Folsom: Descent Into Desire

Saturday 14 October 2023
UBQ Collingwood

 

Explore your curiosities, push your boundaries, and celebrate the diversity of human desires

Confronting | Insightful | Salacious

Created and performed by: Biru Pup and local kinksters
Produced by: Biru Pup & Folsom Down Under

At Folsom: Descent Into Desire your journey begins in the artful ties and intricate knots of Shibari with our stunning live rope bondage exhibit. We invite you to witness the raw, poetic interplay of trust and tension that lies at the heart of this centuries-old practice. Adjacent to this, embrace the playful spirit of the pet play pavilion, where our puppies will captivate you with their energetic charm embodying escapism, and sheer joy

Move deeper into our venue and each room you enter becomes a step further into the world of kink. Each space, carefully curated, reveals a different facet of the spectrum of human sensuality. Every display is a testament to the different ways in which people experience and express their fetishes and kinks

Your journey is your own. Take a step, take a pause, explore, and luxuriate in the exhibitions as you please. Traverse every room, or dwell in the ones that resonate with your own unique desires. The choice is yours. For those brave souls willing to venture into the deepest recesses of the venue, a dark, tantalizing reward awaits: The Dungeon. A realm reserved for the truly bold, this space showcases the edgier, more extreme facets of BDSM play. The Dungeon is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare, it promises an unforgettable experience

Folsom: Descent Into Desire celebrates the complexity and richness of human desire. We invite you to observe, learn, and perhaps awaken unexplored aspects of your own desires. Whether you’re a seasoned participant or new to the scene, we welcome you to join us on this exploration of sensuality and self-expression

Dirty Talk with Jack Cannon


Better sex through dirty talk and sub/dom play, and other ways to get under someone’s skin and amply pleasure

Wednesday 8 March, 2023, 7pm
UBQ Collingwood

Presented by Folsom Down Under

 

Ever find yourself wanting to say something sexy while being naughty but feel tongue tied, nervous of sounding stupid, or it just comes out wrong? Learn lots of ways to think about dirty talk and spend some time practising in a safe space with other kinksters. So when you find yourself in those hot heavy moments, dirty talk comes to you easily and with confidence.

Escort and creature of pleasure Jack Cannon will also share his tricks and tips to help communicate with a new lover or sexual partner so you can really understand what gets them off and why. You might learn things about your own preferences as well…

Jack will also talk about how he sets-up the boundaries of play when running a sub/dom play session and how to get the most out of your time and sex.

You’re invited to bring a partner or a friend(s) who you enjoy being sexual with or want to learn more about. We will be talking and practicing with others in the class 1 on 1 or in small groups so be prepared to share and be open.

Inflation Melbourne

Presented by BUFF Events especially for the Folsom Down Under March 2023 season

 

Also ft. Pseudo-ku | Brixx | Jack Hardmën | Connor Wall

In an offshoot of local favourite HOMO EROTICA, delinquent presents an evening of dance music euphoria with a Folsom look and feel. Think dark spaces, uniform worship, exhibitionism, and dirty, filthy techno music.

Roi Perez

Roi Perez is a DJ and music enthusiast. Hailing from Tel Aviv he started playing records in the city’s queer club scene in 2011. Upon his move to Berlin two years on he continued his personal journey of establishing a coherent, creative and cheerful musical language, constantly refining his skills, style and knowledge until present day. Roi soon started playing Berlin’s busiest dancefloors, including Berghain’s Panorama Bar, where he holds a residency. Since then he’s gone to playing worldwide – in sweaty club booths, open air and festival stages.

Picnic in the Park

 

Anyone for a finger sandwich?

Sunday 12 March, 2023, 12pm
Fitzroy Gardens East Melbourne

 

Pack a basket and a blanket, gear up or just throw on a pair of shorts and come chill a with your friends and community over a picnic lunch!

This boutique autumnal gathering is an opportunity to flag your kink in a public space, but in a very relaxed and informal way.

Average temperatures in mid March are in the low to mid 20ºC, often with loads of sun. Melbourne’s well known for its capricious weather though so be prepared!

Do be SunSmart by following this advice from the Cancer Council.

You’re invited to BYO food and beverages. This is not a managed event, so similar to most picnics with family and friends, you’ll be responsible for your own needs. There’ll be no additional facilities available to those already in and around the Gardens.

Note that responsible consumption of BYO alcohol is permitted in the City of Melbourne’s public parks and gardens by individuals or groups of 50 people or less.

Please avoid bringing glass and please take your litter away with you 🖤
