VIRTUAL CLASS: Livin' on the Edge with Tina Horn

Join Sub Rosa's guest educator Tina Horn for Livin' on the Edge, an online class all about CNC for Edgeplay.

Our favorite forms of Edge Play — from blood to breath, intoxication to mind control — usually involve the seemingly paradoxical yet profoundly vital kink concept of consensual non-consent (CNC). Learning psychology, archetypes, and power dynamics are just as important as any other technique. Plus, that messed-up stuff adds so much to your filthy fun!

Let longtime dominatrix and widely published fetish author Tina Horn be your guide to CNC for Edge Play. High risk fun including restraint, seduction, coercion, persuasion, inappropriateness, predation, harassment, stalking, stimulation overload/overwhelm, tease and denial, deprivation, ownership, gaslighting, exploitation, mind-fucking, oppression, succuming, exposure, defilement, and depravity will all be in the mix.

We’ll also go deep on the unspeakable by acknowledging the verboden realities that inform our fantasies, and how to incorporate ethical care into the most perverted pleasure. From authority figures to toxic love, blackmail to torture, ravishment to the supernatural, this workshop will generate truly twisted scene ideas for years to come.

Who is this class for?

This online class is for people who already have an understanding of BDSM foundation (consent, negotiation, aftercare, etc). CNC is Tina’s specialty, and this class is designed for experienced kinksters who are relatively new to CNC. Whether you’re someone who entertains fantasies of force and surrender, or you simply believe that liberation for all can only emerge through collective grappling with erotic power, this workshop is for you! All genders, orientations and all sides of the slash are welcome.

This is an online class. A recording will be available to all ticket holders for 30 days. This class is for adults 18+ only.

Reduced price tickets are available to BIPOC folks as well as those experiencing financial hardship. Please reach out to info@subrosapdx.com to request a discount code.
