There’s always something new to learn about kink and fetish play. While books and websites are invaluable resources, they can only take you so far.
BDSM classes allow you to personalize your education and learn hands-on. Often featuring live demonstrations, they give you the opportunity to practice new techniques, try out specialized equipment, ask questions, and meet kinky people.
In-person kink workshops usually take place at sex-positive adult shops, dungeons, community play spaces, BDSM conventions, or sex clubs. If you prefer to learn in the privacy and comfort of your own home, online kink classes are a popular alternative. The Virtual Events page on fetlife.com lists hundreds of kink webinars. With so many to choose from, however, determining which are taught by reputable BDSM educators can be difficult.
To save you that guesswork, below are some of our favorite kink class platforms and instructors. They offer everything from BDSM 101 to advanced topics like Shibari Japanese rope bondage, wax play, or consensual non-consent. You’ll even find pleasure-focused adult sex ed classes–a must for sexy, sensual kink scenes.

If you‘re interested in learning more about kink, one of the best ways is through books. Why? While Google searches can sometimes be helpful, it can be hard to differentiate quality BDSM education from misleading info.
Consent is the cornerstone of all BDSM, kink, and fetish play. This goes beyond simply saying “yes” or “no” to proposed activities.
Conversations about sex, fetish & kink can be fun, entertaining, and educational. Because podcasts and videos allow for in-depth conversations, they’re ideal for exploring these nuanced topics.
