https://desireleather.org/gender-policy/DESIRE is a one-of-a-kind BDSM event that encourages you to celebrate your sexuality and kink freely, while providing the education and inspiration you need to do so. 

Typically, we transform our own private, clothing-optional resort into a kinky paradise, complete with dungeon equipment and unrestricted play. DESIRE is a player’s weekend with very few rules and our location allows for the types of play other spaces don’t, including fire and fluids.

DESIRE is dedicated to enhancing BDSM education, with workshops and personalized mentoring throughout the weekend. It is a place for kinky Women, Genderqueer, Gender Variant/Expansive, and Trans Women and Trans men Non-Binary (Please read the Gender Policy and decide for your self: https://desireleather.org/gender-policy/ to socialize and connect with each other.

Is it scary?

Yes, but in that oh-so-delicious way. But don’t worry, you’re not expected to participate in anything that makes you uncomfortable and we strictly enforce rules of consent (consensual non-consent is allowed). There may be some things you see that disturb you. If that is the case, we ask you to practice radical self-care and remove yourself from the area.

Meet your hosts.
