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

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.
