Workshops & Events
Want to learn about some sexy things, new techniques, and things to try?
Desire For Shy Folks & Newbies
Nervous? Shy? Introverted? First, kudos for putting yourself out there and coming to Desire – to help make your first day easier, we host a relaxed and informal discussion/pep-talk on what you can expect from The Swingset's takeover week, and how to get the most out of this trip!
The Pegging Class
We will guide you through a discussion of pegging and live demonstration of the act. While demonstrating, we will discuss the act, preparation, and the elusive prostate orgasm. You’re encouraged to bring your own dildos and harnesses and participate alongside. In the past, it has happened, that this turns into a pegging train on Cooper, so that’s always possible.
Tuning In and Turning On: Fucking on All Frequencies
Join Ginger and Ryan for an experiential circle exploring energy play and multisensory erotic connection. Experiment with tuning deeper into yourself and a partner as you play with accessing altered states through mindfulness and shamanic practices. Bring a partner and an open mind. We will be connecting erotically, but not being physically sexual during this circle. (But take your new found frequencies with you and have at it when we wrap up!)
Rum, Ropes, & Red Bottoms
A workshop covering mostly rope bondage and impact play like flogging and spanking. Demos will include bedroom bondage and impact play, and who knows what might happen once people start making requests! You’re encouraged to bring your own toys if you have them, and there will be time set aside for mentoring and open play. It will also be an opportunity to meet the Dungeon Night service tops as most/all will be there.
Toy Show & Tell
Bring your toys to share and discuss with you fellow travelers, especially things that others may not have seen before.
Cocktail Social/Welcome
The Swingset crew will be on hand to welcome you to the resort, raise some glasses, and welcome you to the resort in spectacular fashion.
Courtyard Karaoke
One of the surprisingly most popular events last year was Courtyard Karaoke, making a triumphant return with Dylan as your KJ and a collection of nearly 100,000 songs, your request is his Desire.
Disco Dungeon Night
The kinkiest of Swingsetters invite you to an evening takeover of the disco and playroom that will fulfill your deepest BDSM desires. Everyone is welcome, and you can get much more info from the first part of this guidebook. Monday’s kinky toy show/tell and workshop are highly recommended for anyone new to or curious about kink. – Click here for more info on this event.
Foam Party
Twice during our week, the resort fills the pool with foam from a massive foam machine. Dance and play to your heart’s content. Cooper recommends you indulge your steampunk know-how with goggles and a mask. Because Cooper…is weird.
Low Light Hot-Tub Stargazing
Multiple times during the week, after midnight, we’ll be dimming the lights at the hot tub to get some stargazing in. The Leonid meteor shower is, after all, the following week, and meteors are often spottable. The hot tub will still be host to its regular shenanigans. Just darker. So be careful.
Tasting with the Nobles
Come nerd out on spiked grape juice with your unofficial LOTS Desire wine soms as they provide a fun and educational oenological tour (i.e., sips not gulps) through the 6 major wine varietals accompanied with small bite food pairings!
Wine and Beer Social
Wine and beer aficionados among us gather in the rotunda to sip wine, and discuss whatever is on our minds (which may be a lot by Friday!) You are encouraged to bring spirits from home, from the Airport duty free, or from the resort.
Beach Workouts
Workouts on the beach consisting of mobility work, body-weight exercise circuits, and high-intensity interval training. Each session should last between 40 and 50 minutes.
Late Nite Play Events
A few nights of our trip will be dedicated to special play events, facilitated and themed up by the hot tub.
Women Only Orgy • Gang Bangs/Trains • Bi Guystravaganza
Breakfast Club Discussions
A daily discussion group at the breakfast buffet will have a facilitator and different discussion topic every day.
Polyamory & Relationships • Risk Aware Sex & STI Stigma • Communication Tools
Insecurity & Fear in the Lifestyle • Privilege • Attraction Spectrums
Live Podcasts
Podcasts from our hosts recorded live in the courtyard.
