About the Kink Demonstration Room

The mission of the Erotic Ball Kink Demonstration Room is to destigmatize, enlighten, and ignite greater curiosity about BDSM. In that vein, the tastings will leave our guests surprised, excited, and hungry to explore more.

The Kink Demonstration Room takes place in a separate room and features a variety of fetish experiences where guests sign a waiver and then participate in a fetish or kink “tasting”. Tastings are short sessions where guests can be flogged, spanked, tickled, experience ropes play and other safe explorations of non-traditional sexuality in a non-judgmental space. Full nudity, sex acts, and penetrative sex are not permitted. We do not offer “hard core” or more advanced session in the Erotic Ball environment. We focus on consensual play, being respectful of all guests and providing a fun, exploratory experience. If sexual expression and exploration makes you uncomfortable we recommend you stay out of this area. If you are curious, open-minded and want to explore you sexuality, particularly with a partner, safely, you will have a great time. Thank you for supporting sex-positive events and welcome to the Bellingham Erotic Ball!
