Salons In The Art Of Pleasure
Educational resolutions we can fully support…
The new year has such strong associations with resolutions, and a drive to better oneself… It is a tale as old as time, that dates back to Babylonian times (You can find out more in this fascinating piece by Emily Laurence for National Geographic.) We know many don’t tend to stick, but the intention is there.
We exist to shine a light on the life-changing power of female sensuality, and want our Home of Pleasure to be a haven for empowerment and pleasure - at this time of year, we are only too happy to oblige those in search of new discoveries, self love and new realms of happiness.
For many of us, it is so attractive to see the people we care about animated about their interests, especially when there is a new, fresh discovery in the mix. The same is undeniably true of ourselves - Sharing the things that mentally excite you has a ripple effect. You can read our piece on the depths and delights of sapiosexuality here.
EDUCATE YOURSELF
With a ‘back to school’ mindset on the agenda at this time of year, why not broaden your horizons a little further over the next few months with one of our Salons?
Our Salons are designed to break down taboos, inspire playful discovery, and help you explore your desires with pleasure, care, and confidence at the heart of it all. These are wonderful for those looking to add a little extra ingredient into the mix, revive your love life, or simply explore new desires. We have a few suggestions…
REVEAL YOUR MAJESTY: RECONNECT WITH YOUR FEMALE SENSUALITY THROUGH THE ART OF STRIPTEASE
11th February
Because who doesn’t want to walk into a room and feel their most majestic self? This Salon is something of an essential in our eyes - a masterclass in how to move and disrobe with confidence while reclaiming your pleasure.
This Salon is as much an act of self love as it is the art of seduction - learning how to speak to yourself in the mirror, how to see that sparkle of your own, along with learning how to strip in front of a partner - because it starts with you.
Pleasure and sexual fulfilment shouldn’t be regarded as luxuries; more women need to regard their own sexual satisfaction as a necessity, an essential part of their wellbeing. Sex and sensuality can and should be fun, and this Salon gives you the tools to bring that combination into your repertoire with empowered confidence, and quite the smile.
This Salon is for women only and does not require nudity from guests - however, we do hope the homework will have quite the contrast. Consider this an early Valentine’s gift that will reap so many benefits.
You can also set the scene in your own space with a playlist we have created for this Salon on Spotify:

ENTWINED: THE ART OF ROPE BONDAGE
18th February
Shibari, meaning "to tie" in Japanese, is an ancient art of Japanese rope bondage that combines intricate knot-tying with aesthetics, sensuality, and psychological connection, evolving from samurai restraint techniques.
The art of rope bondage is about creating beautiful patterns on the body, exploring trust, vulnerability, intimacy, and power dynamics through consensual restraint, leading to relaxation, heightened awareness, and profound connection between participants.
Done with care and intimacy, rope bondage involves surrendering control, building trust, and vulnerability, leading to deep connection, flow state and can bring intense anticipation or calm into the mix - a true art and an incredible way to strengthen intimacy and build unforgettable energies between partners.
Shibari is a multifaceted practice of binding that celebrates connection, art and vulnerability, moving far beyond simple restraint to become a deep exploration of touch, trust, and human connection.
During our Salon we explore a spectrum of possibilities and intentions, learning simple and effective techniques to create and continue to explore this expressive and connective practice with your own flair.

LOVE ME TENDER: THE ART OF IMPACT PLAY AND SPANKING SKILLS
