✦ TEASE 'N TELL: A PLAYFUL NIGHT OF DESIRES & SECRETS ✦

Craving a night to flirt with your fantasies?

Love the slow burn of almost saying it out loud?

Or maybe you get a thrill spilling your spiciest desires to a room of curious strangers?

Tease 'N' Tell is your 2.5-hour playground!

Lore is your host, the queen of playful provocation, joined by her wildly experienced US colleague—a mysterious maestro of pleasure who’ll pique your curiosity for our weekend buffet. You'll be guided through a delicious evening of verbal s❤️ magic, wish-crafting and just enough naughty to keep you grinning. Expect laughter, connection and a safer space to let your fantasies flirt.

This experience-based evening dives into verbal play and tantalizing exercises, all possible fully clothed, focusing on anticipation. Share as much or as little as you like—lurk passively, leave anytime or dive in deep; your Yes and No are equally celebrated in this consensual space.

Note: This event’s in Ghent (venue details coming soon) at a separate location from our weekend classes!

✦ SHOW 'N TELL BEDROOM FAVORITES (with LIVE DEMOS) ✦

The sxx ed competition: Reid Lets Lore Win (Or So He Thinks!)

Join world-renowned s❤️‍ and relationship geek Reid Mihalko and the celebrated Lore Blancke as they go head-to-head sharing their personal stories and bedroom secrets.

Ever wondered what sxx educators actually do in bed? 

We’re lifting the covers. Literally.

In this special evening of show ‘n tell, Reid Mihalko and Lore Blancke bring their favorite go-to bedroom moves to the stage—for real. No slideshows. No vague metaphors. Just hands-on demos of the things we actually teach and use.

Expect a bit of a contest between the two nerds.

Expect laughter. 

Expect real tools you can bring home.

Because let’s be honest: 

There are so few places where we get to watch and learn when it comes to intimacy. 

We’re expected to know how to touch, move, connect, communicate—without ever having seen it done.

That ends here ;)

Come take a seat, get comfy and watch two sxx educators bring their realest, nerdiest, most-loved practices to life.

In this entertaining, informative and guaranteed-to-be-funny friendly “competitive” throwdown the audience can watch, take notes, ask questions...

- Watch our most-taught most-loved sxx & intimacy practices in action

- Learn what we each do in bed—and why

- Hear our stories, mistakes, preferences and weird hacks

- Ask your questions and make requests (yes really!)

- Leave with a head full of inspiration and maybe a sore belly from laughing

This is sxx ed meets cabaret meets… that one night you’ll keep remembering.

This event is clothes-on for the audience with full consent-based demos. You don’t have to do anything but watch, giggle, take notes and maybe plot world peace through better sxx.

Bring your curiosity. Bring a friend. Bring a notebook. 

But most of all—bring the part of you that wants to learn without shame.

See you there.

Note: This event’s in Ghent (venue details coming soon) at a separate location from our weekend classes!

Saturday 20/09, 9.30 - 12.00 and 13:00 - 15:30

✦ ROUGH SXX FOR NICE FOLKS ✦

If you’re a lover, not a fighter, but you or your lover like it a little rough, let sxx and relationship educator (and double black belt former fight choreographer for indie films) Reid Mihalko and Lore Blancke show you how you can safely be a badass in bed.

From wrestling to rough sxx, to advanced ergonomic techniques, join us for this humorous and informative workshop (with live demos!) on how to unleash your inner Bruce Lee of the bedroom.

In this edutaining class for all genders we’ll cover:

- Rough sxx for nice guys, gals and folks of all genders and orientations

- The difference between “thuddy” and “stingy” and why you should care

- The best sxx positions, proper body positioning and ergonomics for harder, stronger, longer sxx

- Why and how wrestling can be a turn-on

- Hair-pulling 101

- Sp@nking basics made easy

- How to bite (and how not to!)

- How to move your partner’s body around the bed with more ease

- Your burning questions

- And more

For those used to Lore-style: instead of the more immersive, felt experience—this is more a fun, slightly spicy classroom with live demos and clear teachings. 

Practical tools. Real inspiration. Lots of laughs.

No matter your experience level, relationship style or how soft or spicy you like it, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are.

Just like in any offering from Lore or Reid, you’ll always have full choice in your level of participation—and zero pressure to interact beyond what feels good for you.

Bring your curiosity, a friend and maybe a notebook for the gems you want to remember.

Let’s have some fun.

✦ SEN$UAL PLAY PARTY (with INTRO WORKSHOP) ✦

Do you attend play parties or are thinking about attending one? Ever wonder how complete strangers go from finding that spark to fanning the flames of flirtation and then stoking (and stroking!) hawt blazing encounters? Or how NOT to ruin the moment and bring the sxxy moment crashing to a halt?

You are not alone! And the good news is that there are SO MANY ways to be successful at a play party that never have to mean getting naked or getting freaky. (But can if that’s what you want.)

Come join professional sxx and relationship geek and play party facilitator Reid Mihalko and Lore Blancke for a playful, practical and slightly spicy intro workshop that blends a dash of classroom-style clarity with a sprinkle of experiential try-outs.

This isn’t a full-on lecture and it’s not a deep dive either—think of it as a cozy warm-up before the sen$ual play party that follows.

Themes we cover in this workshop:

- How to flirt and get things going without being creepy

- The three biggest mistakes even smart people make when trying to make a connection and take it further…

- Ways to make consent conversations sxxy – create the mood rather than ruin it

- How to tell when you shouldn’t play with someone(s)

- Ice-breaking games you can use at parties (even when you’re the shyest person in the room!)

- Ways to create safer space for others and build a reputation for being someone folks WANT to play with…

Whether you’ve been to a 1000 play parties or are considering going to your first… This evening is designed to help you feel more comfortable and confident at your next play party!

♥︎

In the evening we'll continue bringing our insights into practice and play! We'll transition into the enriching world of a free flow Sen$ual Play Party.

This unique space allows for the kind of expression that feels right for you in every moment, from soft and tender closeness to bold requests to wh!ps and ropes, to your meditative moment of being with yourself. Here, lots can happen yet nothing needs to happen, within the boundaries of keeping your pant!es on. 

You can join this gathering with the complete freedom and choice to not touch anyone and stay fully clothed. It is always an option to take time by yourself.

✦ What to expect: level of interaction ✦

How much will you practice techniques in the workshops and with who, you wonder?

In the workshops ☛ Rough S❤️‍ For Nice Folks

and ☛ Oral S❤️‍ Grad School

the main chunk combines foundational teachings, guided questions and live demonstrations led by Lore and Reid (some of which are explicit). In the second half participants can explore practical exercises if they choose to. Often this can be done clothed if you wish so, except for some of the Grad School workshop. If you come with a partner or find someone who wants to practice together, you can try these exercises out on the spot. Otherwise, feel free to take everything you learn home to explore at your own pace!

The ☛ Show 'N Tell Bedroom Favorites (with LIVE Demos)

offers teachings, demonstrations (of which some are explicit) and the opportunity to ask questions. There is no interactive or on-the-spot practice; instead, all material is designed for you to absorb during the session and explore further at home, allowing you to engage with it at your own pace.

In ☛ Tease 'N' Tell: A Playful Night of Desires & Secrets

and ☛ The intro workshop of the Sen$ual Play Party

are two interactive clothing-on and filled with teachings and playful practices.

You’ll always have full choice in how much you engage and with whom—consent, clarity and comfort are baked into everything we do.
