Recommendations on intro bdsm classes

There are a huge number of online and in-person offerings for intro BDSM classes. Our recommendations are based on personally vetting these organizations / educators. While these classes are a great starting point, we encourage you to seek out your own education and take classes from a variety of other organizations. The best thing you can do is form your own opinions over time as you get more immersed in the kink community.
