BDSLR

BDSLR (they/he) has been mixing sadism, aesthetics and power dynamics into their rope, play and photography in Baltimore since 2015. They have performed and taught internationally, perpetually learning, as well as finding inspiration in other artists and kinksters. BDSLR has a lighthearted teaching style that doesn’t leave out the details. Whether that is minimal sadistic rope ties, upline tricks, or intricate suspensions, there are depths to explore and fun to be had.

Ode2Joy and BDSLR have “grown up together,” as it were, in the kink community. Local to the Baltimore, MD community, they have been tying, shooting, D/s-ing, and poly-ing together for the past decade. Known for their solid dynamic and amusing class banter, they’re fun and entertaining while still dedicated to informing their classes about their philosophies, safety practices, and…you know, how to do it without dying. They highly value presenting classes that feature both top and bottom-led perspectives, and work together to develop structured, interactive classes that include those perspectives, humor, and solid education.
