“[Dagger’s] class was genuinely the highlight of [the weekend] for me. I left absolutely ELECTRIFIED and couldn’t wait to discuss the takeaways with my husband on the drive home… Dagger is obviously both extremely knowledgeable and passionate.”

Monthly Class Series
February: Fucked-Up Love
VIRTUAL: Sundays at 7–9pm ET / 4–6pm PT. Can’t make class time? Students who register in advance get access to class recordings.
Screw hearts and flowers; this February, we’re learning about partner play that takes us to dark places. This series is designed as a toolkit for players who want to explore emotional edgeplay — from physical resistance and fighting back to roleplay based on unethical relationships to rewriting our own trauma in our scenes. Although beginners are welcome to attend, these classes are designed for intermediate players with a solid grasp of consent, negotiation, and safety basics. The series includes:
Feb 1: When No Means Yes: Exploring Consensual Non-Consent — with Jamie Joy
Feb 8: Narrative Ageplay: Stories We Can Play — with Laura Boyle
Feb 15: Trauma Play & Healing: A Deep Dive — with Aidan Sunassee

March: Feral Feelings
VIRTUAL: Sundays at 7–9pm ET / 4–6pm PT. Can’t make class time? Students who register in advance get access to class recordings.
There’s more than one way to be an animal. Our March series features three different approaches to animalistic play that aren’t often represented in mainstream petplay culture — from the raw, spontaneous energy of primal play to the intimate structure of aromantic partnerships to the trancey experiences of femme puppygirls. Whether you’re an experienced petplayer or simply curious about playing with power, you’ll gain tools for negotiating and exploring new headspaces, play styles, and ways of caring for each other. The series includes:
Mar 1: Waking the Beast: Primal Play 101 — with Wiley Wolfe
Mar 8: Aromanticism & Petplay — with Delta Diogenes
Mar 15: Everyone Can Tell You’re a Puppygirl — with Puy

Can’t find the class you want? It might be in the works! Join the newsletter to hear when new classes drop, get a monthly pass to binge the recorded classes library, or suggest a new class.
What to Expect:
All virtual classes are live on Zoom. You’ll receive everything you need via email as soon as you register. Most are two hours long, including time for Q&A.
Can’t make the class time? As long as you register by class time (or for a series, as long as you register by the final class), you’ll get access to the recording. Recordings will be available to watch until the next series of classes begins. After that, the only way to access them will be via the recorded class library on Patreon. (Classes get added there two months after the original series.)
Get Licked! is for everyone: queer, straight, trans, cis, binary, non, monogamous, polyamorous, kinky, vanilla, and all other folks are welcome. Be kind to each other and help each other learn. We are here in community.
Many classes include activities to help you grasp material and build skills. Participation is encouraged, but never required. Listen to your body, and do what feels good for you.
