SINCLAIR at The Boundless Retreat

 

Flirting Dirty (with Flirting Bingo!)

Many of us come to kink retreats for enlightenment — just kidding, I meant: to flirt, fuck, and play. But making it happen in real life can be a lot harder than we want it to be.

Do you wish more people would hit on you? How do you make yourself more available?

We can all use some practice asking for what we want, but how do you escalate from flirting to foreplay and foreplay to fucking? Learn to perfect the art of the tease, use negotiations as foreplay, and make sex even hotter in the process. We’ll play “flirting bingo,” have a chance to practice different flirting styles, and who knows?

You might even find somebody of interest.

    Writing Spicy: Erotica Writing WorkshOp

    I bet you already write erotica — you text dirty things to lovers or play partners, right? That’s basically it.

    In this writing workshop, we’ll talk about questions like, How do I write the actual sex tho? and, What if I want to get published? We’ll do some writing prompts together, and folks will be invited to share their work and offer positive feedback. You will leave with words written down on a page, and (hopefully) more permission to put your dirty thoughts to paper.

    Participants in this workshop will have priority in the Spicy Showcase on Sunday.

    What to Bring:

    • A notebook and a pen, or something equivalent. 

    Spicy Showcase: Erotic Reading

    Come witness brave folks as they read their dirty words out loud in front of others — which is an act of resistance, an act of revolution.

    There will be content warnings (because we’re going to get nasty) and big feelings and queer lust and politics and who knows what else. Participants in the Writing Spicy erotica writing workshop will have first crack at the mic; find Sinclair and get your name on the list if you want to read.

    Sinclair will MC, and share some of their own erotic poems and stories, too.

      One-on-One Coaching with Sinclair

      Sinclair will be available for 1:1 sessions throughout the Retreat weekend for D/s theory & support, gender puzzles, using energy in kink, and facilitating kink ritual.

      If you’re interested in 1:1 coaching, please contact them directly, sinclair@sugarbutch.net, for more information.
