Below are four kinky class ideas for people thinking of venturing into advanced BDSM, or looking to expand their kink repertoire.

4 Kinky Class Ideas
These classes put the “adult” in adult education!
Rope Bondage Classes
Many major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York have incredibly varied opportunities to show you the ropes. From lectures on beginner’s safety techniques, to knot making, to practice sessions, to elaborate and advanced Japanese rope bondage arts like Shibari and Kinbaku, you can learn a variety of perspectives and practices.
But don’t assume that you won’t find rope play instruction if you live in a small town! Kinky fetishists are not confined to big cities, and classic BDSM arts like rope bondage have a long and established history that runs underground everywhere.
Cock and Ball Torture
Certain kinks require us to develop important skills and knowledge in order to play safe and make the most of our fetish.
No matter if you prefer to be tortured or to do the torturing—you can’t just ask your next hookup date, “Hey, torture my balls, would ya?”
You need to understand safety and boundaries in advance and your partners need some idea of what she’s doing. CBT workshops can be found at fetish festivals or ask around in your kink community.
Guaranteed that someone near you is offering private lessons or small group workshops.

Erotic Asphyxiation Instruction
Getting creative with kink makes sense independently, socially, and with your partners. Exploring different sensations and practices is often the best way to learn more about them. But for many kinks, you always want to learn how and learn to play safe from an experienced practitioner.
Erotic Asphyxiation—also known as choking, or breath control play—is one of those kinks.
The very thrill of vulnerability and flirting with the edge while in total submission or control is what makes this particular fetish dangerous. It’s much safer to play with a partner—many who play alone with autoerotic asphyxiation have gone past the point of no return.
If you want to be that partner, or are looking for her, both of you need to take a few workshops on this mind-blowing form of alteration and submission.

Role Playing and Drama Workshops
Role Playing is one of my favorite kinks because it’s a way to access and experience every conceivable variable, to try on different strokes.
It can be super light, almost vanilla, so it works with my dates who declare themselves “not kinky”—and it can be an extremely honed discipline where scenes are practiced and rehearsed until their full performance. Role plays can encompass anything at all, from silly comic scenes to deeply distressing fantasies like incest or power imbalances that need to be worked out.

Best of all, the variety of role playing workshops and programs means you can explore indefinitely. You will find all kinds of specific options like how to play cops and robbers, or donning drag.
But make full use of community acting and drama classes as well. You will most likely leave your clothes on for those, but they are fun and no one will know what you’re up to!
Best of all, you’ll meet babes who are into the drama, but not into the drama, if you know what I mean.
