What to Expect

There is plenty of time to socialize, but every evening also brings something to explore. Goddess Viktoria introduces a short knowledge teaser drawn from her upcoming Blueprint workshop at House of Scorpio, followed by time to ask questions, practice what you already know, try what you’ve learned in past classes, and get feedback from a pro if you want it.

Kurious is the monthly social side of Bedroom Badass, giving newcomers and experienced people a place to meet, explore upcoming class material, and return with questions after a workshop.

September’s Teaser

Discover Your BDSM Blueprint

September’s demonstration previews Discover Your BDSM Blueprint, the first class in Bedroom Badass, the education series Goddess Viktoria teaches for House of Scorpio.

Blueprint teaches you to read your own desire well enough to name it. You’ll identify the tensions, tones, and zing that shape how a scene builds and hits, then turn those patterns into language for asking for what you want.

The BDSM Blueprint Quiz gives you a first look at your own tension, tone, and zing before the workshop.

The full class runs Wednesday, October 7, and lays the foundation for the rest of The Architecture of Erotic Power.

10 PM to 3 AM, Same Loft
