For those unfamiliar with the worlds of kink and BDSM, these practices frequently arouse fear, disgust and incomprehension, or at best fascination and secret attraction for the more curious. For experienced practitioners, on the contrary, these practices take on a profound and delicate importance, sometimes almost sacred. Delicate and profound. That's the spirit of this session, aimed at enthusiasts and the uninitiated alike. You'll be able to travel into intense, confident subspaces, plunge into singular, assertive fetishes, or even laugh, because, let's face it, it's all a game, nothing is really serious! Beauty hurts, yes. And it's so good!

I’m sitting behind Viola in class.
I want to flick ink at Viola.
I want to pull Viola’s pigtails.
I want to cut Viola’s pigtails right off in my fist.
I want to tug Viola.
I want to tie Viola together
I want to be mean to Viola.
I want to transgress into Viola’s lap.
