Kero

Kero (pronoun agnostic) is a nonmonogamous genderfluid pervert. A creative extrovert from the Asian diaspora, they have been active in this scene long enough that some of their early experiences involved local BBSs. Kero is an activist, a trained massage therapist and a licensed social worker. They are committed to naming and combating white supremacy and creating community. They enjoy sharing their love of learning and their extensive knowledge of consent, risk, power and anatomy. Kero has presented at Unabashed, Dark Odyssey’s Fusion, Thrive, and Camp Crucible to name a few, and enjoys using their knowledge for very specific kinds of evil. Come explore neuro/physical/gender/racial diversity and the ways it can be used to change your understanding of kink.

Racial Politics in the Kink Community

Race isn't a dirty word, but we certainly act like it is. Anyone who is willing to have a thoughtful and open discussion on what it means to not be white in the kink community is invited to join. (To create a space that allows for deeper understanding of white supremacy in kink. )

Sadism without impact

Pain can be inflicted in a myriad of ways and many of them do not require impact. This is an interactive class where participants will be asked to be creative as we discuss what pain is, why it is titillating, and how we can experience someone else's suffering for our personal delight without physical impact. We will discuss how to inflict pain with our words, our actions, our intentions, and to do so deliberately, thoughtfully, and with consent.
