PARADOXPUPPY

Secretly 3 puppies in a trench coat, he jumped right into kink two years ago. He has since travelled around the island and to Vancouver in order to learn, demo-bottom and co-teach with his partner and owner, Ikeren. His interests reside mainly in rope, in particular, cruel, disfiguring, fun, strange rope, power exchange relationships, suffering, torture, puppy play, consensual non-consent, and playing with triggers. With a background in gymnastics, self defense and martial arts, his goals are to teach informative and fun classes from the perspective of a bottom-leaning switch. As a trans, queer, disabled jew, he has a strong interest in intersectionality in kink.
PENISAURUS_REX

Penisaurus_Rex is queer, non-monogamous, and usually a top. He entered into kink in the mid 90’s while living in Edmonton. Since then his curiosities and desire for knowledge has driven him to attend workshops and seek out experiences with like minded folx to learn and improve his skills. Around 4 years ago he discovered he had a love for blood and blood play and has continuously expanded and refined his skills, starting with needles, then adding in surgical staples, suturing, and artistic cutting. Most recently he’s begun exploring and playing with saline infusions. He is always seeking to better his skills and explore new ones through workshops and skill shares.
IKEREN

Ikeren has been learning rope for 8 years, and he dearly wants to keep learning as much as possible. He’s been a host of the Victoria Rope Dojo most of that time, and has taught beginner and intermediate rope to hundreds of people in formal classes as well as at skill shares. He’s learned at Vancouver’s Westcoast Bound, Victoria’s Conception Conference, as well as from weekend intensives with KinkRX, Ronnie, Barkas, Peter Slemrian, and many others. His style is a mix of flow and sadism, but he’s always happy to try something new. He’s a Fox with Ropes on Facebook and Instagram.
Aside from rope, Ikeren has a passion for impact and chemical play, is a profound sadist. He’s ran Asylum Victoria, Victoria’s 35 and Under group for 3 years. In real life he’s planted a million trees, which he is inordinately proud of, and he has a profound interest in pedagogy and how, and if, we learn or change our minds.
