Orientation - For newcomers to kink
2027-07-12 18:30 - 21:30, 2027-08-09 18:30 - 21:30
New to kink and don’t know where to start? Interested in going to events but you don’t know how to behave, what to wear, what to do? You are definitely not alone and going to your first kink event can be quite intimidating. This barrier free newcomer orientation helps people who are brand new to take their first steps into the fascinating world of kink.

The first part is a conversation with the participants about the world of kink: Etiquette online and offline, expectations, dress codes at events, possibilities and some recommendations, especially for single folks.

In the second part of this orientation, we go through a few of the most common kinks: bondage, impact, Dominance/submission, fetishes, etc. Participants can see how it feels to hold a flogger or be tied up.

The last part is all about the open questions of the participants. Where to go from here? What to do with this or that fantasy? How to find someone to play with? And many more questions answered.

Duration: 3h approximately

Date and Time: Every second Monday of the month 6.30pm

Fee: $25/person

Prerequisites: None
