An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Calling all sadomasochists! Do you love leaving or wearing marks on your body? Want to know just how to better guarantee that those bruises bloom? Then this workshop is for you!

Who doesn’t love a good bruise?! From the fresh red marks to that delicious black and purple and blue, all the way to shades of green and yellow, the kaleidoscope within the journey of a bruise is a thing to behold. Come learn a little about the science of how bruises happen and how they heal. We’ll explore some tips to help better guarantee marks, discuss the sentimentality involved in bruising, and learn considerations for bruising darker skin. Spend some timing learn about one of us sadomasochists’ favorite trophies. Maybe we’ll even create some together in real time! 

This class involves a presentation, scientific information and a live demo.

This class is open to all genders, sexualities, and experience levels. Come and play!

Open to all 18+

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Get to the core of what actually turns you on and learn to read the hidden invitations inside your partner’s requests. Midori’s Desire Archetypes and Desires Chart give you the tools to craft sharper, hotter, and far more satisfying scenes.

Have you found yourself pausing when someone asks “what are you really into?” or “What type of D/s do you enjoy?”

Having a hard time visualizing what you might enjoy in that scene your partner wants? Perhaps you’ve found yourself not quite loving the play you’ve enjoyed in the past but aren’t sure what to ask for in negotiations?
Contrary to popular assumptions, knowing what we really want in play can be challenging. It’s also quite normal to not know everything about your desires. Auntie Midori is here to help.

This is an exciting new virtual class from the founder of ForteFemme Women’s Dominance Intensive & The Art of Feminine Dominance. Part of a series exploring the fundamentals of feminine dominance* Midori will guide you through a unique process to help you identify your desire archetype and learn how to embody and express it through play.

We will cover…

  • How to identify your core desires that underlie your current play
  • Begin to identify what your partner is really asking for in a scene
  • Identify the types of scenes that you won’t enjoy before you get into them
  • Learn Midori’s infamous Desires Chart and how to use it to break out of the box for better scene satisfaction
  • Consider scenes that you might not have thought of that just might delight you
  • Get practical tips for playing with your newfound clarity and desires.

No experience necessary. 

*Important Note: “Feminine dominance” is about a state of mind and how it can be explored through play, not necessarily gender experience. This class is open to all genders, orientations, and anyone with curiosity about topping (whether a little or a lot).

Open to all 18+

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Physical and emotional states affect how we breathe, and breathing has the power to affect how we feel. Learning to intentionally shift breathing patterns gives us the power to push the intensity and capacity of BDSM scenes.

Learn to add greater depth and intensity to your scenes through the use of intentional breathing techniques. We will discuss the physiology of breathwork, practice breathing patterns that influence the body’s responses (like increasing and decreasing pain perception, fear, and euphoria), and explore how these can be applied to almost any type of scene or play style. The class is great for tops looking to create more intense experiences for their bottoms, masochists looking to increase their endurance, and anyone interested in using breath to influence power dynamics and physical responses in play. All skill levels welcome!

Wearing comfortable clothing is recommended if you intend to participate in the breathing exercises during class (which is encouraged, but certainly not required).

This class is open to all genders, sexualities, and experience levels. Come and play!

Open to all 18+

About your Presenter:

Priestex is a non-binary multidisciplinary artist, performer, certified therapeutic breath worker, and indulgent kinkster of many talents. Their deep love for the human body drives them to explore the variety of its capabilities in building work and play that engages with decadence and beautiful grotesques. Follow Insta / Bsky

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Learn how to make rope work for bodies that come pre-loaded with pain. Pillows required, suffering optional.

Come hang out while we explore practical ways of making rope work with your painful body. Whilst there are countless approaches to rope when living with chronic pain, we’re zooming in on one flavor for this workshop: the art of cushioning. Think pillows, barriers, soft props and whatever else we can DIY into making ties more comfortable. Whether you’re curious about rope for yourself, someone you love or just accumulating rad knowledge, you’re welcome here. Because rope bondage shouldn't require you to ignore what your body's been screaming about all week.

We’ll cover: 

  • Safety stuff that hits different when chronic pain is in the mix 
  • How to dial up or down based on what your body is doing that day
  • Live demos of tie adaptations (with all the squishy support props)
  • Tips for topping and bottoming while navigating chronic pain
  • How to actually talk about “hey, my hip is staging a revolt” mid-scene


Accessibility: 

  • Seriously, bring your heating pad, join from the tub, prop yourself up like a pillow fort diva - this space is built *for* bodies in chronic pain. 
  • All visual aids will use accessible fonts and colors.
  • Images will be accompanied by a verbal image description.
  • Presentation slides will be available to download at the beginning and after the workshop.

Open to all 18+

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Join Dirty Lola for a candid, filthy, and funny workshop for kinky, pleasure-forward folks navigating aging, menopause, shifting libido, and bodies that no longer behave on command. You gain tools, language, and permission to adapt your desire, evolve your kink, and stay gloriously sexual—just with better lighting and more intentional knee placement.

Have you ever looked at your changing body and thought, “Well… this is new”? This workshop is for kinky, slutty, pleasure-forward people who still want to fuck, flirt, play, and feel desirable on their own terms—even as aging, menopause, shifting libido, sore joints, hormonal chaos, and brain fog start making themselves known without asking for consent. Join Dirty Lola for an honest, funny, and deeply affirming conversation about what it means to stay sexual when your body (and sometimes your brain) starts rewriting the rules.

Together, participants will explore how to adapt the sexy things they love: how kink can evolve, desire can be rerouted, and pleasure can be renegotiated when energy, lubrication, erections, orgasms, or focus don’t behave the way they used to. This isn’t about getting back to “normal”—it’s about learning new tricks, new rhythms, and new definitions of what counts as hot. Expect practical tools, shared wisdom, language for naming what’s changing, resources for learning more, and space to grieve what’s shifting without giving up the filthy joy of being a sexual being. Aging doesn’t mean the party’s over—it just means the playlist changes, the lighting gets better, and everyone’s more intentional about where they put their knees.

This class is open to all genders, sexualities, and experience levels. Come and play!

Open to all 18+
