Learn with The Cathedral
BDSM 101 - An Introduction to BDSM
This is an introductory class into BDSM. We cover a brief history, terminology, power exchange relationships, sadomasochism, bondage, safety, dungeon & play party etiquette, and other topics that fall under the wonderful umbrella of BDSM.
This class will be hosted on the 1st Wednesday of every month near downtown Las Vegas. It is free to attend but eventually will become a requirement to attend future classes, workshops & events at The Cathedral
This is a class in a public location, between Downtown (Freemont) and the Strip. Please come in vanilla attire that is appropriate for the public. The address is given privately to those that wish to attend.
About The Class
The History of BDSM
We briefly cover some of the origins of BDSM, including the Father of Sadism & Masochism, as well as other notable periods of time that were pivotal for the growth and development of BDSM within our culture.
Common Terminology within BDSM
There are a number of terms that are commonly used within the lifestyle that may be foreign to most people who are freshly walking into the scene. Like... the term Scene, what does that mean?! What does BDSM actually stand for?

We will cover the website www.Fetlife.com and how to stay safe online, all while helping you learn to find important groups locally to assist in your journey down the rabbit-hole we call BDSM.
Play Party Etiquette
Before you attend your first BDSM Party, you need to know the Do's and Dont's of BDSM etiquette.
BDSM Scenes & Negotiation
What is a Scene?! How do I negotiation with a potential play partner or romantic interest? Fear not, we have you covered!
Consent
What is consent? How do I know if I have consent of another person? We go over these questions and more after the "Consent Tea" video during our BDSM 101 course.
