So much of sex ed is about the HOW. But Tina Horn has always been preoccupied with the WHY?! Come enjoy a webinar lightning round version of Tina's popular podcast "Why Are People Into That?!" For the curious newbie to BDSM, we'll explain some popular interests. For the seasoned scenester, this class may shed some new light on everything you thought you knew about kink! No matter what your experience, you're sure to be entertained by this funny and thought-provoking workshop!

Some topics we will discuss: bondage, spanking, fisting, pegging, genitorture, role play, leather, latex, feet, boots, electricity, public sex...

You'll see that fundamental human desire is not all that difficult to relate to.

If there's a fetish you've always wanted explained, feel free to ask Tina ahead of time or bring your questions to class.

You'll notice that we're offering two class cost options - $25, the regular cost of a She Bop class or workshop, and $15, a reduced cost option. While we want to make sure our instructors are compensated fairly for their hard work, we recognize that many of our community members are experiencing alterations to their finances at this time. If you are able to pay full price, we ask that you please consider doing so. If the lower cost option is a more accessible fit for you at this time, we encourage you to utilize that option.

Due to our commitment to paying educators fairly, all classes are excluded from sales and discounts.
