Dungeon 101
Dungeon 101
September 1, 2023 7:30 pm - September 2, 2023 2:00 am
The Crucible, 412 V St NE, Washington, DC 20002, USA
Dungeon 101 serves as an introduction into public BDSM play. If you have never attended a public BDSM play event, it can be a bit daunting. The Dungeon 101 class is specifically designed to make you feel comfortable at your first public BDSM dungeon event. Attendees and presenters come from a diverse cross section of the community, all orientations, genders and kinks are welcome. You are welcome to come alone, bring a friend or bring a bunch of friends.
From 7:30 until 8:00 PM will be social time. Starting at 8:00 PM, there will be a talk on scene etiquette and an opportunity to learn about the dungeon itself. Directly following will be a "Exploratorium" event until 11:00 PM where you can try and/or experience many different kinds of play scenes. The idea is for it to be a fun evening for everyone!
To facilitate the Exploratorium, we'll be capping attendance at 150. Everyone in the building (presenters, staff, attendees) must provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination to enter. No advance tickets are available for this event - please plan to arrive early and pay at the door.
$10 with Gateway card, $25 members with membership card, $35 all others
More experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for Open Play. We ask that everyone except presenters keep their toy bags put away until Open Play starts to avoid confusion. No scenes or play permitted during the Exploratorium.
This is an outreach event, you do not need to be a BR or Crucible member to attend.
In order to foster a learning environment, there is no sex allowed at Dungeon 101, and no alcohol is sold. This applies all night, even during open play after the Exploratorium has concluded.
You must be at least 18 years of age. Government-issued photo ID required for entry. Proof of Vaccination Required

Hitchin' Bitches - Fetish Fancy: Rope for Playing Dress-up
Hitchin' Bitches - Fetish Fancy: Rope for Playing Dress-up
September 10, 2023 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
412 V Street NE
Fetish Fancy: Rope for Playing Dress-up
Attendance will be limited to 30 participants for this class. To guarantee a spot, please send a message to Hitchin' Bitches via FetLIfe confirming interest/attendance. https://fetlife.com/events/1219248
Fancy wearing a unique rope design to the next play party? This introductory and self-tie-friendly rope workshop will demonstrate using the Double Coin Knot and the Chinese Flower Knot, two aesthetic knots that lend themselves well to both erotic rope bondage and decorative fashion choices. We will dress ourselves and our partners in a karada-style inspired bodysuit using Double Coin Knots and a chest harness built around the Chinese Flower Knot flowing into a rope corset. Participants should have two (2) standard lengths of rope (26-30 feet) for the body suit and chest harness pieces, and four (4) to six (6) standard lengths of rope for the corset. Self-tiers are recommended to have a spotter or emergency exit plan in place.
Cecilia T. Winters ('CTW' - she/her) is your typical queer Millennial. Born at the start of the internet age, she has always benefited from information at her fingertips. She identifies as bisexual and ethically non-monogamous. She has served as a dungeon and playspace monitor, a demo top for a number of local and national kink events, and as a presenter. She enjoys giving first suspensions to people new to being tied in rope; suspending willing victims for long, sadistic scenes; and suspending herself with rope and chain. Her non-kink interests include reading, making lists, watching early 2000s crime dramas, and learning about ancient human cultures. Together with her partner, Cecilia is a co-author of the book, The Art of Chain: A Guide to Steel Restraint (2022). www.theartofchain.com
Hitchin' Bitches is for all women, intersex and transgender people, and people who fall outside of the gender binary (agender, genderqueer, nonbinary, etc.) who feel a connection to womanhood, femininity, and/or women’s spaces and are interested in tying, being tied and who self-tie. Individuals who do not identify with the above may attend only as an invited bottom of a Hitchin’ Bitches member and may not tie or participate in any discussions other than as bottoms; they should also be aware of the space they take up at the event.
Please bring your ID, membership card, and vaccine card (a photo is fine).
Attire: rope comfortable (think yoga or workout-type clothes; this is not a space for scenes or play)
You must be a Crucible member or the guest of a member. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination required for all attendees. $10 for Crucible members / $15 for non-members

September 16, 2023 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Crucible, 412 V Street NE, Washington, DC
When most of us hear the term “gang bang,” an image comes to mind immediately. Well, that’s just one type of gang bang—let’s reclaim and redefine the idea and create something even better that includes all genders, all bodies, all identities, and all styles of sex and play. Come learn about how to develop, organize, and execute a GB that revolves around “the one”—you or some other (lucky) person. We’ll talk about expectations, participants, boundaries, etiquette/best practices, power dynamics, and more. You’ll learn how to develop your vision and ideas, nuts and bolts organizing skills, and ideas for different types of GB scenes.
Tristan Taormino is a writer, speaker, sex educator, kinkster, and host of the podcast Sex Out Loud. She is the author of numerous books, including her new memoir, A Part of the Heart Can't Be Eaten and Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. She is the founding editor of the annual Best Lesbian Erotica anthologies and editor of The Ultimate Guide to Kink. She has presented at hundreds of BDSM events around the world.
