ONLINE How To Be Owned with Tina Horn

Join Sub Rosa's guest educator Tina Horn for How To Be Owned: Dolls, Pets, and Useful Objects, an online class all about objectification.

What do you do when the object of your desire is to be objectified?

Let longtime dominatrix and widely published fetish author Tina Horn guide you into the world of objectification. Sometimes fantasies of being subhuman are the best way to get used exactly the way you want to be.

You may wish to be a literal object: a piece of useful furniture like a stool for some gorgeous feet, or a helpful ashtray for a phallic cigar. Or you might dream of being treated as subhuman: an enthusiastic pet, or a treasured toy. Exploring all styles of intensity from delightful to dark, from dynamic scenes to 24/7 identity, learn how to get what you want by being something you’re not!

We’ll explore ways to drop into object-space, establishing protocol, and many techniques for being in service to the owner/s who deserve/s you. Predicament bondage and sensory deprivation gear; outfits and props; verbal treatment from praise kink to humiliation; pleasure control; group dynamics; exhibitionism and voyeurism; sadomasochistic torture; tease and denial and more will be in play.

We’ll cover primal play, whether you know yourself to be a pup, pony, pig, or kitty (animals are not objects, of course, but there’s overlap in understanding of these desires.) We’ll light up the vanity mirrors for all kinds of “consensual nonconsent” gender play: bimbofication, dollification… even exploring “forced” masculinity!

Tina’s classes always acknowledge the real life political power that lead us to be aroused by ranking social status. There will be a Q&A session to customize advice on the what, why, and how, so bring us your wildest fantasies!

After all, treasured toys get played with the roughest…

Who is this class for?
This online class is angled towards the “owned” bottoms, but there will be plenty of info for “owner” tops. And if you’ve taken one of Tina’s classes, you know we always cover versatile switching! This online class is for people who already have an understanding of BDSM foundations (consent, negotiation, aftercare, etc). Whether you’re someone who entertains fantasies of objectification, or you simply believe that liberation for all can only emerge through collective grappling with erotic power, this workshop is for you! All genders, orientations and all sides of the slash are welcome.

This is an online class. A recording will be available to all ticket holders for 30 days. This class is for adults 18+ only.
