AORTA films presents Monster Smash! Fear play, supernatural consent, & your darkest fantasies
with Tina Horn

An AORTAlive Workshop
Zoom link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 6:30pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class** 

From beastly toys to demonic romance to horror fetishes, come explore your darkest fantasies and learn how to make your partner scream “IT’S ALIVE!!!”

Monster sex is having an unlikely moment, from enormous novelty toys to demonic romance novels to the strangest of dungeon fantasies. And supernatural mythology throughout history and around the globe has always been a way of working through cultural anxieties about our taboo desires.

This goth season, Tina Horn — queer pornographer, horror writer, and fetish expert — will corrupt you with her underworld of depraved pleasure. We’ll explore the horny appeal of many entities: the glamorous draw of blood-suckers, the technological innovations of the “mad” scientist, witchy potions, mind-controllers, deceptive shape-shifters, bimbos dolls, giantess Mommies, killer cannibals, and much more. We’ll have fun with some supernatural consent scenarios such as: would you bone your clone, would getting drained by a succubus be a dream come true, and is it wrong to use time travel as a seduction technique? And yeah, we’ll talk tentacles.

Whether you’re predator or prey, a hunter or a hedonist, a ravenous beast or just eager to be bred by an ovipositor, Monster Smash will shamelessly illuminate the most shadowy corners of your erotic imagination.

This will be a fun cultural discussion with participation encouraged but not required, and we’ll also give tips on talking to play partners about twisted scene ideas.

Tina’s classes are always sex work positive, anti-racist, and open to people of all relationship styles and gender identities. Please note: if you’ve taken any of Tina’s monster sex, role play, dirty talk, or CNC classes before, this is a leveling up workshop for AORTA fans!

Open to all 18+
