Getting Kinky on a Budget

Getting Kinky on a Budget When you first jump into the world of kink, it can kinda seem like spending $300 on gear is a prerequisite before you even get to play. While you're free to do that if you want, there are lots of ways you can "pervert" standard household objects to fulfill your creative goals.

Join us as we give you all the tips and inspiration you need to view everything in your household in a brand new light. We'll talk about cheap ways to fulfill some of the most common interests while simultaneously talking about the downsides and how to mitigate some of the risks. As an added benefit, when your gear just looks like household objects, you don't have to get out the toybox to play at a moment's notice!

You'll also learn about gear-free ways to play while exploring why gear isn't required. You only, technically, need the plan to have some fun.

About the Educator - Mistress Kay (She/her)

Mistress Kay has a fondness for all things sexual. With a house that's quickly running out of room for all of her reading and vibrating pleasures, she spends her free time reading, writing, and learning about the sexual, femdom and BDSM universe with her partners.

That knowledge translates into a dayjob teaching sex, femdom, and BDSM, photography specializing in boudoir and kink, and her educational website, Kinky World, which has been providing free online BDSM education for over 17 years.
