BDSM in Public: Exhibitionism, Sescretive, Open Lifestyle DISCUSSION – Sat, 9/28 6 PM EST – “How public are you with your lifestyle? If you are in a dynamic, do you keep it vanilla for the rest of the world or do you prefer being open about it? How "secret" are your kinks and your approach to the lifestyle? Are there levels of privacy you prefer? Does exhibitionism play a part in this? Does your local BDSM community play a part in this?” Brats: Uncovering the Truth – Sat, 09/28 7 PM EST – “(The following is a parody event. The content is semi-scripted and satirical. Crowd interaction is encouraged and there will be game-like elements.) Have you or someone you know been subjected to a brat? Many Americans are reporting altercations with a group of people referring to themselves ominously as "brats"--or individuals afflicted with youthful, nonsensical comebacks and a propensity to stick out their tongues in pointed defiance. Fear grips the streets, but some brave investigative reporters infiltrated this clandestine organization.” Newbie Online Munch – Sun, 10/29/ 12 PM EST – “This is an event to incentivize our new members to come out of the shadows, meet new people, and discuss how they stumbled into BDSM. You'll get to learn about our server, the culture we have here, as well as our official weekly event Question of the Week. There will also be a Q&A with participating Dungeon Crew members and Server Contributors.” Discord101 – Fri, 10/04 7 PM EST – “Are you new to Discord?

This will be an open, structured QnA of WHATEVER you want to know!” Negotiation, Limits, and Consent 101 – Sun, 10/6 7 EST – “I will be holding another guided discussion on Negotiation, Limits, and Consent: The Basics. This will not be full out open discussion, and I have handouts (yay!) for everyone that I will be reading from that we will then talk about after each section. This information should/will be applicable to both IRL and online play, and is good for people who are new or just need a refresher! At the end we will have open discussion & questions. Keep in mind I am not an expert, and I am just using resources and leading/facilitating the event.”

How does a Brat Tamer D-type manage this kind of behaviour? What makes it exciting or enjoyable for both sides? What specific behaviours do you encourage a Brat to do, and where do you draw the line? Discuss brat/brat tamer dynamics!

For the last week we have been honored to have a nightly "Rope Along" hosted by members in our community. It has been the perfect mixture of socializing and learning, and hugely successful. Come in and join us for one of these Rope Events! Later this week: We will be having a DISCUSSION EVENT on Rituals! To what extent are they a part of your dynamic? Why would you want or need them? How can rituals strengthen a connection or reinforce a desired state? What rituals work for you? Have you found easy but powerful ones? How can beginners start diving into this? How are rituals different from rules or protocols (and how do you put it all together)? Join in on the discussion!
