classes at all levels, at many venues.  Both were beginners once.  Their teaching style combines humor and approachability with clarity and thorough research.

In keeping with a twelve-year tradition, this class is pay-what-you-will, compliments of SF Citadel and the presenters.  Donations to maintain SF Citadel are greatly appreciated.

You may remain anonymous.  Reservations not required.  Membership not required.  RSVP encouraged at fetlife event, above.  You don't need to bring or wear anything special.  If time is tight, you can bring dinner to eat during the class.  The class is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink.  All roles, genders, and orientations welcome.  If you have questions you may write to edukink AT yahoo DOT com

The venue is very nice on the inside.  The outside is nondescript, just a simple street number, no name.  Walk up the carpetted stairs.

What past attendees have said:  

 

“I wish I’d learned this when I first entered the scene.”  

 

“They make it all easier and more fun.”  

 

“I’m just here ‘cause a friend is kinky.”  

 

“I already know everything.  I’m just checking if they get it right.”

“Beginner’s Dungeon” is part of the monthly Newcomers’ Series of six BDSM/leather classes mainly for those in their first three years in the face-to-face scene.  Old hands also welcome.  The classes may be taken in any order, and there is very little overlap/duplication between them, so consider attending them all.  They are usually the First Thursday of each month.
