Sassy & Fearles - Dark Odyssey

Sassy and Fearles have been teaching rope since 2017 and are passionate about accessible kink education across the scene. Their kink careers have spanned across multiple communities involving diverse and intense sadistic rope styles; most recently expanding with several classes across the US and parts of Europe. The Masochists’ classes often aim to destigmatize kink and help kinksters make adjustments in their play to accommodate for their body’s specific needs. They are currently Boston-based and are co-founders and organizers of SMart Boston Collab. Always looking to improve skills and develop their own styles, they consider themselves lifelong students and are eager to keep teaching and learning from the community in the future.
